Shipment of One Unit of MDS-150 Molecular Distillation System to India
TOPTION has shipped one MDS-150 Molecular Distillation System to India. Our staff examined the major assembly, verified the nameplates, configuration list, and compiled and packed the full set of accessories for export.
We would like to address more than just a status update for this shipment. This shipment has transformed into an actual equipment case. It will highlight how TOPTION tailored a glass short path molecular distillation system for the achievement of in-purification, pilot tests, and development of processes in India.
MDS-150 Molecular Distillation System Packed for Shipment to India
For this project, TOPTION offered the customer a full set of MDS-150 glass molecular distillation system along with the additional equipment and accessories, such as double Coil Cold Trap System, Closed Loop Heating and Cooling Circulator, Controlled Inner Condenser, External Cold Trap System, Diffusion Pump, and Connector set.
Prior to packing the entire system, TOPTION engineers verified the system's actual configuration to the customer's order. The detailed photos taken before shipment show the glass systems, control systems, and the system nameplates. It is the responsibility of the shipment to visualize to the customer the equipment they will receive.

This system was packed into three packages. TOPTION included the main system and the supporting units required for heating, cooling, condensation, vacuum generation, and connection.
Nameplate and Technical Confirmation Before Delivery
During pre-shipment inspection, TOPTION checked the nameplate data on the MDS-150 main unit and the UC-3030 heating and cooling circulator.
The MDS-150 nameplate confirms the following data:
- Model: MDS-150
- Motor power: 120 W
- Voltage: 230 V, 50 Hz
- Main condenser: 0.25 m²
- Production date: 2026.04
The UC-3030 circulator nameplate confirms:
- Model: UC-3030
- Temperature range: RT–300°C
- Accuracy: ±0.5°C
- Heating power: 3.6 kW
- Production date: 2026.04
TOPTION records these details before shipment so the customer can match the delivered machine with the commercial invoice, packing list, and installation plan. This step also helps reduce errors during overseas installation.
Why This Configuration Matters
Molecular distillation requires temperature precision, vacuum stability, and fast condensing. Each of the components of the MDS-150 package addresses one of these requirements.
The UC-3030 circulator heats the main evaporator. The pipe insulation for the UT-1520 unit minimizes attachment to the conduit and blockage. The HW-1008 inner condenser collects the light fraction. The DL-0520 traps the vapors before they hit the vacuum pump. The combined effect of the 2XZ-6 vacuum pump and diffusion pump maintains the pressure and conditions needed for molecular distillation.
This design offers the customer a versatile system for separation applications at both laboratory and pilot scales.
How the MDS-150 Supports Short Path Molecular Distillation
Short-path molecular distillation helps in removing materials with controlled heating and under vacuum conditions. The feed material is formed to a thin layer on the heated evaporator. The light fraction travels constituting the film. The condensate returns to the inner condenser. The evaporate flows in a conduit collection.
A decreased residence time also helps in minimizing thermal stress. Short-path distillation is also suitable for the high boiling, heat-sensitive and easily oxidized materials.
The glass design allows operators to observe the process directly. They can see film behavior, condensation status, color change, and collection rate during operation. This visual feedback is useful during process testing and parameter optimization.
Application Case
India shows increasing need for pilot-scale purification across various fields, including pharmaceuticals, food additives, fine chemicals, botanical extracts, and polymer materials. The MDS-150 is designed for customers looking for an adaptable purification pilot scale solution before they need to scale up production.
This system is capable of process trials for:
- Heat-sensitive natural extracts
- High-boiling oils and fatty acid derivatives
- Vitamins and nutraceutical ingredients
- Fine chemical intermediates
- Specialty waxes and silicone-based materials
- Polymer additives and electronic material precursors
TOPTION Pre-Shipment Work
Before export packing, TOPTION completed the following checks:
- Confirmed the MDS-150 main unit model and nameplate.
- Checked the UC-3030 heating and cooling circulator nameplate.
- Matched the supplied accessories with the packing list.
- Checked the glass structure and external support frame.
- Prepared the pipes, flanges, cables, plugs, and air switches.
- Arranged packing by system module to support safer international transport.
These steps help the customer receive a complete system and prepare the site before the equipment arrives.
About TOPTION Molecular Distillation Solutions
TOPTION designs and supplies extraction, distillation, filtration, drying, and pre-treatment equipment for global laboratories and pilot plants. For molecular distillation projects, our team helps customers confirm process information before equipment selection.
The main selection considerations are the viscosity of the material, target fraction, heating temperature, temperature of the condenser, degree of vacuum, area of evaporation, the need for collection of cold traps, and method of collection.
A correct molecular distillation system starts with a correct process discussion. TOPTION uses this approach to help customers choose a system that matches their actual material and operating goal.
FAQ About This MDS-150 Molecular Distillation
