Abstract: A distillation device with a rotating evaporator flask disposed within a heated bath. The heated bath is movable down and away from the evaporator flask to provide space for an evaporator flask support below the evaporator flask. The evaporator flask support holds the evaporator flask while it is connected or disconnected from the rotary drive. In addition, a U-shaped case accommodates the collecting flask and/or evaporator flask. The case supports the flask in an upright manner and facilitates positioning and transporting of the flask.
