Rotary Evaporator
for stress relief.
•
CAUTION! Avoid peroxide formation. Organic
peroxides can accumulate in distillation and exhaust
residues and explode while decomposing!
•
Keep liquids that tend to form organic peroxides away
from light, in particular from UV rays and check them
prior to distillation and exhaust for the presence of
peroxides. Any existing peroxides must be eliminated.
Many organic compounds are prone to the formation
of peroxides e.g. dekalin, diethyl ether, dioxane,
tetrahydrofuran, as well as unsaturated hydrocarbons,
such as tetralin, diene, cumene and aldehydes, ketones
and solutions of these substances.
•
DANGER OF BURNING! The heating bath,
tempering medium, evaporator piston and glass
assembly can become hot during operation and remain
so for a long time afterwards! Let the components cool
off before continuing work with the device.
•
ATTENTION! Avoid delayed boiling! Never heat the
evaporating flask in the heating bath without switching
on the rotary drive!Sudden foaming or exhaust gases
indicate that flask content is beginning to decompose.
Switch off heating immediately. Use the lifting
mechanism to lift the evaporator piston out of the
heating bath. Evacuate the danger zone and warn those
in the surrounding area!
•
When the device is switched off or the power supply
disconnected, the internal safety lift removes the
evaporator piston from the heating bath.
•
CAUTION! Never operate the device when the
evaporator piston is rotating and the lift is raised.
Always lower the evaporator piston into the heating
bath first before starting the rotation drive. Otherwise
hot tempering medium may be sprayed out!
•
Set the speed of the drive so no tempering medium is
sprayed out as a result of the evaporator piston rotating
in the heating bath. If necessary reduce the speed.
•
Do not touch rotating parts during operation.
•
Imbalance may result in uncontrolled resonance
behaviour of the device or assembly. Glass apparatus
may be damaged or destroyed. In the event of
unbalance or unusual noises, switch off the appliance
immediately or reduce the speed.
•
The appliance does not start up again automatically
following a cut in the power supply.
•
The device is only disconnected from the power
