When to use short path distillation?
Firstly,short path distillation is also called as short path (molecular) distillation system,short path vacuum distillation,molecular distillation apparatus,molecular distillation purification,high vacuum distillation system,short path distillation organic chemistry,etc. These names all are used by our customers when communicate with TOPTION, so please understand only its name is different, but applications, technical features and your benefits all are the same. In order to be convenient for you, we will use molecular distillation apparatus as below.
Molecular distillation apparatus / short path distillation is a comparatively new separation technology developed by TOPTION engineers team, under high vacuum condition, molecular distillation equipment can separate liquid-liquid mixture under the temperature which is far lower than material boiling point by the difference of mean free path of molecules.
As all known, want to separate liquid-liquid mixture when temperature haven't reach its boiling point, this is very difficult or unable to achieve on normal distillation equipments, but for some heat sensitive or easy to be oxidized material, you need to control the reaction temperature, so this is the time when to use short path distillation.
Molecular distillation apparatus is a new seperation technology which is specially designed to separate substance of high boiling point, heat sensitive and easy to be oxidized.
Short path distillation applications: If you are work in Food,Pharmaceutical, Fine chemical industry, or want to seperate Electronic materials, Polymers ( Polyols, fatty acids, Polyphenols compounds, polyurethane, epoxy resin, lactate, glycerol monostearate, flavors and fragrances, fuel oil and paraffin oil), etc. Then you need this type distillation system to do seperate process.

Your benefits from molecular distillation apparatus:
1.Transprent - Allow an easy observation in whole experiment process on materials (color, fluidity, film effect, start point of distilling, ect.) when changing of settings of pressure, temperature, feed and rotation speed. The convenience does help to get the optimum technological parameters and the experimental data.
2.High Pressuretightness - Magnetic coupling drive system plus TOPTION fine processing technics, both guarantee system vacuum down to 0.001mbar.
3.Cleaness - Material can only touch glass and PTFE during separation process.
4.Easy Maintenance - Quick disassemble structure and specially designed cleaning kits make maintenance job fast and simple.
5.Cow Distillation Receiver - Allow user to collect 3 samples during separation process which increases experiment efficiency and assists process analysis.
