Safety instructions
• Use the HB 10.2 cover or the HB 10.1 spray guard.
• Only use the device under an all side-closed exhaust, or a compa rable
protective device.
• Adapt the quantity and the type of distilland to the size of the distilla-
tion equipment. The cooler must work properly. Monitor the coolant
flow rate at the cooler outlet.
• The glass equipment must always be ventilated when working under
normal pressure (e.g. open outlet at cooler) in order to prevent a pres-
sure build-up.
• Please note that dangerous concentrations of gases, vapours or parti-
culate matter can escape through the outlet at the cooler. Take appro-
priate action to avoid this risk, for example, downstream cold traps,
gas wash bottles or an effective extraction system.
• Evacuated glass vessels must not be heated on one side; the evapora-
ting flask must rotate during the heating phase.
• The glassware is designed for operation under a vacuum of up to 1
mbar. The equipment must be evacuated prior to heating (see chap-
ter ”Commissioning”). The equipment must only be aired again after
cooling. When carrying out vacuum distillation, uncondensed vapours
must be condensed out or safely dissipated. If there is a risk that the
distillation residue could disintegrate in the presence of oxygen, only
inert gas must be admitted for stress relief
•
Caution!
Avoid peroxide formation. Organic peroxides can accumula-
te in distillation and exhaust residues and explode while decomposing!
Keep liquids that tend to form organic peroxides away from light, in
particular from UV rays and check them prior to distillation and ex-
haust for the presence of peroxides. Any existing peroxides must be
eliminated. Many organic compounds are prone to the formation of
peroxides e.g. dekalin, diethyl ether, dioxane, tetrahydrofuran, as well
as unsaturated hydrocarbons, such as tetralin, diene, cumene and al-
dehydes, ketones and solutions of these substances
.
•
Danger of burning!
The heating bath, tempering medium, evapora-
tor piston and glass assembly can become hot during operation and
remain so for a long time afterwards! Let the components cool off
before continuing work with the device.
•
ATTENTION!
Avoid delayed boiling! Never heat the evaporating flask
in the heating bath without switching on the rotary drive!Sudden fo-
aming or exhaust gases indicate that flask content is beginning to de-
compose. Switch off heating immediately. Use the lifting mechanism
to lift the evaporator piston out of the heating bath. Evacuate the
danger zone and warn those in the surrounding area!
•
Caution!
Never operate the device when the evaporator piston is rota-
ting and the lift is raised.
Start at low speed and lower the evaporating
flask into the heating bath, increase to desired speed. Otherwise hot
tempering medium may be sprayed out!
• Set the speed of the drive so no tempering medium is sprayed out as a
result of the evaporator piston rotating in the heating bath. If neces-
sary reduce the speed.
• Do not touch rotating parts during operation.
•
Imbalance may result in uncontrolled resonance behaviour of the device
or assembly. Glass apparatus may be damaged or destroyed. In the
event of unbalance or unusual noises, switch off the appliance imme-
diately or reduce the speed.
• A vacuum may form inside the glassware in case of power outage.
• The appliance does not start up again automatically following a cut in
the power supply.
• The device is only disconnected from the power supply network if the
device power switch is off or the plug is pulled out.
• if the device power switch is off or the plug is pulled out.
• The socket for the mains cord must be easily accessible.
For your protection
•

