Intended use
The machine detailed here is an infrared vortex evaporator. The evaporator is used to evaporate liquids with the

The intended use also includes adherence to all information within the operating instructions, as well as the
relevant and known accident prevention guidelines and the fulfilment of the required inspection and maintenance
work. If the evaporator is installed within another machine or integrated into a system, the manufacturer of the
complete system will be responsible for its safety.
