A Short Path Distillation Unit (SPDU), A different from a standard Agitated Thin Film Evaporator by incorporating an internal condenser. The system minimizes pressure drop by providing vapours generated on the heated surface with a short path to the condenser. With this design, it is possible to operate at vacuum levels as low as 0.001 mbar.

Features

Operation pressure as low as 0.001 mbar(a). Hence production can be distilled at lower temperatures to avoid degradation.
Suitable for processing heat-sensitive, high-boiling point materials with minimal thermal stress.
Achieves the desired distillation in a single pass
a short retention time of only a few seconds
Offers excellent turn-down capabilities
Along with degasser
Use of metal blades at high temperature gives more flexibility than conventional roller design.

Applications

Purification of natural and synthetic waxes
Re-refining of used lubricating oils
High vacuum distillation of fatty acids, fish oil, omega-3 fatty acids, glycerides and cardanol.
Distillation of pharmaceuticals, bulk drugs, esters, and tocopherols
Processing of epoxy resins, plasticizers, and stabilizers
Separation of fine chemicals, silicone oils, and higher alcohols