starting up and follow the safety instructions.
• Keep the operating instructions in a place where they
can be accessed by everyone.
• Ensure that only trained staff work with the appliance.
• Follow the safety instructions, guidelines, occupational health and
safety and accident prevention regulations.
When working under a
vacuum in particular!
• Wear your personal protective equipment in accordance with the ha-
zard category of the medium to be processed. Otherwise there is a
risk of:
- splashing liquids,
- body parts, hair, clothing and jewellery getting caught,
- injury as a result of glass breakage.
•
Caution!
Inhalation of or contact with media such as poisonous li-
quids, gases, spray mist, vapours, dusts or biological and microbiologi-
cal materials can be hazardous to user.
• Set up the device in a spacious area on an even, stable, clean, non-slip,
dry and fireproof surface.
• Ensure that there is sufficient space above the device as the glass as-
sembly may exceed the height of the device.
•
Prior to each use, always check the device, accessories and especially
the glass parts for damage. Do not use damaged components.
• Ensure that the glass assembly is tension-free! Danger of cracking as
a result of:
- stress due to incorrect assembly,
- external mechanical hazards,
- local temperature peaks.
• Ensure that the stand does not start to move due to vibrations respec-
tively unbelance.
• Beware of hazards due to:
- flammable materials,
- combustible media with a low boiling temperature.
•
Caution!
Only process and heat up media that has
a flash point higher than the adjusted safe tempe-
rature limit of the heating bath that has been set.
The safe temperature limit of the heating bath must al-
ways be set to at least 25 °C lower than the fire point of the media
used.
• Do
not
operate the appliance in explosive atmospheres, with hazar-
dous substances or under water.
• Only process media that will not react dangerously to the extra energy
produced through processing. This also applies to any extra energy
produced in other ways, e.g. through light irradiation.
• Tasks with the device must only be performed when operation is mo-
nitored.
• Operation with excess pressure is not permitted (for cooling water
pressure see "Technical Data")
• Do not cover the ventilation slots of the device in order to ensure ade-
quate cooling of the drive.
• There may be electrostatic discharges between the medium and the
drive which could pose a direct danger.
• The appliance is not suitable for manual operation.
• Safe operation is only guaranteed with the accessories described in the
”Accessories” chapter.
• Refer to the operating instructions for the HB 10 heating bath.

front plate or the main switch on the back right side of the device using
the maximum total weight of 3.1 kg.
The evaporating flask is lifted out of the heating bath.
When using for the first time or after a long period of inactivity, proceed
as follows: use the motor to move the lift several times to the top and
bottom positions by pressing the lift function keys prior to interrupting
the power supply.
Note: Switching off and disconnecting the power supply shows a delay
compared to switching off using the "Power" switch on the front panel.
If the safety lift is not working, please contact the
IKA
®
Service depart-
ment.
For the evaporating equipment (evaporating flask plus contents), the ma-
ximum permissible weight is 3.0 kg! With larger loads there is the risk of
broken glass on the steam pipe!
Ensure that the safety lift has been powered down.
When working with large loads, always use low speeds. Unbalanced
loads can result in a broken steam pipe!
• Removable parts must be refitted to the appliance to prevent the infil-
tration of foreign objects, liquids etc..
• Protect the appliance and accessories from bumps and impacts.
Safety lift
When the device is switched off or the power supply disconnected, the
internal safety lift removes the evaporating flask from the heating bath.
When the safety lift is powered off, it is designed for a maximum total
weight (glassware and solvent) of 3.1 kg.
Sample calculation of total weight with vertical glassware and a 1 litre
flask:
Condenser + receiving flask + evaporating flask + consumables =
1200 g + 400 g + 280 g + 100 g = 1980 g
Maximum solvent load = 3100 g – 1980 g = 1320 g
Due to the design, the safety lift cannot be guaranteed for higher loads!
When using other types of condensers such as dry ice or intensive con-
densers as well as when using return distillation distributors with slip-on
condensers, it may be necessary to reduce the load by the added weight
of the glass apparatus.
Thus, prior to distillation, check whether the lift goes up without power
when laden with the glassware and distillation material.
The safety lift must be checked daily prior to operation. Use the motor
to move the lift to the lowest position and press the "Power" key on the
For protection of the equipment

