Concept Process Equipments, leading short path distillation unit manufacturers, suppliers, exporters in India, are offering the top quality of short path distillation unit that are primarily used to specific types of compounds in pharmaceuticals, food processing and chemical manufacturing industries.
These are majorly used for sensitive compounds and small quantity distillation. We have used multiple types of new technological updates for improving performance. Let’s check out its various kinds of types, its benefits and applications!
1. Single-Stage Short Path Distillation:
Our basic unit includes a single distillation unit where the feed is heated to vaporize the desired component, which then condenses on a surface near the vapor source. Modern versions of these units now often feature PLC-based monitoring, allowing temperature, pressure, and flow rates to be controlled remotely. This integration ensures consistency and efficiency, especially in small-scale applications.
These systems are widely used in industries like pharmaceuticals, essential oil extraction, and cannabis processing, where precise separation is critical. The compact design minimizes thermal degradation, making it ideal for heat-sensitive compounds. Additionally, the short residence time of the material ensures high yield and product purity.
2. Multi-Stage Short Path Distillation:
This unit uses several stages in a row to heat and condense the vapor multiple times, which leads to better purity and separation. Some of these multi-stage systems are designed to run continuously, making them more scalable and suitable for large-scale industrial use. They are particularly beneficial for applications requiring the separation of complex mixtures, such as in petrochemicals and high-purity solvent recovery.
The ability to operate under high vacuum reduces the boiling point of substances, preserving their structural integrity. Furthermore, automated control systems in modern multi-stage units enhance process efficiency and reduce manual intervention.
Short path distillation is used for separating and purifying heat-sensitive compounds by reducing their boiling point through a high vacuum environment, ensuring minimal thermal degradation.
Industries such as pharmaceuticals, cannabis extraction, food processing, petrochemicals, and essential oil production rely on SPDU for high-purity distillation and separation.
Compared to conventional methods, short path distillation operates under vacuum, requires lower temperatures, prevents degradation, and achieves higher purity levels with minimal product loss.
