Description
Control-Box is an accessory module designed for straightforward retrofitting of the Control function on Hei-VAP Expert and Hei-VAP Ultimate rotary evaporators. It enables convenient actuation and coordination of connected peripheral equipment, including vacuum systems and the Hei-CHILL recirculating chiller. Laboratories that already operate compatible Hei-VAP platforms can expand automation and process control without replacing the complete evaporator setup. Integration supports more reproducible evaporation workflows by linking vacuum and cooling parameters through a dedicated control interface. From manufacturer Heidolph, the unit is intended as a targeted upgrade path for Expert and Ultimate configurations used in research, development and routine solvent removal. The compact accessory is supplied as one piece and fits within typical laboratory evaporator installations where coordinated peripheral control is required. With a net weight of 1,640 kg and a packaged gross weight of 2,485 kg, it is a practical add-on for existing Hei-VAP workstations. Users gain a clear route to Control-level functionality and peripheral management on instruments that were not originally equipped with this capability.

Questions about Control-Box
What is this article?
Control-Box is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Heidolph for laboratory use. It sits in Rotary evaporators, inside Pumps, vacuum & evaporation, in Lab instruments.
A rotary evaporator spins a flask under vacuum so solvent boils off a sample at a modest temperature. The flask size, the condenser type and the vacuum the seal can hold are the specification. Bumping is a flask that was too full or a vacuum that arrived too fast.
A vacuum pump lowers the pressure above a liquid so it boils at a lower temperature. That is the point of a rotary evaporator: solvent leaves a sample without cooking it. A diaphragm pump or a rotary-vane pump is chosen by the vacuum it reaches and by whether solvent vapour will destroy it. A peristaltic pump moves liquid by squeezing a tube, so the liquid touches only the tube. A barrel pump transfers a larger volume from a drum. The glassware on the evaporator is indexed under ISO laboratory glassware. Solvent identity is on PubChem.
