HEIDOLPH
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about HEIDOLPH from 3G Electric.
What are the key specifications of Heidolph rotary evaporator vacuum pumps?
Heidolph rotary evaporator vacuum pumps are available in valve-regulated and RPM-regulated types. Suction capacities range from 0.75 to 2.0 cu m/h, with maximum vacuum pressures from 2 to 12 mbar. Models vary in motor stages (1 or 2) and overall dimensions. For example, the valve-regulated pump with 2.0 cu m/h can support up to three rotary evaporators simultaneously. Chemical-resistant models are available for use with aggressive solvents. These pumps are designed for controlled vacuum in solvent removal and concentration processes.
What capacities and features are available in Heidolph manual lift rotary evaporators?
Heidolph manual lift rotary evaporators are offered with capacities such as 5 L. They feature speed ranges from 10 to 280 RPM and heating capacities up to 1,300 W. Manual height adjustment allows precise positioning of the evaporating flask. Some models include LED ring lights with pictograms for status indication and G1 diagonal glassware. These evaporators are suitable for batch distillation, concentration, and solvent recovery. Accessories such as vacuum controllers and different glassware configurations are available to adapt the system to specific applications.
How do I select the right Heidolph vacuum pump for my rotary evaporator?
Selection depends on the solvent boiling point, required vacuum level, and number of evaporators. For low or medium boiling point solvents, RPM-regulated pumps with suction capacities of 1.0 to 1.7 cu m/h and maximum vacuum pressures of 2 to 12 mbar are recommended. Valve-regulated pumps are suitable for higher boiling points and can support multiple evaporators; for instance, a 2.0 cu m/h model can operate up to three units. Chemical-resistant models are available for corrosive vapors. Consider overall dimensions for space constraints and motor stages for performance.
What safety and quality standards do Heidolph laboratory equipment meet?
Heidolph laboratory equipment is designed and manufactured in Germany, adhering to relevant European standards. Many products carry CE markings, indicating compliance with applicable EU directives for safety, electromagnetic compatibility, and environmental protection. Specific models may also meet additional standards for laboratory equipment. For detailed compliance information, refer to the product datasheets or contact 3G Electric for documentation. Heidolph equipment is constructed with chemical-resistant materials and features such as overheat protection and robust enclosures to ensure safe operation in laboratory environments.
Can Heidolph rotary evaporators be used for industrial-scale applications?
Heidolph rotary evaporators are primarily designed for laboratory-scale applications, with capacities up to 20 L. They are used in pilot plants and small-scale production for tasks such as solvent recovery, distillation, and concentration. For larger volumes, multiple units can be operated in parallel or scaled-up systems may be required. The equipment is suitable for continuous operation in industrial laboratories, provided that maintenance schedules and operating parameters are followed. 3G Electric can supply Heidolph evaporators and accessories for industrial research and development settings.
What support does 3G Electric provide for Heidolph products?
