2.3 Authorized Use
The rotary evaporator has been designed for use in techni-
cal laboratories and in production. It is authorized for use in
applica tions that work with the evaporation and condensation
of solvents.
It is used for:
• Evaporation of solvents and suspensions
• Drying of powders and granulates
• Re-crystallization
• Reactions under reflux
• Synthesis and Cleaning of refined chemicals
• Recycling and concentration of solvents
The authorized use of the Rotavapor also includes its care,
upkeep, and careful handling in accordance with the provi-
sions in this Operating Manual.
2.4 Unauthorized Use
Any use other than those indicated above, and any use that
is not in conformity with the Technical Data is considered to
be misuse. The operator himself bears sole responsibility for
all damage or injuries arising from any such use.
The following applications in particular are strictly forbidden:
• The production and processing of materials that can
cause spontaneous reactions, e.g., explosives;
• Working without the evaporation flask being immersed
in the water bath (risk of breakage);
• The drying of hard, brittle materials (e.g., stones, soil sam-
ples) that might cause damage to the receiving flask;
• Sudden shock-cooling of the evaporating flask.
