System Advantages Summary
Single Stage Units:
Utilizing a single stage distillation unit requires multiple passes through the unit to achieve sellable product. Each pass through the machine requires different operational parameters including temperature, pressure, and speed. The dual-pump manifold gives users the ability to run volatile and/or heads stripping passes with a dry vacuum pump coupled with a pressure controller. This provides the ability to set precise pressures alongside temperatures to make stripping passes optimal and most effective.
After the feed product has been thoroughly stripped and prepped for final, heavy compound distillation, users can clean the system and then utilize the rotary vane pump assembly to reach high vacuum levels effectively without disassembly of the unit. This greatly improves the operational simplicity of the units as well as flexibility to perform various distillation types within one machine.
2-Stage Advantage:
Having multiple stages reduces the need for multiple passes when material is properly prepared for the system by utilizing two (2) stages of short path distillation; thus, continuously collecting two (2) distillate fractions and one (1) residue fraction. The first stage is run at higher pressure (low to medium vacuum) and lower temperature to gently or aggressively remove low to medium boiling point compounds. The second stage is run at high vacuum and higher temperature to achieve proper separation of compounds.
