The efficiency boost for your business
Optimizing processes and increasing throughput through automation
How much time do your employees spend taking care of your rotary evaporator? How many people are involved in the processing of solvents? Are you pushing the limits with your large-scale rotary evaporator? If you are looking for answers to these questions, a Hei-VAP³ Pro large-scale rotary evaporator system can help you optimize your internal operations and increase daily throughput.
Better instead of bigger - efficiency through innovation
Investing in more people and larger equipment is the obvious response when you reach your limits with existing resources. The well-thought-out concept of the Hei-VAP³ Pro large-scale rotary evaporator systems shows that there are alternatives. The automatic evaporation system breaks the existing limits in regards to the process volumes. Benefit from the ease of use of a compact 20-litre rotary evaporator and a possible process volume beyond the limits of a 50 or 100 litre system. Without the need of further resources or investments.
Three times more efficient
Everything in its place
During the development of the Hei-VOLUME Distimatic Pro automatic module, the requirements for order and structure in laboratories and production facilities were taken into account. Therefore, all components of the module are permanently installed on the Hei-VAP Industrial large-scale rotary evaporator. This results in a tidy appearance, guarantees safety and saves space. Despite the significant increase in performance, a Hei-VAP³ Pro system requires no more space than a manual 20 litre large scale rotary evaporator.
The right system for every application

How efficient are you?
Do you want to be more productive? You can recycle technical solvents overnight or recycle the solvent waste that occurs during the week over the weekend — your employees will find everything ready for use the next day and do not have to bother with the distillation process.
Does your company spend a lot of time processing large amounts of chromatography fractions? Free up time for more important activities than filling and emptying the rotary flask! Your employees only have to change the collecting and storage vessels for the fractions - this is possible at any time without interruption with the Hei-VAP³ Pro system during operation.

Frequently asked questions
The name of the Hei-VAP³ Pro systems is derived as follows:
The abbreviation 'Hei' refers to the manufacturing company Heidolph Instruments GmbH & Co KG.
The Hei-VAP series of Heidolph Instruments includes the product category of rotary evaporators. VAP is derived from the English word for rotary evaporator. The Hei-VAP³ Pro system includes the Hei-VAP Industrial large-scale rotary evaporator.
The superscript 3 refers to the comparison of a 24 hour operation to an 8 hour working day. The possibility of operating an evaporator system with Hei-VOLUME Distimatic Pro automatic module day and night unattended results in three times the daily operating time compared to supervised single-shift operation.
With the Hei-VOLUME Distimatic Pro module, viscosities of up to 1500 mPas can be obtained. When processing viscous media, use the optional heating tape for the residue line.
The Hei-VOLUME Distimatic Pro module is compatible with all Heidolph large-scale rotary evaporators of the Hei-VAP Industrial series.
The automatic modules Hei-VOLUME Distimatic Pro are only compatible with Heidolph rotary evaporators in order to guarantee the efficiency and the safety in the process with overpressure of the entire system.
No, media with solids content cannot be processed with the Hei-VOLUME Distimatic Pro automatic module.
The statement refers to the comparison of a 24 hour operation to an 8 hour working day. The possibility of operating an evaporator system with Hei-VOLUME Distimatic Pro automatic module day and night unattended results in three times the daily operating time compared to supervised single-shift operation. The name of the Hei-VAP³ packages is derived from this.
In fact the real volume, which can be processed due to the automated filling and drainage and the continuous distillation process, can exceed the factor 3.
Due to the automated feed of only a small amount of medium in the rotary flask, the conditions in the overall system are constant in terms of the parameters - temperature and vacuum. This eliminates long heating times due to the introduction of new medium. The stability of the level in the rotary flask ensures that there is no need to readjust the vacuum value in manual operation to maintain a high-performance evaporation process.
It also eliminates the time normally spent manually changing or draining the rotary flasks and receiving flasks.
All these factors contribute to the fact that the evaporation rates of an automated system are significantly higher than those of a manual solution.
Triple your throughput!
Processing more than three times as much without spending more time and attention? The powerful Hei-VAP³ Pro large-scale rotary evaporator systems from Heidolph Instruments make it possible.
Hei-VAP³ Pro - this stands for the combination of the large-scale rotary evaporator Hei-VAP Industrial and the new Hei-VOLUME Distimatic Pro automatic module. The system provides you with an intuitive, efficient and economical solution to process high volumes automatically. All-round gain in comfort and efficiency.
