This high efficiency distillation system can be equipped with two different types of distillation columns, spinning band columns and packed columns.
- All Glass and Teflon Components
- 50 Theoretical Plate Distillation Column
- 1 to 50 liter boiler capacities
- Automatic and Manually Operated Distillation Systems
Column Specifications
Column | Length | Diameter | Plates | Flask Sizes |
---|---|---|---|---|
9600 Spinning Band | 90 cm | 21 mm | 50 (Teflon Band) | 1, 5, 12, 22 and 50 liter |
- 15-20 Theoretical Plate Distillation Column
- 1 to 50 liter boiler capacities
- A variety of packing materials
- Automatic and Manually Operated Distillation Systems
Traditional packed distillation columns are used for applications that require high distillation rates or that require boiler sizes larger than 50 liters. A variety of distillation column packing types are available including various random and structured packing. Packing materials can be made of metal, ceramic or glass.
Column Specifications
Column | Diameter | Plates | Boiler Sizes |
---|---|---|---|
9600 Packed | 25 to 150 mm | 15-30 | 1 to 500 liters |
Automatic Controller (Optional PC Interface)
The automatic controller minimizes the amount of operator time required for each distillation. Select your stored distillation program and let the controller perform the distillation. Collect up to 8 fractions. Each fraction has programmable:- Open Temperature
- Close Temperature
- Heat Rate
- Reflux Ratio
- Programmable shut down at end of distillation
Each distillation program has a programmable:
- Vacuum level
- Maximum Boiler temperature (safety feature)
- Equilibration Time
The controller allows easy editing of parameters while the distillation is in progress. Or run the distillation from a PC.
- Automatic Fraction Collector
- Automatic Vacuum Control
- Heating/Cooling Bath
- PC Control
- Many Other Option
Materials that have very high boiling points or are subject to thermal degradation should be distilled at reduced pressures. The VAC-1000 is a complete, stand alone, vacuum system that can provide regulated vacuum to any distillation system. It features a 5 decade pressure sensor, control valve, cold trap, vacuum pump, all mounted on a roll around cart for easy maneuverability in the laboratory.
Automatic Fraction Collectors
Two, four and 8 place fraction collectors are available to direct distilled material to the desired receiver. Automated versions allow distilled fractions to be collected unattended. Various size receivers are available in glass, stainless steel and plastic.
