100L Rotary Evaporator | Industrial Rotovap for Solvent Recovery | Goldleaf Scientific

The Goldleaf Scientific Insta-Vap™ 100L Rotary Evaporator is a high-capacity system designed for solvent recovery, concentration, distillation, pilot-scale processing, and production applications.

Built with 3.3 borosilicate glass, stainless-steel construction, PTFE sealing, automatic lift, continuous feed and collection, digital controls, and a dedicated 100L flask handling system, it provides the capacity of a production-scale evaporator while maintaining the process visibility and chemical resistance of glass equipment.

The Insta Vap-100L platform includes a 100L evaporation flask, 50L receiving flask, 0–110 RPM variable-speed drive, automatic lifting, continuous feed/collection, and a large main and secondary condenser arrangement.

High-Capacity Heating and Condensation

The 100L system is designed for high-throughput evaporation with a 12 kW standard heating bath, with up to 21 kW available for operation at the maximum 200°C bath temperature. 

A large vertical primary condenser and secondary condenser provide substantial condensation area while retaining full process visibility through borosilicate glass.  

Optional Shell-and-Tube Condenser

For applications requiring higher distillation rates, lower vapor-side pressure drop, increased durability, easier cleaning, or specialized chemical compatibility, Goldleaf can offer an optional shell-and-tube condenser system.

Potential advantages include:

• lower vapor-side pressure drop
• high condensation capacity
• large open vapor passages
• easier cleaning and solvent flushing
• replaceable or serviceable tube bundles
• alternative tube materials for chemical compatibility

Possible tube materials include 316L stainless steel, Hastelloy, titanium, silicon carbide, or other application-specific materials.

A borosilicate glass shell with metallic or ceramic tubes can also be considered to retain visual observation of the condensation process.

Continuous Processing

The Insta-Vap 100L includes continuous feed and continuous collection capability, reducing the need to repeatedly stop the process, break vacuum, and restart during longer runs. 

This makes it well suited for:

• solvent recovery
• ethanol recovery
• pharmaceutical processing
• chemical production
• botanical extraction
• pilot-scale manufacturing
• process development
• concentration and purification

Flask Handling System

A dedicated 100L evaporation flask handling system assists with installation, removal, positioning, cleaning, and service of the large glass vessel.

The separate support and lifting frame reduces manual handling of the 100L flask and helps lower the risk of damage during changeover or maintenance.
