Rotary evaporators are typically used to remove solvents following chemical reactions. Combined with gentle heat from the evaporator bath, controlled vacuum is used to accelerate distillation. Efficient solvent distillation requires vacuum balanced to achieve sufficient pressure reduction yet not overrunning the condensing capabilities of your rotovap.
Welch Vacuum offers a wide range of vacuum pumps and systems suitable for different flask sizes, allowing you to achieve ultimate vacuum levels of 75 to 1 mbar (56.3 to 0.75 torr), and flow rates of up to 138 l/min (4.87 cfm) in your rotary evaporators. Our portfolio also includes a variety of manual and electronic vacuum regulation options, including digital controllers to ensure reliable results.
Dry Fast Chemical Duty Pumps for Rotary Evaporators
- Built-in tuneable vacuum to control evaporation rate
- Three vacuum levels to meet your needs
- Rugged chemical duty construction to resist harsh vapors
DryFast PTFE dry vacuum pumps for rotary evaporators include essential features to ensure efficient rotary evaporation. The DRYFAST tunable vacuum adjustment allows the user to optimize the vacuum for the solvent being evaporated - see Application Note below. The tunable vacuum adjustment can also be used to stop accidental bumping/foaming.
Use tunable vacuum adjustment to increase vacuum until bubbles form in the evaporation flask “ then back off slight-ly. Decrease vacuum using tunable adjustment to eliminate bumping in the evaporation flask.
Use 9 torr (12 mbar) DRYFAST models for common solvent evaporations. DryFast Ultra models offer 2 torr (2.7 mbar) ultimate vacuum to strip DMF fast along with other high boiling point and low boiling point solvents.
The rugged low maintenance oil free pumps have PTFE heads, perfluoroelastomer valves, and fluorinated plastic wetted surfaces, making DRYFAST a durable choice for solvent, acidic and basic vapors.
Model 2014 Collegiate Single stage PTFE diaphragm pump with excellent flow for evaporations of solvents with atmospheric boiling points to 80 C. Maximum vacuum is 40 torr(53 mbar), 35 l/min. Strip ethanol at 35C
Models 2034 / 2044 Research Two stage PTFE diaphragm pumps provide tunable vacuum to 9 torr(12 mbar) “ perfect for evaporation of solvents with atmospheric boiling points to 110 C. Select Model 2044 (35 l/min) for evaporations up to 10 L flask. Strip DMF at 55C, toluene at 35C.

Self Cleaning Dry Vacuum Systemsâ„¢ for Rotary Evaporators
The Self-Cleaning air purge cycle at the conclusion of each run maintains consistent performance and extends service intervals. This purge feature eliminates condensates in the pump™s second stage and removes volatile substances before they can solidify. This purge resets the pump diaphragms to dry startup condition, enabling consistent solvent stripping rates run after run. Solidified substances can also be abrasive to the diaphragm, impairing performance and shortening diaphragm life.
- Anti-bumping / foaming feature with controlled evaporation rate
- Rugged corrosion resistant PTFE construction
- Self-cleaning for long life and repeatable performance
Self-Cleaning Dry Vacuum Systemsâ„¢ are complete vacuum solutions for rotary evaporation. All systems feature rugged corrosion resistant PTFE diaphragm pumps for low maintenance and long life. Optimize each solvent evaporation using handy vacuum adjustment.
Also included with all models:
- Digital or analog vacuum read-out
- Inlet and outlet traps to protect the pump and exhaust line from liquids
- Prominent emergency "bump stop" switch for bumping/foaming control
- Automatic self-cleaning purge at shutdown
The self-cleaning feature and vacuum control technology contribute to Self Cleaning Systems™ long diaphragm life. All models are 35 l/min at 60Hz (29 l/min. at 50Hz).
