IKA HB eco Heating Bath (3L, 180°C, for RV series), 0020016337

The RV 10 digital FLEX is the glassware-free version of the digital line: drive, heating bath and 7-segment control are identical to the RV 10 digital V, but the vertical glassware is deliberately missing from the box. Anyone who already owns a receiving flask, condenser or another set of flasks, for example from a decommissioned predecessor device, saves the purchase of duplicate glassware with the FLEX and combines the drive unit freely with existing or desired accessories. At 18.5 kilograms, the basic unit weighs considerably less than the complete versions at around 32 kilograms, which makes transport and installation at cramped workstations easier.Free glassware configuration instead of a fixed setWhether uncoated vertical glassware RV 10.1, the coated version RV 10.10 or a diagonal setup, with the FLEX the laboratory itself decides which glassware combination suits the respective application, and can, if required, continue to use the same glassware between several drive units. As with the complete models, the speed ranges from 5 to 280 revolutions per minute, and a soft start and selectable clockwise/anticlockwise rotation in interval mode protect sensitive samples.Heating bath and safety technology unchangedThe heating bath reaches up to 180 degrees Celsius with 1 kelvin setting accuracy and holds a maximum of 4 litres, and a timer takes over recurring process steps. The motorised lift automatically raises the flask out of the hot bath on power failure, and individually adjustable safety temperature circuits, dry-run protection and an adjustable end-position detection provide additional protection against glass breakage. The device can be connected to the labworldsoft software via the RS-232 interface. On the mains, the device runs at 220 to 240 volts and 1400 watts device power consumption. For other mains voltages, IKA also supplies the same model in the versions 115 V, 100 to 240 V, 100 to 120 V and 100 to 115 V.Typical applicationsReplacement drive where existing glassware is still intactBuilding individual glassware configurations for special distillation tasksSecond device at a site with RV 10 accessories already availableCost-conscious procurement when compatible glassware is already in houseSelection guide: the RV 10 family at a glanceFLEX models like this one differ from the V and V-C solely in the missing glassware, and technically the drive and heating bath are identical. Anyone who does not yet have a firm idea of the suitable glassware combination is usually ready to start sooner with one of the complete models.

RV 10 auto pro FLEX The completely redesigned RV 10 auto is the flagship model in IKA’s rotary evaporator product range. Its key features include innovative operation via a brilliant TFT colour graphic display, an integrated vacuum controller, cooling water monitoring and sophisticated safety standards. The RV 10 auto offers all the features required for efficient, safe and economical operation. These include automatic control of the vacuum and the cooling water flow rate. The intuitive operation quickly guides the user to the desired result. The RV 10 auto allows the user to carry out customised procedures via advanced ramp programming. Further innovative features such as soft start, alternating clockwise and anti-clockwise rotation in interval mode, and the timer function for controlling time sequences simplify day-to-day laboratory work. Safety is ensured by the motor-driven lift with a ‘safety-stop’ function. In the event of a power failure, it automatically lifts the evaporating flask out of the heating bath. In addition, individually adjustable safety temperature circuits, dry-run protection, adjustable end-position detection to protect against glass breakage, and a lock function ensure user safety. Furthermore, the receiving flasks and the condenser are also available in a coated version. The USB or RS-232 interface allows remote control via the IKA ‘labworldsoft’ software and enables updates via the firmware update tool. The scope of delivery includes vacuum hoses and water hose connections for your in-house cooling water supply. The new IKA Vacstar digital, included in the scope of delivery, is controlled directly by the RV 10 auto drive unit via the supplied data cable. 4-litre heating bath Automatic boiling point detection Integrated vacuum controller Integrated solvent library with 40 pre-stored and expandable solvents Operation via a brilliant TFT colour graphic display Universal safety heating bath Optimised bath volume for rapid heating Ergonomic carrying handles on the heating bath Safety temperature circuit Dry-run protection Coated and uncoated glassware available as accessories Intuitive operation via simple menu navigation Programming of up to ten individual procedures Soft start Right-left rotation Timer function End-position detection Piston extraction device for stuck pistons Digital interfaces: USB and RS-232 interfaces for remote control Multilingual Automatic cooling water management Automatic aeration Automatic heating bath management Warranty By registering online at www.ika.com/register, you can extend the warranty on your equipment free of charge.

