Stainless Steel Basket (HI09)
Insert with foldable carrying handle. Fits the small
Heidelberg Plastination Kettle, HI02. Facilitates
specimen immersion into and removal from the
impregnation bath and also serves as drip-off grid.
Vacuum Tubing (HI12)
For connecting vacuum chambers, vacuum pumps,
vacuum adjustment devices, and solvent separators.
Material: silicone.
Inner diameter: 9.5 mm (0.4 in).

Separator for Oil and Solvents (HI13)
Condensation and collecting vessel for extracted
solvent and oil vapor generated during the forced
impregnation process. Consists of a plastic barrel with
removable lid. Lid has connectors for vacuum tubing.
Vacuum tubing is used to connect the separator with
the vacuum pump on the one side and waste air
exhaust on the other side. Available in two sizes: HI13-1, capacity 15 L (4 gal, suitable for the small Heidelberg
Plastination Kettle HI02) and HI13-2, capacity 50 L (13
gal, suitable for all larger vacuum containers). Vacuum
tubing (2 x 2 m / 2 x 80 in) included.
If the separator is placed inside a freezer,
virtually all of the extracted solvent can be
recovered. At room temperature, only partial
recovery is possible.
Vacuum Adjustment Valve (HI14)
Simple needle valve for the manual control of negative
pressure during the process of forced impregnation via
admission of external air.
Vacuum-Adjustment Valve (HI15)
Consists of a Y-shaped vacuum tubing system with
two Vacuum Adjustment Valves (HI14). Allows for
finer adjustment than a single valve

Vacuum Pump Oil (HI18)
Of low vapor pressure. Suitable for all vacuum pumps
we offer. Viscosity: 225 mm2/s at 25 °C.
Bennert Manometer (HI20)
Vacuum meter with sliding mirror glass scale for easy
parallax-free reading. Measuring range: 0 to approx.
230 mbar, graduation of scale: 1 mbar, connectors:
glass fittings, weight: approx. 450 g (1 lb).
Digital Manometer (HI22)
Measuring range of 0 mbar to 1100 mbar, absolute;
resolution: 1 mbar, power supplied by 9 V battery
(included), available with (HI22-2) or without (HI22-1)
230 V power supply. Casing: ABS black. Dimensions:
30 mm x 86 mm x 150 mm (1.2 in x 3.4 in x 5.9 in; h
x w x d).

Vacuum Pumps, 230 V* (HI29-HI32, HI36)
Solvent resistant rotary vane vacuum pumps, for crude
and fine vacuum generation in plastination. All pumps
have a carrying handle and a safety valve. One filling
of Pump Oil is included.
Vacuum Pump (HI29)
1.5 m3 /h—for impregnation baths of up to 15 L (4 gal,
recommended for the small Heidelberg Plastination
Kettle HI02).
Vacuum Pump (HI30)
3 m3 /h—for impregnation baths of up to 30 L (8 gal,
recommended for the large Heidelberg Plastination
Kettle HI03).
Vacuum Pump (HI31)
10 m3 /h—for impregnation baths of up to 100 L
(26 gal, recommended for the Vacuum Chamber for
Extremities, HL11).
Vacuum Pump (HI32)
16 m3 /h—for impregnation baths of up to 160 L (42
gal, recommended for the large Vacuum Container
HL12).

The required pumping speed for a plastination
vacuum pump depends on the volume of the
impregnation bath. The rule of thumb we
recommend following is a speed of 1 m3/h per
10 L (2.6 gal) of impregnation bath. For the small
Heidelberg Plastination Kettle (HI02), for example,
with its average filling volume of 15 L (3.9 gal) of
impregnation bath, we recommend a pumping
speed of 1.5 m3/h. When in doubt, opt for the
lower of the two speeds you are considering.
