IKA RV 8 rotary evaporator with dry ice cooler, coated glass, 0010006360
The IKA RV 8 rotary evaporator with dry ice cooler (coated) represents a specialised, mechatronic system solution for highly efficient distillation and solvent recovery, which operates entirely independently of a conventional cooling water infrastructure. Designed as a professional entry-level model, this setup is ideally suited for use in laboratories where no running cooling water is available, or for processes in which extremely volatile, low-boiling-point solvents (such as ether or acetone) need to be condensed reliably and without significant emissions. When thermally separating complex mixtures of substances under vacuum, the precise interplay of mechanical rotational stability and maximum cryogenic condensation capacity guarantees gentle and reproducible operation. Ergonomic mechanics and precise process control The mechanical system architecture of the RV 8 is characterised by a perfectly balanced, manual lift. The entire glass assembly can be moved vertically with minimal effort. An integrated, mechanically adjustable end stop (Safety Stop) protects the glass assembly from accidental collision with the bottom of the heating bath or surrounding laboratory equipment. The ergonomic one-handed operation is optimally accessible for both right- and left-handed users. Precise control of the surface area is ensured by the digital LED display, which continuously shows the rotational speed. This can be adjusted with high precision from 5 to 300 revolutions per minute using a stepless rotary control, to ensure uniform film formation on the inner wall of the flask. Universal heating bath with high thermodynamic energy density The process engineering foundation for thermal energy transfer is provided by the HB digital universal water-oil heating bath, which is included in the scope of delivery. With a heating power of 1,300 watts, the bath achieves extremely short heat-up times and allows for a flexible operating temperature range from room temperature up to 180 °C. The system thus covers a wide range of applications, from conventional evaporation processes to high-boiling-point distillations. A clear digital display clearly shows the setpoint and actual temperatures. The ergonomically designed heating bath features integrated safety handles for safe handling and is structurally designed so that it can be moved flexibly within its footprint to optimally adjust the immersion depth of the evaporating flask. Maximum condensation capacity thanks to a coated dry-ice cooler The standout feature of this model variant is the vertical dry-ice cooler. Instead of a conventional cooling coil, the cooling jacket is filled with a mixture of dry ice and acetone (or a comparable cryogenic medium), enabling extremely low condensation temperatures of up to –78 °C to be achieved. This guarantees the near-complete capture of even the most volatile solvent vapours. To ensure uncompromising occupational safety, the entire glass assembly is encased in a transparent, highly resistant plastic safety coating (Coated). This protective layer minimises the risk of glass breakage due to mechanical impact and, in the critical event of an implosion under vacuum, prevents glass shards and toxic substances from flying about uncontrollably.

IKA RV 8 V rotary evaporator, hand lift, including heating bath and glassware set, 0010003482
The reliable entry-level evaporator: IKA RV 8 V The IKA RV 8 V (MPN 0010003482) is the ideal rotary evaporator for all users seeking high-quality distillation technology at an attractive price. As the entry-level model in the IKA range, the RV 8 focuses on the essentials: durability, functional precision and ease of use. It is ideally suited for use in university education, school laboratories and research and industrial departments where standard solvents need to be evaporated on a routine basis without the need for fully automated process control. Ergonomic manual lift with safety feature Unlike the motorised models (RV 10), the RV 8 features a smooth-running manual lift. This has been specially developed with ergonomics in mind. The key feature: the lift handle is positioned so that it can be operated effortlessly by both right- and left-handed users. The precise mechanism allows the evaporator flask to be positioned with pinpoint accuracy in the heating bath. An integrated safety stop prevents the flask from accidentally striking the bottom of the heating bath and causing glass breakage. This manual control provides the user with direct feedback and requires very little maintenance, as no motor electronics are needed for the lifting action. High-performance HB 10 heating bath The scope of delivery includes the high-quality HB 10 heating bath with a volume of 4 litres. It covers a temperature range from room temperature to 180 °C and is therefore suitable for use with both water and temperature-control oil. This broadens the range of applications from low-boiling-point solvents to those requiring higher temperatures. The bath impresses with its well-thought-out features: Ergonomics: Integrated carrying handles allow for safe emptying and transport, even when the bath is still warm. Safety: A locking mechanism secures the bath firmly to the base unit, whilst still allowing flexible adjustment to accommodate different flask sizes. Versatility: The heating bath can also be used as a ‘stand-alone’ unit for other temperature control tasks in the laboratory, making the investment doubly worthwhile. Efficient distillation with a vertical condenser The ‘V’ in the name stands for the vertical glassware set supplied. This standard glassware set is the space-saving solution for most laboratory fume cupboards. The condenser offers a cooling surface area of 1,500 cm², which guarantees efficient condensation of solvent vapours and thus high recovery rates. The connections for cooling water and vacuum are conveniently located. The system is compatible with the entire IKA RV 10 glassware range, offering you full flexibility should you require it (e.g. switching to dry-ice coolers or coated glass). Intuitive operation and control Despite its basic design, the RV 8 offers digital convenience. The drive speed (adjustable from 5 to 300 rpm) is shown on an easy-to-read digital display. The temperature of the heating bath is also displayed digitally. This enables reproducible setting of the process parameters. The angle of the evaporating flask is infinitely adjustable to optimise wetting of the flask surface and thus the evaporation rate. Focus on safety IKA makes no compromises when it comes to safety. The unit operates internally at a low safety voltage (24 V), which minimises the risk in the event of contact with liquids. The flask clamping mechanism with integrated release device (‘Push-Out’) allows for easy and safe replacement of the evaporating flasks, even if they are stuck due to a vacuum or crystallisation. The scope of delivery also includes a Woulff bottle, which serves as a safety vessel upstream of the vacuum pump.

