Australian vacuum the proud distributer of ecodyst

Ecodyst® has created the next generation of table-top and industrial-scale high-speed evaporators for use in laboratory and commercial settings. Using a disruptive refrigerated cooling technology, our evaporators provide eco-friendly and efficient self-cooling metal or Teflon-coated condensers that set new standards for rotary evaporation, distillation, purification, and winterization.

All models use a revolutionary tankless cooling technology that is continuously available, provides sustainable temperature control, increases productivity, allows for instrumentation with a reduced footprint, and has low associated operating costs.

The Ecochyll EcoDyst rotary evaporation and distillation system is a game changer for evaporation. Australian vacuum is the scientific laboratory distributor.

Supplying all of Australia- Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide.

Simply turn on any of EcoDyst’s patented line of high-speed evaporators and within one minute you will achieve -40ºC. This temperature can be varied and sustained for extended periods of time, and eliminates wasted water, or the need to pay for, collect, or monitor dry ice, freeing chemists to focus on more complex tasks. EcoDyst’s high-speed evaporators work faster and at a higher capacity than traditional rotary evaporators, so scientists and botanists can increase their productivity and ability to process large volumes. With an energy savings of 80% over traditional rotovaps, and the ability to customize and adapt each EcoDyst high-speed evaporator to existing equipment, cost savings and efficiencies are attainable and sustainable. 

Evaporation is a process which separates a liquid from a solid by vaporization or boiling. Evaporation concentrates a solution of a solute and a solvent, usually water, creating a more viscous liquid product. It is often used in food processing, pharmaceuticals, and chemical industries to create liquid concentrates.

Evaporation differs from drying and dehydration as the desired product is a liquid rather than a solid. It differs from distillation as the remaining solution, rather than the condensed evaporate, is the valuable product. Evaporation can either be carried out in a batch process or a continuous process, which this blog will be focusing on.

Every evaporator is made up of two sections, a heating section called a steam chest and a vapor/liquid separation section. Both sections are usually inside a single vessel however the heating section can also be external.

Liquids have a boiling and evaporation point based on their composition and this means that if a solution has more than one liquid within it, each element will evaporate at different points. Using an evaporation system, chemists are able to extract specific compounds from blends by slowly increasing the temperature to set points using rotovaps.

A continuous evaporation is a version of regular, multi-stage evaporation processing which has a continuous feed and product stream with concentrations remaining constant. For a successful, continuous evaporation to be maintained, all the inner components should be able to function interdependently. Continuous evaporation units must be able to heat, separate, cool, and store substances without creating unnecessary waste or overusing critical energy source 

Continuous evaporations are used in a broad range of applications across a variety of research areas for solvent recovery. Evaporation is the best-suited method of extraction for compounds which have a high value.

One area where continuous evaporation systems are invaluable for elemental extraction is within the field of cannabinoid purification. Cannabis is made up of many compounds which are of interest to researchers. Each of these elements has a differing method of action and extraction and purification of cannabinoids such as cannabidiol (CBD) is critical for the success of a product and its abilities to meet regulations.

EcoDyst has been at the forefront of innovation for evaporators, with our table-top and industrial-scale high-speed evaporators which are used in laboratories and commercial settings. EcoDyst’s system employs a disruptive refrigerated cooling technology and offer an eco-friendly, efficient self-cooling metal or Teflon-coated condenser.

All of EcoDyst continuous evaporator units are made up of continuous inlet feed valves for autonomous operation without interruption. Our continuous evaporation units have higher levels of activity than batch evaporation systems, with inactive intervals between processes and periods of downtime are eliminated as there is no need for stopping and starting.

Continuous evaporation systems can achieve prolonged processing temperatures in their heating and cooling sections due to the ongoing nature of the operation. This means that requisite thermal levels can be regulated at the optimum level for highly efficient heat transfer temperatures.
