Assembling the BUCHI distillation system
In order to use the Rotavapor® R-300 to best effect, we recommend that it is used to-
gether with the following equipment:
The F-3xx is a recirculating chiller with a sealed circulation system. It is available in
various capacity ratings.
The Interface I-300/I-300 Pro together with the VacuBox can be used to control and
monitor the vacuum. It can control the Rotavapor, the Vacuum Pump V-300 and the
Recirculating Chiller F-3xx and maintain a set constant pressure.
The Vacuum Pump V-300 is a diaphragm pump designed for evacuating laboratory
apparatus. It can be operated either as a standalone device or combined with optional
accessories such as an interface unit and a secondary cold trap to form a complete
vacuum system. The laboratory equipment to be evacuated is connected to the vac-
uum pump and the VacuBox by means of vacuum tubing. See Overview: setting up
vacuum tubing connections
Data communication between the laboratory equipment takes place via the communi-
cation ports. See Chapter 5.17.2 "Connecting communication cables to the Rotava-
por", page 44.
The coolant circulates around the distillation system through a separate circulation
system. See Overview: setting up coolant tubing connections.
