ROTAVAPOR

Rotary evaporator to separate binders from a solvent, minimizing changes in asphalt properties.

The test is performed by distilling the residue of the solvent and asphalt solution. The rotating distillation flask is partially immersed in a heated oil bath and the solution is subjected to high vacuum, with fine pressure regulation (up to ± 0.1 kPa) according to EN 12697-3.

The Rotary Evaporation Device is essentially composed of:

  • 1000ml capacity distillation flask
  • Variable speed motor, (suitable for rotating the flask at an adjustable speed from 10 to 280 rpm)
  • Solvent recovery flask, 1000 ml capacity; Condenser, heated oil bath.

The angle of the rotating/distillation flask is 15°.

The instrument is supplied complete with glass tube with three-way valve and transparent flexible hose for solution inlet.

The rotary apparatus requires a vacuum pump and a vacuum regulation system (see accessories).

  • Power supply: 230V 1ph 50-60Hz
  • Dimensions: 740x430x845(h) mm
  • Weight: 15 kg aprox.
