BUCHI Corporation launches a new line of recirculating chillers

“Reduced energy consumption and heat emission through full evaporation system integration.”

October 2010 - Buchi, a leading provider of integrated lab-scale evaporation solutions and robust industrial evaporation equipment is proud to announce the launch of an all-new range of recirculating chillers designed to work seamlessly with a rotary evaporator and vacuum controller.

The F-series chillers provide the final step to a fully integrated evaporation or distillation process. This new line of chillers, which connect to the rotary evaporator and can be controlled from the evaporation system’s vacuum controller, includes:

  • F-100 – an entry level model which offers an attractive alternative to chilling with tap water
  • F-105 – smart control through vacuum controller with a cooling capacity of 500W at 15oC for use with a single rotary evaporator
  • F-108 – smart control through vacuum controller over a range of -10oC to +25oC with a cooling capacity of 800W at 15oC
  • F-114 – smart control through vacuum controller over a range of -10oC to +25oC with a cooling capacity of 1400W at 15oC
  • F-125 – a powerful industrial chiller with a cooling capacity of 2500W at 15oC and an integrated trolley for use with the Rotavapor® R-220 SE industrial rotary evaporator

“Recirculating chillers that are not fully integrated with the entire evaporation system waste a lot of energy and generate heat between the distillation runs because they do not shut off automatically,” remarked Michael Stern, Director of Marketing at BUCHI Corporation. “Buchi’s new F-series chillers actively save energy and reduce heat emissions when integrated with Buchi rotary evaporators and Buchi vacuum controllers“, he added.

In addition to their use with rotary evaporators, these new chillers are well suited for cooling applications with Buchi’s parallel evaporation, solvent extraction, and automated Kjeldahl products.

For over 50 years, Buchi has been known as the market leader, inventor and innovator of lab instruments based on Evaporation and Vacuum technologies, and as the supplier of the Rotavapor® products worldwide. In addition, BUCHI Corporation is a proven North American provider of spray dryers for pharmaceutical and food agglomeration and microencapsulation, Kjeldahl and solvent extraction equipment for environmental and food analysis, NIR spectroscopy instruments for pharmaceutical and food Quality Control, modular flash chromatography systems, and other related laboratory equipment. Headquartered in New Castle, Delaware, BUCHI Corporation is an affiliate of BUCHI Labortechnik AG (Flawil, Switzerland).
