Rocket 4D Evaporation System
04-7848 Issue 2-4 August 2014 13
Insert a lifting handle into each of the two
lifting points to prepare the evaporation
vessel for lifting out of the Rocket 4D.
Lifting handle release button
Rotate the vessel so the drain spout is at the
back of the evaporation chamber.
Keep fingers and thumbs away from the
lifting handle release buttons and lift the
evaporation vessel clear of the hub, tilt
towards the back of the evaporator and lift
out of the evaporator.
Avoid solvent contact with the inner lid seal
wherever possible. If necessary, remove the
lid seal from the vessel before lifting.
Place the vessel on the bench (or optional
pouring stand) and press the release buttons
to remove the lifting handles.
Tilt the evaporation vessel to elevate the
pouring spout above the liquid level before
removing the stopper from the spout; then
pour the contents from the vessel.
If required, a hose-tail connector may be
fitted to the pouring spout.
Alternatively (with the inner lid seal
removed) pour the contents over the rim of
the evaporation vessel.
Refit the inner lid seal only after the
evaporation vessel has been cleaned.
Dried product may be removed from the
evaporation vessel using a plastic spatula.
Note: The material of the evaporation
vessel is 316 stainless steel. The
compatibility and suitability of samples for
drying in a stainless steel vessel, from the
point of view of corrosion of the vessel and
the potential for metal contamination of the
sample, should be evaluated.
Note: At the end of an evaporation
process, the volume of liquid in the
evaporation vessel should be manageable
and operation of lifting the vessel out of the
evaporator, straight forward. If there is
excess liquid in the vessel, siphon it off or
select a batch mode method and
evaporate the solvent from the vessel. Do
not attempt to lift the vessel with a large
volume of liquid in it.
