Chillers, Vacuum Pumps & Accessories

Heidolph Hei-CHILL Pro Range
Vacuum pumps
RPM regulated pumps
Heidolph Hei Van Evaporating flasks

Hei-CHILL Pro Chillers

The perfect add-on available with cooling capacities of 400, 700 or 1100 W.

  • Sustainable and future-proven technology – Natural refrigerants to reduce the global warming potential to nearly zero.
  • Powerful and efficient – High cooling capacity for highest evaporation rates and fast recovery times
  • Multiple technologies for different requirements and tasks – Most powerful lab Peltier Chiller without refrigerants and highly accurate and dynamic temperature regulation

Valve-Regulated Vacuum Pumps

Standard vacuum pumps can be controlled manually or via valve operated vacuum controller.

  • All components which come in contact with media are built from chemically resistant fluoropolymer
  • The durable PTFE design guarantees an superior diaphragm lifespan
  • The direct pump drive (without belt) is exceptionally quiet, creates a very low vibrational environment and reduces the need of wear and tear parts to a minimum

RPM-Regulated Vacuum Pumps

Controllable vacuum pumps for digital regulation of the vacuum via operation panel or directly at the unit.

  • Speed adjustment stops completely if vacuum is reached and runs intermittently at very low speed to hold vacuum constant
  • Significant noise and vibration reduction due to periods of non-operation
  • Most precise vacuum level at all times

Why you dont need a bigger rotary evaporator - On Demand
Why you don’t need a bigger rotary evaporator

Join Ravi and Jurgen to learn how the Heidolph Distimatic Pro automates rotary evaporation processes on industrial scale (>20 L), completely eliminating the need for users to manually refill and empty flasks, for complete automated evaporation. And see how the new Distimatic Pro and Reactor-Ready Pilot work in tandem for automated operation.
