Vacuum evaporators

Vacuum evaporators for precise evaporation of solvents

Vacuum evaporators are technologically advanced devices that enable precise concentration of liquids and effective separation of their individual components. Thanks to the use of vacuum, the boiling process takes place at much lower temperatures, which effectively protects heat-sensitive substances from thermal degradation.

Modern systems, based on the cooperation of evaporator, pump and condenser, guarantee not only high efficiency, but also real economic benefits. The use of this technology allows for:

• protection of valuable properties of thermolabile components,
• instant and effective solvent recovery,
• reduction of energy expenditure by up to 80%,
• intensive heat exchange, accelerating the pace of work,
• significant optimization of operating costs,
• maintaining the highest quality of the final product.

These solutions are now a standard in the chemical and food industries, where the priority is to combine speed with attention to every detail of the production process.

IKA and DLAB rotary evaporators for research laboratories

Rotary evaporators of renowned brands IKA and DLAB, including the RV 8, RV 10 and Phoenix RE-100D models, are key elements of a modern laboratory. These devices provide rapid solvent removal and the highest precision thanks to the following features:

• effective wastewater treatment in electroplating,
• precise concentration of juices and masses,
• energy savings thanks to MVR and heat pumps,
• A significant reduction in the carbon footprint.

Compliance with Best Available Techniques (BAT) ensures stable line operation, especially in dairy plants. It is a modern investment that really protects the environment and the budget of your company!

STRIKE 100 ATEX explosion-proof vacuum evaporators

The STRIKE 100 ATEX evaporators  from Steroglass are advanced units designed for the safe processing of flammable substances. Available in 50 or 100 litre flask variants, they form the basis of equipment in modern industrial plants operating in hazardous areas.

The design of these devices focuses on uncompromising tightness, which effectively prevents fumes from escaping into the environment. The most important technical distinguishing features include:

• use of specialized anti-spark coatings,
• use of seals resistant to aggressive chemicals,
• lack of reaction of components with process media,
• guarantee of longevity of equipment in difficult conditions,
• the highest level of operational safety,
• Full process optimization in the pharmaceutical sector.

In places where efficient solvent distillation is crucial, these models have become the market standard. Their primary role remains the protection of employees and property, which translates into work stability and minimization of risk throughout the production plant.

Evaporative flasks, coolers and water-oil baths

Precise apparatus is the foundation of efficient distillation. Laboratory systems combine material strength with precision to ensure the safety and purity of substances. Key solutions include:

• evaporation flasks with a capacity of up to 100 liters,
• Efficient Glass coolers for condensing vapours,
• universal water and oil bath,
• integrated heavy glass lifter,
• Teflon seals and borosilicate glass,
• protective coatings to protect against spatter

The materials used guarantee the crystal clarity of the distillate. The automation of the STRIKE series and the touch interface make it easy to program cycles. Modern controllers minimize errors, ensuring full repeatability of processes and high quality standards.

Borosilicate and PTFE glass resistant to aggressive substances

When working with aggressive chemicals, reliability and resistance to harsh environments are essential. The use of borosilicate 3.3 glass provides protection against rapid temperature jumps and the action of concentrated acids and alkalis. Thanks to full automation, the distillation process is carried out under strict control, which guarantees the highest quality, especially important in food processing.

The advanced design of the device offers a range of solutions to increase efficiency and safety. These are:

• precise PLCs with intuitive touch interface,
• the ability to memorize recipes to achieve identical results,
• continuous monitoring of vacuum level and operating temperature,
• intelligent security systems, reacting to any anomalies,
• high tightness of the system - thanks to the use of PTFE components,
• durable stainless steel piping,
• Up to 30% longer equipment life in demanding environments.

PLC control and touch screen for process control

Advanced PLCs combined with intuitive touch panels make the operation of the device almost maintenance-free. The system continuously optimizes key operating parameters visible on a clear screen, ensuring the highest precision and full safety. The use of modern technologies allows you to gain full control over the process:

• precise management of bath temperature,
• smooth adjustment of the stock speed,
• maintaining a stable vacuum level,
• automatic archiving of production data,
• the possibility of convenient remote control,
• Intelligent elimination of sudden pressure fluctuations.

Thanks to sensors that monitor the process in real time, every distillation runs smoothly. This approach not only increases the comfort of the operator's work, but above all guarantees repeatable results and high energy efficiency, which is crucial in modern industry.