Heidolph Hei-VAP Core, Handlift, G3 vertical cooler, 571-01300-00
Focusing on the essentials: the Heidolph Hei-VAP Core (Handlift / G3) The Heidolph Hei-VAP Core (MPN 571-01300-00) is the answer to the demand from many laboratories for a rotary evaporator that ‘simply works’. Without complex menu structures or overloaded touchscreens, this model offers absolute reliability and intuitive operation for day-to-day use. Equipped with the classic Handlift and the universal G3 vertical condenser, this package is the gold standard for standard distillations at universities, in training and in industrial quality control. Operating concept: intuitive and safe The Hei-VAP Core’s control panel is self-explanatory. Direct access: Two large rotary controls regulate the key parameters: rotation and heating bath temperature. You have full tactile control at all times. Digital display: Unlike purely analogue devices, the bright digital display shows the actual and setpoint values precisely. A single glance is enough to tell you whether the process is running stably. Lock function: To prevent accidental adjustment of the parameters (e.g. by cleaning staff or colleagues), the settings can be locked electronically. The Handlift: Feel what’s happening This package includes the tried-and-tested Handlift. Why do so many professionals deliberately opt against a motorised lift? Direct feedback: As you lower the piston into the heating bath, you can feel the resistance. You can position the piston with extreme precision and speed, or pull it out of the bath in a flash if ‘boil-off’ (foam formation) occurs. Robustness: Where there is no motor, there is no electronics to fail. The mechanical lift is practically indestructible and guarantees a silky-smooth operation even after years of use. G3 Vertical Cooler: The space-saver The G3 glass set is the standard for most applications. The vertical condenser saves valuable width in the fume cupboard (compared to slanted diagonal condensers). With a condensation surface area of approx. 1,400 cm², it offers excellent distillation performance for solvents such as ethanol, acetone or ethyl acetate. The system is designed for maximum vacuum and, thanks to high-quality seals (PTFE/FKM), is extremely leak-resistant. Safety comes first Heidolph is renowned for uncompromising safety (“Research made easy”). Residual heat indicator: Even when the unit is switched off, a flashing light ring warns the user as long as the bath temperature remains above 50 °C. This protects against burns. Separate on/off switch: The unit does not switch on accidentally when the power is connected, but must be started deliberately. Heating bath: The double-walled heating bath provides excellent insulation (no risk of burns from the outer wall) and features ergonomic carrying handles for safe emptying. Durability and protection The Hei-VAP Core’s electronics are protected against splashing water and dust in accordance with protection class IP 42. Ventilation slots and drainage channels are designed to prevent spilled liquids from entering the interior of the unit. The patented clamping sleeve system prevents the steam passage tube from becoming stuck in the drive – a common problem with other makes, which has been elegantly resolved here.

