This Buchi R-50 EX is a laboratory rotary evaporator, a type of equipment also commonly referred to as a rotovap, used in scientific and industrial settings to remove solvents from samples through gentle, controlled evaporation under rotation. Buchi is a well-established Swiss manufacturer with a long-standing reputation in laboratory instrumentation, particularly in the fields of evaporation, extraction, filtration, and spray drying, serving pharmaceutical, chemical, food, and research industries worldwide.
This unit is offered in used condition and is located in Barneveld, Netherlands. It is mounted on a wheeled frame, giving it a footprint of 1.5 by 0.85 metres and a total installed height of 2.5 metres, making it a substantial, floor-standing system that can nonetheless be repositioned as needed.
The evaporating flask capacity is 50 litres, and the wetted components are constructed from glass. The bath uses a manual hydraulic lifting mechanism to raise and lower the flask into the heating bath. The temperature range runs from 40 °C to 75 °C, and the rotation speed is variable between 5 and 100 rpm, allowing precise control over evaporation conditions. The drive motor draws 240 watts and the unit is wired for 380-volt supply. Notably, the system is ATEX compatible, meaning it is rated for use in potentially explosive atmospheres, an important consideration when working with flammable solvents.
The listing includes a comprehensive set of glassware: three glass bowls including the main 50-litre bowl, two glass cooling condensers each with a surface area of 1.6 m², and various additional glass components. This represents a well-equipped package ready for evaporation work at pilot or production scale.
