Molecular distillation equipment

Molecular distillation equipment

Molecular distillation is a type of short-path vacuum distillation, characterized by an extremely low vacuum pressure, 0.01 torr or below. It’s considered as the safest mode of separation and to purify the thermally unstable molecules and related compounds with low volatility and elevated boiling point.

Introduction

Wiped film short path molecular distillation equipment can eliminate thermal decomposition, polymerization or metamorphic, so this technology has already become the most moderate separation purpose distillation method, particularly suitable for concentration, purification and separation of high molecular weight, high boiling point, high viscosity material and poor thermal stability of organic compounds.

Short path distillation technology used in the extraction of natural health products, can get rid of the bondage of chemical processing method, really keep the characteristics of the natural, is seen as a protector of natural ualities.

Advantages

1) Material be heated in short time, successfully eliminates the thermal decomposition, polymerization, or metamorphic.

2) Low evaporation temperature, the distillation temperature was much lower than the conventional distillation method.

3) Self-cleaning heating surface, so short path distillation system can successfully be applied to the material concentration and separation which is easily bubble, in the heating surface fouling in conventional distillation.

4) High efficiency evaporation, strong adaptability, easy operation. Simple structure, convenient cleaning, freedom of start-up and shut-down, suitable for many varieties, discontinuous small chemical production.

Main functions / key features

1) Made of food grade 316L stainless steel material, which is durable and corrosive resistant, with excellent thermal conductivity for high processing rates.

2) Wide options of sizes applicable to lab, pilot and industry production.

3) Fully jacketed design can make full insulation of whole system with circulating hot oil for precise control of insulation temperature.

4) Fully automatic operation by feeding and collection pumps, make continuous and high efficient working process.

5) Shortest lead time and inventory available, strong technical support including on-line and on-site.

6) Turnkey solution provided, include main distiller, supporting thermostatic equipment and vacuum pumps for one step service.

Applications

Molecular distillation is applied for creating a high value clear distillate from Plant Oil Concentrates, such as refine cbd and hemp concentrates into a golden clear distillate that can be infused into a variety of edible products or fine oils to be used in vape cartridges or other products. 

How to use

During molecular distillation process, light molecules escape from the heating surface, reach the condenser and be condensed as liquid, then along the condenser tube shed, through the evaporator discharge tube out, which is located at the bottom of evaporator. Residual liquid also is the heavier molecules are collected under the heating area of circular channels, again through the side of the discharge tube outflow.