IKA RV 8 pro V-C Complete rotary evaporator, coated vertical glass, 0010012325
The IKA RV 8 pro V-C Complete rotary evaporator is a highly advanced, mechatronic system solution for efficient, gentle distillation, concentration and solvent recovery in chemical, pharmaceutical and biotechnology laboratories. As an entry-level model in professional distillation technology, this complete system combines tried-and-tested functionality with the highest levels of operator ergonomics and process reliability. When thermally separating complex mixtures of substances in research and routine operations, the precise interplay between rotational speed, thermodynamic energy input and vacuum stability is the primary criterion for reliably guaranteeing reproducible evaporation rates without causing thermal damage to the analytes. Ergonomic design and precise mechanical stroke guidance The mechanical system architecture of the RV 8 pro is characterised by a precisely balanced, manual lift mechanism that enables effortless and precise positioning of the evaporator flask in the heating bath. An integrated, mechanically adjustable end stop (Safety Stop) protects the glass apparatus from accidental collision with the bottom of the bath or surrounding laboratory equipment. The ergonomic one-handed operation is optimally accessible for both right- and left-handed users. Additional ease of use is provided by the digital LED display, which continuously shows the rotation speed; this can be adjusted with high precision from 5 to 300 revolutions per minute via a stepless rotary control to ensure uniform film formation on the inner wall of the flask. Universal heating bath and material-friendly thermodynamics The HB digital universal water-oil heating bath, included as standard, forms the process engineering foundation for thermal energy transfer. With a heating capacity of 1,300 watts, the bath achieves extremely short heat-up times and allows for a flexible operating temperature range from room temperature up to 180 degrees Celsius. This makes the system suitable for both low-boiling-point solvents and high-boiling-point phases. A clear digital display clearly shows the setpoint and actual temperatures. The ergonomically designed heating bath features integrated safety handles for safe handling and is structurally designed so that it can be moved flexibly within its footprint to optimally adjust the immersion depth of the flask.

IKA RV 10 digital V rotary evaporator, vertical cooler, HB 10 heating bath, RS 232, 0010004799
Efficiency and safety in everyday laboratory work: the IKA RV 10 digital V The IKA RV 10 digital V (MPN 0010004799) is the logical evolution of the tried-and-tested RV 10 series. As a digital upgrade to the basic model, this complete rotary evaporator package offers not only the highest precision but also cutting-edge interfaces for the modern Laboratory 4.0. Equipped with the vertical glass set (V), this system is the ideal all-rounder for standard distillations, reflux applications and drying processes in the chemical, pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors. Intelligent technology for reproducible results Unlike analogue devices, the RV 10 digital features an easy-to-read display that provides information on the heating bath temperature, rotational speed and timer function at all times. This enables precise reproducibility of your experiments. A particular highlight is the RS 232 interface: it allows remote control of the unit as well as comprehensive documentation of all process parameters via the labworldsoft laboratory software ®. In addition, the drive unit communicates directly with the heating bath via an infrared interface, enabling intelligent power control. Safety without compromise When working with solvents and heat, safety is paramount. The RV 10 digital sets new standards in this regard. The motorised lift features an integrated ‘Safety-Stop’ function: in the event of a power cut, the evaporator piston automatically retracts from the hot bath. This reliably prevents the medium from overheating or the sample from ‘boiling dry’. The universal heating bath (water/oil) heats up to 180 °C and is equipped with dry-run protection and an adjustable safety temperature circuit. Ergonomic carrying handles on the bath also ensure safe handling when filling or emptying, and the lockable bath base prevents accidental slipping. User-friendliness and durability During development, IKA placed particular emphasis on usability. The timer function enables time-controlled processes, ideal for routine tasks. The patented release mechanism significantly simplifies the replacement of the evaporating flask: even flasks that are firmly stuck can be released safely and with minimal effort, minimising the risk of glass breakage. The RV 10.1 vertical condenser included in the set is extremely space-saving and efficient. With a cooling surface area of 1,500 cm², it ensures high condensation rates. The coated versions (available as an option) offer additional protection against splintering. Soft start and intermittent operation The motor’s soft start prevents the medium from spilling over at start-up, even at high fill levels. For difficult-to-handle media, the RV 10 digital offers intermittent operation (right-left cycle), which improves mixing and can speed up the drying process. The unit also automatically detects the lift’s end stop and can be individually adjusted to suit your glassware. Detailed technical specifications Cooler type: Vertical (RV 10.1) Cooling surface area: 1,500 cm² Speed range: 5 – 280 rpm Speed display: Digital Heating bath temperature: Room temperature to 180 °C Heating power: 1,300 W Lift: Motorised (stroke 140 mm) Interfaces: RS 232 (PC), IR (bath) Timer: Yes Safety features: Lift-out in the event of a power cut, dry-run protection, safety temperature circuit Protection rating: IP 20 Permissible ambient temperature: 5 – 40 °C Dimensions (W x H x D): 500 x 430 x 410 mm Weight: approx. 20 kg Contents 1 x IKA RV 10 digital drive unit 1 x HB 10 heating bath (universal water/oil) 1 x RV 10.1 glassware set (vertical condenser, 1000 ml evaporating flask, 1000 ml receiving flask) 1 x steam connection Operating instructions and cable Customised requirements & accessories Do you require a vacuum pump (e.g. VACSTAR digital), a recirculating cooler (RC 2 lite) or coated glassware for enhanced safety?