The RV 8 FLEX is the pure drive unit of the IKA RV 8 series, without glassware and without a condenser. Anyone who already has their own glassware in house or wants to select it specifically by process does not have to buy a preconfigured set with the FLEX. The hand lift works manually, and the device manages without a motorised lift and without a vacuum controller, but is ready for immediate use for laboratories that know their distillation routines and value a free choice of glassware combination. An HB digital heating bath with 4 litre filling volume is included in the scope of delivery despite the reduced equipment. This division is particularly worthwhile with several RV 8 devices operated in parallel: a replacement drive can be mounted quickly on the FLEX without having to order another set of glassware that ends up unused in the cupboard.Free choice of glassware and condenserWithout a fixed set of glassware, the RV 8 FLEX can be fitted with any combination from the IKA RV 10 glassware range, from uncoated vertical glassware through the coated version to the dry ice condenser. This is worthwhile above all for laboratories that run different processes with changing requirements for breakage protection or cooling capacity and do not want to keep several complete devices on hand. The RV 05.10 ball joint clamp and NS 29 clamp are already included, so that separately procured glassware can be mounted directly.Hand lift and safety functionsThe manual lift raises and lowers over a stroke of 120 millimetres, the immersion angle is continuously adjustable, and one-handed operation works for right-handed and left-handed users. If the power fails, an integrated safety lift automatically raises the flask out of the heating bath. Digital displays for rotation speed and heating bath temperature run independently of the chosen glassware configuration, and the speed ranges from 5 to 300 rpm.Heating bath and connected loadThe supplied heating bath heats up to 180 degrees Celsius with a setting accuracy of 1 kelvin, carrying handles make transport easier, and a key button locks the set temperature against accidental adjustment. A 24-volt DC circuit in the device reduces the risk compared with components carrying mains voltage. On the mains, the RV 8 FLEX runs at 100 to 240 volts and 1500 watts device power consumption, and the heating bath draws up to 1400 watts.Typical applicationsLaboratories with existing glassware that are looking for a new drive unit without duplicate accessoriesChanging distillation processes with different needs for breakage protection or cooling capacityReplacement procurement when only the drive has to be replaced but the glassware is retainedTraining laboratories that demonstrate different sets of glassware on the same driveSelection guide: the RV 8 family at a glanceFive RV 8 versions are available at LT Laborhandel, all with a manual hand lift. The FLEX is the only version without any glassware and condenser equipment. It is suitable above all when glassware and condenser are already available or are to be selected separately by process.ModelGlasswareCondenserPeripherals in setRV 8 V-CVertical glassware, coated (RV 10.10)Vertical condenser, 1500 cm²without pump, without chillerRV 8 FLEX (this product)without glasswarewithout condenserwithout pump, without chillerRV 8 with dry ice condenserEvaporating and receiving flask, without glassware setRV 10.4 dry ice condenser, uncoatedwithout pump, without chillerRV 8 with dry ice condenser, coatedEvaporating and receiving flask, coatedRV 10.40 dry ice condenser, coatedwithout pump, without chillerRV 8 V Starter SolutionVertical glassware, uncoated (RV 10.1)Vertical condenser, 1500 cm²VACSTAR lite, RC 2 liteRV 8 pro V-C Complete, coated vertical glassVertical glassware, coatedVertical condenserComplete set (details on the product page)Anyone looking for a glassware-free drive unit with TFT display and integrated vacuum controller will find, in the RV 10 auto pro FLEX the automated version with a speed range up to 300 rpm.