Useful information
Speed, temperature, piston size and system pressure all affect the eva-
porator air capacity.
The optimum capacity of the flow-through condenser is approx. 60%.
This corresponds to condensation on approx. 2/3 of the cooling coil.
With larger capacities there is the risk that the uncondensed solvent va-
pour will be extracted.
The device is equipped with a piston-operated safety mechanism. The
glass apparatus may contain a vacuum following interruption to the po-
wer supply; vent the system before switching back on. If the power cuts
out, the evaporator piston is automatically lifted out of the heating bath
by an integrated gas spring.
CAUTION!
The safety lift must be checked daily prior to operation. For
more information see the section entitled "Safety Instructions - Safety
Lift"!
Distillation is a thermal separating process for liquid compounds based
on substance-specific, pressure-dependent boiling points through evapo-
ration and subsequent condensation.
The boiling point temperature decreases with decreasing external pressu-
re which means that work is usually done under reduced pressure. In this
way the heating bath can be maintained at a constant temperature (e.g.
60 °C). Using the vacuum, the boiling point is set with a steam tempe-
rature of approx. 40 °C. The cooling water for the condensation cooler
should not be warmer than 20 °C (60-40-20 rule).
A chemical resistant membrane pump with a vacuum controller should
be used to create the vacuum. The pump is protected from solvent resi-
due by the addition of a Woulff bottle and/or a vacuum separator.
Working with a jet pump to create a vacuum can only be recommended
to a limited extent as the solvents may contaminate the environment
when using these systems.

Setting up
Remove the clamping device for the angle setting of the rotation drive
on the right side of the lift by rotating the knurled screw counter clock-
wise (by lightly pressing and turning at the same time, the knurled
screw comes out farther).
Set the drive at an angle of approx. 30° (Fig. 7).
Then secure the rotation drive from being accidentally turned by tigh-
tening the knurled screw in a clockwise direction.

motor to move the lift to the top or bottom position several times prior
to starting distillation. (See the section entitled Safety Instructions - Sa-
fety Lift)!
Filling the evaporator piston
Prior to filling the evaporator piston, a vacuum controller is used to regu-
late the glass apparatus to the target pressure.
Now fill the evaporator piston using the backfeed line.
Due to the vacuum present, the solvent is suctioned into the evapo-
rator piston. This enables you to keep solvent loss due to suctioning
to a minimum.
You can also fill the evaporator piston manually prior to creating the
vacuum. The evaporator piston should not be filled more than half its
volume.
Note:
Caution!
The maximum allowed load (evaporator piston and
contents) is 3 kg.
Setting up the heating bath
Refer also to the operating instructions for the heating bath IKA
®
HB 10!
Move the lift to the bottom position and check the position of the
heating bath in relation to the evaporator piston. When using larger
evaporator pistons (2 or 3 litres) or depending on the angle of the
rotation drive, you can move the heating bath 50 mm to the right.
Fill the heating bath with the tempering medium until the evaporator
piston is surrounded by tempering medium to 2/3 of its volume.
Switch on the rotation drive and slowly increase the speed
Note: Avoid creating waves.
Switch on the heating bath using the main on/off switch.
Note: Avoid stress on the glass due to different evaporator piston and
heating bath temperatures when lowering the evaporator piston into
the heating bath!
Note: If non-original accessories are used that are not supplied by
IKA
®
,
then it is possible that the 50 mm travel range provided by the heating
bath will not be sufficient. This applies in particular when using 3 L eva-
porator flasks with foam brake.
Use the
IKA
®
RV 10.3000 mounting plate to extend the heating bath
travel range by 150 mm.

Maintenance and cleaning
The device is maintenance-free. It is subject only to the natural wear and
tear of components and their statistical failure rate.
The seal on the glass condenser should be checked at regular intervals
and replaced if necessary.
For cleaning disconnect the main plug.
To clean the device use only water with a detergent that contains tensi-
des, or use isopropylalcohol for stubborn soiling.
Safety lift
The safety lift must be checked daily prior to operation!
After a long period of inactivity (approx. four weeks), use the motor to
move the lift to the top or bottom position several times prior to starting
distillation. (See the section entitled Safety Instructions - Safety Lift)! If the
safety lift is not working, please contact the IKA® Service department.
