a
Evaporation area
The solvent is heated by means of a heating bath The turbulent mixing inside the rotating
evaporating flask results in an increased evaporation rate
The drive unit offers a wide range of rotational speeds to perfectly match different evaporation
tasks It also leads to an even mixing of the sample, thus preventing stationary overheating in
the flask When drying powders or pasty materials, the rotation ensures smooth and
thorough drying
b
Cooling area
The solvent vapor quickly enters the condenser Here, the energy in the solvent vapor is
transferred to the cooling medium (mostly water), so that the solvent condenses
c
Receiving flask
The receiving flask collects the condensed solvent
