Optimized Design and Operation for Efficient Pharmaceutical Distillation
The Manual Lift Rotary Evaporator for Pharmaceutical Use is a core component in laboratories where efficient and accurate solvent recovery is essential. In pharmaceutical environments where precise thermal conditions and vacuum stability are crucial, rotary evaporators must be engineered with both functional reliability and operational simplicity. The system provided by Equilrxnlab through its AKRE-2002 Handwheel Lift Rotary Evaporator exemplifies these requirements with an advanced yet manual-lift configuration ideal for controlled laboratory environments.
Rotary evaporators serve as a vital solution for concentrating solutions, extracting active pharmaceutical ingredients, and purifying intermediates. The Manual Lift Rotary Evaporator for Pharmaceutical Use specifically supports this workflow through its optimized mechanics, high-volume capacity, and consistent performance.
Technical Overview for Enhanced Distillation Workflows
Engineered with a rotary flask capacity of 20L, the system is capable of supporting medium-to-large batch extractions. This high-volume capability is matched by a 10L collection flask, enabling continuous and uninterrupted recovery of solvents. To facilitate evaporation under reduced pressure, the device maintains a vacuum pressure of 0.098 Mpa, significantly lowering boiling points and protecting thermally sensitive pharmaceutical compounds.
Equipped with a 3KW heating system, the evaporator offers rapid and even thermal distribution across a bath capacity of 40L, providing a reliable temperature range from room temperature to 99°C. Temperature precision is maintained at ±1°C, ensuring repeatability and minimizing thermal degradation of delicate compounds.
These detailed specifications are supported by the Equilrxnlab product catalog, which outlines the AKRE-2002’s place among a broader range of laboratory-scale and industrial evaporators designed for pharmaceutical use.
Ergonomics and Control via Manual Handwheel Lift
One of the key differentiators of the Manual Lift Rotary Evaporator for Pharmaceutical Use is its handwheel lift mechanism, allowing for controlled and precise manual adjustment of the evaporating flask’s height. This user-driven feature promotes safer flask removal, cleaning, and repositioning during long experimental runs. The handwheel system is ideal for laboratories that prioritize mechanical simplicity, reliability, and low maintenance over automation.
Its rotational speed range of 0–120 rpm, driven by a 120W motor, ensures smooth, consistent rotation essential for increasing surface area exposure of the solvent. This speed flexibility helps adapt the unit to a wide range of sample viscosities and solvent boiling points.
With a cooling area of 0.95㎡—comprised of two condensers (0.46 + 0.49㎡)—the device enhances condensation efficiency even under high-volume vapor output, reducing loss and improving recovery rates. This setup is well-suited for pharmaceutical applications requiring prolonged distillation or concentration procedures.