IKA RV 3 V-C rotary evaporator, coated vertical condenser, 0010003328
Thermodynamics of phase transitions and wick film evaporation In instrumental solvent recovery, distillation kinetics are based on the manipulation of vapour pressure curves through the application of a vacuum. The IKA RV 3 rotary evaporator controls this phase transition (liquid to gas) via precise mechanical rotation of the evaporator flask. The stepless direct drive generates speeds of 20 to 300 revolutions per minute. This rotation uses radial centrifugal forces to force the liquid medium in the flask to form a continuous, extremely thin liquid film (wipe film) on the heated inner glass wall. This fluid-mechanical surface enlargement drastically maximises the heat transfer coefficient from the 4-litre heating bath into the medium. At the same time, the continuous mixing prevents thermodynamic boiling delay and reduces the specific evaporation enthalpy, enabling even high-boiling-point solvents to be gently distilled off at moderate heating bath temperatures. Polymer physics and mechanical vacuum containment From a process engineering perspective, distillation apparatus operates under high vacuum, which exerts a massive negative differential pressure (Δp) on the molecular silicate structure of the glass components. Under this pressure, mechanical micro-cracks or thermal shock stresses can lead to a catastrophic implosion. The suffix ‘V-C’ (Vertical – Coated) defines the safety-related architecture of this system: the entire borosilicate vertical cooler is completely coated with a highly transparent, thermoplastic polymer matrix. In the event of glass fracture, this plastic coating acts as a mechanical vacuum containment. It absorbs the kinetic energy of the collapsing glass structure and absolutely reliably prevents the ballistic ejection of glass splinters and toxic aerosols into the laboratory atmosphere. Kinematics of the lifting system and immersion angle geometry On the RV 3, the physical positioning of the evaporating flask at the thermodynamic centre of the heating bath is achieved via a purely mechanical, manual lifting system. Locking the vertical axis requires the use of both hands, which, from a safety perspective, prevents the glass components from being lowered unintentionally by gravity. The mechanical end stop of the lifting mechanism can be precisely set manually to physically prevent the rotating glass flask from colliding with the base of the heating bath. In addition, the system allows for stepless adjustment of the immersion angle, enabling the fluid-dynamic geometry of the flask to be adapted to asymmetrical fill volumes or varying viscosities of the sample matrix. Technical details Product type: Rotary evaporator with manual lifting system Thermodynamic principle: Thin-film evaporation under vacuum Cooler geometry: Vertical cooler (V-C) Glass coating (containment): Thermoplastic splatter protection (coated) Drive kinematics: Stepless rotation (20–300 rpm) Heating bath volume: 4 litres (HB eco heating bath for aqueous media) Lifting mechanism: Manual lift with two-handed safety lock and end stop Immersion angle: Infinitely adjustable to optimise fluid dynamics Cooling surface area: 1500 cm² for maximum thermodynamic condensation rate Scope of delivery 1 x IKA RV 3 drive unit (manual lift) 1 x IKA HB eco heating bath (4 litres) 1 x IKA RV 10.10 glassware set (vertical condenser, coated, incl. evaporating flask and receiving flask) (Important note: The vacuum pump, which is essential for distillation, the vacuum controller and a recirculating cooler for thermodynamic condensation are not included in the scope of delivery!) Individual requirements & accessories The RV 3 V-C is a purely physical distillation apparatus and does not generate any phase transitions without the appropriate pressure and cooling infrastructure. To maintain the thermodynamic gradient in the vertical condenser, it is essential to combine it with a high-performance recirculating cooler (e.g. IKA RC 2 basic). To manipulate the vapour pressure curve of the solvent, you must use a chemical-resistant diaphragm vacuum pump. Please contact our procurement service at any time for a metrologically accurate calculation of vacuum and cooling capacity requirements for your specific solvents.
