Laboratory Evaporators

Laboratory Rotary Evaporators

"Intelligent Distillation“ proves the difference in separation of samples, in evaporation of solvents and that quality is no coincidence.

The rotary evaporators of our Hei-VAP series create new milestones within vacuum evaporation - a well-designed concept, unmatched tightness and uncompromising high quality.

The new seal system, speed-regulated vacuum pumps as well as the new generation of high-performance condensers ensure the highest solvent recovery, increase the lifetime of a rotary evaporator and vacuum pump and reduces residue in the ambient atmosphere. At the same time, you save up to 90 % of energy costs.

In short: Whatever you expect a rotary evaporator to be; the Hei-VAP series will fulfil these needs.

A variety of additional options makes the Heidolph rotary evaporator the best solution for your individual requirements. You reach up to 40 % higher evaporation rates with our new XL condensers and achieve purest results through our innovative seal system, which enables a stable evaporation process and therefore overcomes any pharmaceutical or chemical challenge.

Convince yourself from the quality, performance and reliability of our rotary evaporators, which we exclusively develop and manufacture in Germany only.
