We have changed 2 years ago our speed-vac for a system called
TURBOVAP LV from Zymark.
The address I have for the US is :
Zymark Corp.
Zymark Center,
Hopkinton, MA 01748
Tel (508) 435-9500
Fax (508) 435-3439
I have no web details (never searched).
The main advantage for us was the speed of the system.
As compared to Speed-Vac our evaporation to dryness was achieved
at least 2 time faster.
I do not know if this will solve your problem but
I hope it may help.
Sincerely.
