Swiss firm upgrades Rotovapor R-220 with the latest technology and focuses on safety and easy handling

Buechi Labortechnik of Switzerland has upgraded the 20-litre Rotavapor R-220 after 10 years on the market.

The new Rotavapor R-220 SE (Second Edition) focuses on safety and easy handling and incorporates the latest technology.

The patented flask fixation and the EasyClamp enable a fast and safe installation of the glass parts and the clearly arranged design of the control panels reduces the risk of operating errors, the company says.

An optional shield also protects the instrument in rough environments.

Further new features include a USB module that enables the process data to be saved on a memory stick and a level sensor that monitors the receiving flask so that the instrument is stopped as soon as the flask is full. In addition, USB and RS485 interfaces provide for the control of system components such as a vacuum pump or recirculating chiller.

The large and bright 6in display provides all information about the distillation process. The large high-contrast digits indicating the bath-, vapour- and cooling temperature, as well as the rotation speed, are clearly visible, also from a distance.

An integrated vacuum controller guarantees reproducible and stable conditions and the wide choice of 7 different glass configurations enable the instrument to be adapted for almost any application.
