Baffles
For feed enabled Rocket 4D evaporators, two types of baffle are supplied. To ensure even
distribution of liquid around the evaporation vessel, it is important the correct baffle is used.
Batch baffles
Feed baffle
Two
batch baffles
are supplied for use when
operating the Rocket 4D in batch mode.
These must be fitted to the hub of the
evaporation vessel.
Fit one baffle and make sure it locks into
place before fitting the second baffle. Check
the second baffle also locks into place.
Batch baffles
To remove the batch mode baffles, push
inwards towards the hub and lift away from
the vessel.
For feed enabled systems, a single
feed baffle
is supplied for use when
operating the Rocket 4D in feed mode.
The feed baffle is not fitted or secured to
the vessel; it is placed loosely and is
sufficient to ensure even distribution of the
small volumes of product solution in the
vessel during feed mode operation.
The feed mode baffle may also be used for
smaller batch volumes (two litres or less)
and may yield better results when using
re-dissolve
.
The batch baffles must be removed from
the vessel before inserting the feed baffle.
Feed baffle
The feed baffle can be removed from the
evaporation vessel using a magnet (not
supplied).
Note:
Make sure the correct baffle is fitted
for the method being used, do not operate
the Rocket 4D with batch baffles and a
feed baffle at the same time.
