IKA® RV 10 Rotary Evaporators with Integrated Heating Bath
By Ika Works
The RV 10 Rotary Evaporator series sets new standards for safety, efficiency and ease of use. Every model features a lifting mechanism that raises the evaporator piston out of the heating bath in case of power failure. The comprehensive safety features also include interval operation, smooth start, end position recognition for the evaporator piston, and a timer function. The digital version also provides a digital temperature display and an RS 232 interface. For fully automated distillation, IKA® offers the control version complete with integrated vacuum controller, USB interface and graphical display.
RV 10 Basic: The basic rotary evaporator with integrated HB 10 heating bath is the base system of IKA®'s new rotary evaporator line.
- Heating bath with adjustable safety circuit, "stand alone" operation possible, pivoting safety hood as accessory
- Safe and simple operation through ergonomically shaped operator unit in the front area
- Motorised lift (stroke 140mm) with "safety stop" function, if the power cuts out the evaporator piston is automatically lifted out of the heating bath
- Adjustable end position recognition to protect the glass from breaking
- Speed range from 20 to 280 rpm
- Smooth start from 100 rpm
- Digital speed display
- Moves right and left in interval operation for the drying process
- Timer function for time lapse controls
- Water-oil heating bath with integrated carry handles with safe handling
- Heats up quickly because of optimised bath volumes
- Cooling surface 1,200 cm²
- Push-off mechanism to loosen tightly fitting pistons
- Suitable for DIN EN 12697-3 (Asphalt test for hot asphalt)
RV 10 Digital: IKA®’s RV 10 digital is a combination of performance, reliability and versatility and offers users the precision of an accurate digitally controlled heating bath. The perfectly coordinated data transfer between the heating bath and the drive unit as well as the option of remote operation from a PC ensure results that can be reproduced any time. Same properties as RV 10 basic, with the following additional functions:
- Digital water/oil heating bath with integrated carrying handles, "stand alone" operation is possible
- Temperature control of the heating bath by a micro controller
- Digital temperature display
- Infrared interface for data transfer from the heating bath to the drive unit
- RS 232 interface for PC remote operation with labworldsoft®
- Timer function shuts off heating bath at completion of timer sequence
RV 10 Control: The flagship of the series, the RV 10 control offers all the functions of the RV 10 digital but goes one step further. Like the RV 10 digital, it can be precisely controlled via the RS 232 interface for remote PC operation with IKA®‘s labworldsoft® and is thus ideal for automatic operation - but that‘s not all. The control functions also enable completely automatic distillation both for volume based processes and full drying depending on the area of application. The expandable solvent library also allows you to incorporate new processes.
- Integrated vacuum controller with central display for automatic distilling and ramp programming
- Integrated solvent library, extendible by the user
- Distillation specific parameters stored for standard distillations
- Automatic transfer of measurements and distillation type with one key press
- Programmable volume controlled distillation
- Colour graphic display for safe and comfortable device operation
- Display of distillation curves
- Multiple languages
- Automatic ventilation after the end of the test
- Cooling water switched off automatically after the end of the test
- Integrated cooling water monitoring
- Heating bath safety management: automatic heating bath monitoring with distillation stop in case of temperature errors
- Heating bath switched off automatically after the end of the test
- USB interface
