Application Cases & Customer Feedback

Case

A leading pharmaceutical manufacturer, ABC Pharma Solutions, integrated the R-1050 Rotary Evaporator into their API (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient) purification workflow. Facing challenges in scaling up solvent removal for large batches (40-50L daily), the lab required a robust system to replace outdated, smaller units. The R-1050’s 50L capacity and adjustable rotation speed enabled seamless handling of viscous solvents, while its precision temperature control minimized thermal degradation of sensitive compounds. The vacuum-sealed design reduced processing time by 35%, and the stainless-steel construction withstood prolonged exposure to aggressive chemicals.

Customer Feedback

Dr. Emily Carter, Senior Chemist at Pharma Solutions, noted: “The R-1050 revolutionized our production efficiency. Its large capacity eliminated repetitive batch processing, and the safety features drastically reduced downtime. We’ve cut solvent recovery costs by 20% and achieved higher purity levels consistently. It’s now indispensable for our high-volume projects.” The company plans to deploy additional R-1050 units across their global facilities.

Maintenance Guide for R-1050 Rotary Evaporators

1. Regular Cleaning – Rinse glass components (flask, condenser) with distilled water and mild detergent after each use to prevent residue buildup.

2. Lubricate Joints – Apply high-vacuum grease to rotating seals and glass joints weekly to ensure smooth operation and prevent leaks.

3. Inspect Seals & Gaskets – Check vacuum seals monthly for wear or cracks; replace immediately to maintain optimal pressure performance.

4. Monitor Heating Bath – Drain and refill the bath fluid (e.g., silicone oil) quarterly, removing debris to avoid temperature fluctuations.

5. Calibration Checks – Validate temperature sensors and rotation speed settings annually to guarantee precision and safety compliance.
