Engineering High-Clarity Distillates: TOPTION Short Path Distillation TechnologyDescription
Achieving pharmaceutical-grade purity and crystal-clear color in botanical extracts requires more than just heat; it requires an environment of extreme precision. TOPTION Short Path Distillation Systems are engineered to operate at ultra-high vacuum levels (<0.001mbar), allowing for separation at temperatures significantly below the material's boiling point. This process prevents thermal degradation and oxidation, preserving the delicate profile of high-value essential oils and hemp extracts.
Built with medical-grade SS316L stainless steel and featuring an advanced scraper-type wiped film rotor, our MDS-10 series handles high-viscosity materials (up to 5000 centipoise) with incredible efficiency. Every component, from the jacketed 15L feed tank to the high-precision gear pumps, is designed for 24/7 industrial operation. Whether you are transitioning from lab scale to pilot production, TOPTION provides the UL-certified configurations and turnkey engineering support required for global regulatory compliance.

Short-path molecular distillation workflow
1. Full jacketed layer insulation for all pipelines through which the materials flow. Ensure there will be no solidification that will affect the material's separation.
2. High precision gear pump feeding material. Steady flow of materials from normal pressure to negative pressure, the flow quantity does not change with the pressure difference. As long as the set speed is the same, the amount of material flow will be the same.
3. Separation of high-boiling-point, heat-sensitive, and easily oxide materials. As molecular distillers operate at temperatures well below the boiling point of the material and the material residence time is short.
4. Short path distillation can extremely effectively remove substances in liquids such as organic solvents, odors, etc, which is a very effective method for liquid dissolution after solvent extraction.
5. The short path distillation fractionation process is a physical process, so it can well protect the separated materials from pollution and damage.
