50 l Rotary Evaporator for Large Scale Solvent Recovery
/in News /by AZoLarge-scale solvent recovery can prove a difficult, inefficient challenge that takes a lot of time and energy. 50 l rotary evaporators from Ecodyst are a brilliant means of mitigating these issues. This blog post will examine why 50 l rotary evaporators are so beneficial and outline some of their key attributes. What is a 50 […]
A Rough Guide to Continuous Cooling
/in News /by AZoContinuous cooling is a key benefit of the Ecodyst rotary evaporator range. Rotary evaporators work to gently and efficiently remove solvents from a range of samples. Samples are heated and their boiling points are minimized concurrently using a vacuum that is induced by the rotary evaporator. The boiling point decreases as the pressure reduces and […]
The Sustainable Rotary Evaporator from Ecodyst
/in News /by AZoRotary evaporators (sometimes called rotovaps) are a feature of many chemistry laboratories. Whilst new models of rotary evaporators are developed year by year, there has not been a significant change in the way they operate since their invention in the 1950s. However, recently, Ecodyst has pioneered revolutionary rotary evaporator technology which minimizes costs and environmental […]
What is Distillation? Principles and Applications
/in News /by AZoDistillation is a technique for the separation of mixtures based on differences in the conditions necessary to alter the phase of components in the mixture. This is a widely used technique in which mixtures of liquids are heated to mean components which have different boiling points into the gas phase. This gas is then condensed […]
Ethanol Removal in Cannabis Applications
/in News /by AZoExtracting cannabinoids and other compounds from raw cannabis can be done using a range of techniques. The most popular techniques are extraction using CO2, ethanol or a hydrocarbon such as butane. The selection of one of these techniques is based on a range of factors such as the final application of the product (such as […]
The Modern Rotary Evaporators: Ecochyll X1 and Hydrogen
/in News /by AZoRotary evaporators, also known as rotovaps, are a common sight in most chemistry labs. Perhaps surprisingly, this familiar piece of equipment hasn’t changed much since it was first invented in the 1950s. Even though new models of rotary evaporators are developed each year by major manufacturers, the basic principles of operation have remained the same. […]
Winterization of Oils to Remove Fats and Waxes
/in News /by AZoCannabis and hemp are botanically complex, containing a rich assortment of carbohydrates, insoluble fibres, proteins, chemicals, and vitamins. Among the most valuable constituents of the Cannabis sativa and indica plant species are—of course—cannabinoids like cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Extracting these compounds from the raw plant material and purifying it into a high-purity end-product requires […]
High Quality Budget Rotary Evaporator from Ecodyst
/in News /by AZoRotary evaporator users will know that whilst evaporation via rotary evaporator is an efficient, gentle process that can remove solvents from a wide range of sample types, the equipment can be extremely costly. Many users desire a budget rotary evaporator, however, it is important that these budget instruments do not compromise on the quality and […]
Exploring the Drawbacks of a Falling Film Evaporator
/in News /by AZoTypically, evaporation is carried out within vertical tubes. However, in some applications, process fluid evaporates outside horizontal or vertical tubes. The process fluid will always evaporate downwards due to the effect of gravity as a continuous film, creating a film along the tube walls and falling downwards. A fluid distributor is created to maintain an […]
Root Sciences Announces Partnership with Ecodyst
/in News /by ednaRoot Sciences and Ecodyst have joined forces to provide hi-speed evaporators to the market for solvent recovery in cannabinoid applications. Solvent recovery is a common bottleneck in many cannabis processing operations. The unique line of products manufactured by Ecodyst provides single equipment solutions for solvent recovery, decarboxylation, and devolatilization to prepare crude oil for molecular […]
What is the Winterization Process?
/in News /by AZoWinterization refers to a step in the processing of hemp into a consumer level product. It is one of the most important steps for the creation of a clean product. Winterization extracts elements which are unwanted from hemp such as waxes, fats and lipids. The elements can become cloudy, darker and have an unpleasant taste […]
