The BVV 5 Gallon Refinement Filter is a stainless steel filtration system that provides large scale, high flow filtering, with greatly improved functionality compared to a traditional Buchner filter. Utilizing a collection base for vacuum assistance and storage of material, the Refinement Filter allows for benchtop filtration with a longer lifespan and ease of use.

Key Features:

• Stainless steel design for greater thermal conductivity and improved lifespan

• Easy to clean and disassemble with Tri-Clamp stainless steel parts

• Small tabletop footprint with wide mouth design

• Secondary collection vessel for vacuum and storage of material

• Liquid dip tube for direct injection into rotary evaporator after filling

Key Specifications:

• Large 6″ Diameter x 12″ Long Dewaxing Column

• 20 Liter Collection Base

• 5 micron Sintered Stainless Steel Filter Disc

• 100 Pack of 6″Ashless Filter Paper (BIO-1-180)

• Dedicated 3/8″ Vacuum Valve

• Dedicated 3/8″ Dip Tube Valve

• Silicone gaskets with high alcohol resistance

• 3/8″ Stainless steel hose barb connections

• Polycarbonate sights for easy viewing

• 2″ Tri-Clamp Short Sight Glass for Flow Viewing

Operation Instructions:

• Before beginning filtration, place refinement filter in freezer for best thermal conductivity

• Secure ashless filter paper withfilter plate ring

• Place collection base on floor and connect tubing from refinement filter to to a vacuum pump

• Attach vacuum system to the dedicated vacuum valve

• Begin to pour solution into filter

• Close dedicated dip tube valve and start vacuum

• Once solution has been completely filtered, stop vacuum system and disconnect from dedicated vacuum valve

• Connect dedicated dip tube valve to injection valve on rotovap

• Begin rotovap procedure

• Open dedicated dip tube valve and begin injecting filtered solution into rotovap
