Rotary evaporator R-1010CE

Overview

The Rotary evaporator R-1010CE is a laboratory distillation instrument designed for the efficient and gentle removal of solvents from samples. It operates on the established rotary evaporation principle: the evaporating flask rotates while being heated in a water bath under negative pressure, forming a thin film across the inner surface of the flask. This thin film increases the available surface area, allowing the solvent to evaporate effectively at reduced temperatures, after which the vapor condenses and is collected in the receiving flask. The combination of rotation, controlled heating and vacuum makes it suitable for heat-sensitive substances that require careful processing.

Technical Specifications

• Power supply: 220V–240V / 50Hz
• Evaporating flask: 10L × 1
• Receiving flask: 5L × 1
• Bath temperature range: ambient to 95℃
• Rotation speed: 20–130 rpm
• Motor power: 250 W
• Motorized lift travel: 0–160 mm
• Water bath material: SUS304 stainless steel

Design and Features

This model is built around a large-capacity, large-diameter flask configuration. The 10L evaporating flask provides a generous evaporation area, which supports the diffusion of the evaporated solution and helps maintain steady throughput during larger processing tasks. The adjustable rotation speed from 20 to 130 rpm lets operators tune film formation to the properties of each sample, while the water bath, heated from ambient up to 95℃, supplies the thermal energy needed for evaporation under vacuum. The motorized lift, with 0–160 mm of travel, allows the flask assembly to be raised and lowered conveniently, helping to position the flask in and out of the bath. A SUS304 stainless steel water bath offers good corrosion resistance and durability for routine laboratory use.

Because the system relies on negative pressure to lower the boiling point of solvents, pairing it with appropriate vacuum components is important. A connection such as a vacuum adapter with a 14/23 socket and cone can be used to integrate the unit into a complete vacuum line. Laboratories that need a comparable single-flask system of the same volume class may also consider the R-1005CE with a 10-liter evaporating flask.

Typical Applications

The R-1010CE is intended for use in chemical laboratories and production environments. Its large flask and broad evaporation area make it applicable to biological, pharmaceutical, chemical, food and related fields where solvent recovery, concentration, drying, separation and cleaning distillation tasks are required. It can also be used to collect and split solvents for cleaning purposes, supporting both research and small-scale production workflows.

For projects with smaller volume requirements or different bench footprints, the broader range of rotary evaporators offers alternative configurations. Across the line, the same core operating principle applies, allowing laboratories to select the capacity and feature set that best matches their distillation and solvent-removal needs.
