The Hei-VAP series of rotary evaporators were designed in close association with users. Heidolph has designed the Hei-VAP range of rotary evaporators with a focus on the essentials: astute details with an emphasis on functions and features to ease daily laboratory work.
Multipurpose integrations with glassware and widespread accessories provide the right kind of configuration for all applications. Ideally matched peripherals complete the rotary evaporators—resulting in comprehensive systems, all from a single source.
During a personal consultation, Heidolph addressed individual needs from the most ideal configuration to process optimization by its application specialists—also on a special request on site.

Rotary Evaporators—Product Advantages
Leading Safety Standards
- Digital displays enable constant tracking of the current values and also protect the electronics consistently against dust and dripping water, thanks to protection class IP 42.
- All Hei-VAP rotary evaporators include a double-wall, ergonomic handles, an integrated spout and a safety heating bath with dry running and overheating protection.
- The standby button halts all functions and, when a motor lift model is used, lifts out the evaporating flask from the heating bath.
- The knobs have a locking function that prevents accidental adjustment of the values
- Individual knobs with intuitive LED ring light system enable visual process control as well as direct intervention in the evaporation process at all times.
- Universal heating bath available for all flask sizes of up to 5 L (retooling is not needed). The rugged metal connection to the base of the device enables variable distances for the heating bath up to 200 mm without the need for tilting.
- Extra safety from one source—such as the transparent plastic coating of the glassware, guard hood (implosion protection), guard shield and IQ-OQ certification and documentation.
- To prevent corrosion and short circuits methodically, the cable connections of the heating bath and the operating panel conform to the high protection class IP 67.
- Residual heat indicator—when the function is in standby mode and is deactivated, flashing and the display of the remaining heat alert about the risk of burns (>50°C)
Superior Ease of Use
- The multipurpose operating concept fulfills all the needs with touch or digital displays.
- All models are supplied with a motor or hand lift.
- FDA-compliant materials for all passive and active media-contacting components allow a wider range of studies and applications at a maximum level.
- The removable panel with an optional holding device and extension cable enables easy and rapid operation even beyond the closed-fume hoods.
- The patented flask clamp Easy-Clip makes it easy to attach and change the evaporating flask. The mechanism prevents glass breakage by gently separating the ground glass joints.
- The automatic module Distimatic, provided as an option, allows fully automatic distillation in a continuous and unattended operation.
- The ground-free condenser design ensures easy ventilation—the ventilation cap with threaded connection and PTFE inlay prevents stuck glass, without any sign of grease. A venting valve with a refill function is also provided as an option.
- Offers intuitive operation, since all settings are centrally configured on the operating panel. Along with the Control-Box, the panel can also be utilized as the central control unit to control the vacuum and also the Hei-CHILL recirculation chiller.
- Easy release allows independent adjustment of the angle of inclination from 20° to 80°, while the height stop feature restricts the immersion depth by up to 155 mm
Reduced Cost of Ownership
- Ground-free condenser design along with grease-free threaded connections
- No needless additional costs—the patented clamping sleeve effectively avoids the vapor tube from getting wedged in the drive
- Provides even more efficiency with up to 40% higher evaporation rates—the smart design of the XL condenser offers 57% more cooling surface at virtually the same height as the earlier versions of standard vertical condensers
- The exclusive tightness of the vacuum system results in decreased energy costs, shorter process times and the purest results
- With the integrated screw thread of the patented Easy-Clip, wedged evaporating flasks can be removed easily and safely
- Media-contacting plastic components, like the clamping sleeve on the vapor tube and the screw connection for placing the condenser, are made of highly resistant PPS to ensure an extended lifespan
- The universal heating bath is well suited for all flasks of up to 5 L, without the extra costs needed for retrofitting
- The particularly durable and highly resistant PTFE vacuum seals achieve optimal tightness and decrease the associated costs for spare parts in the long run
- Several spare and wear parts of the current series are backward- and forward-compatible with previous models
- A quality that pays off—corrosion-free die-cast housings with maintenance-free motors and condensation-repellent varnish ensure a continuous and unlimited operation and an extended lifespan with considerably lower maintenance costs
