Molecular distillation is a special liquid-liquid separation technology, which is different from the traditional distillation by boiling point difference separation principle, but by different substances molecular movement of the average free path difference to achieve separation.
Taking advantage of molecular distillation working principle, our MD system is a high efficient apparatus for distillation of plant oil concentrates.
Our company is now offering turnkey packages for wiped film molecular distillation units, including evaporator, vacuum pump, heaters, chillers and necessary feeding/receiving equipment. The wiped film molecular distillation unit is superior to traditional short path distillation kit by shorter residence time, lower separation temperature, capability of continuous and unattended operation.

Molecular distillation is a special liquid-liquid separation technology, which is different from the traditional distillation by boiling point difference separation principle, but by different substances molecular movement of the average free path difference to achieve separation.

Features:

●Short residence time (separation is finished in seconds, instead of hours.).
●Low operating pressures to 0.1Pa (100Pa=1mba). The very low operating pressure ensures very low distillation temperature and therefore a very gentle distillation is possible.
●Jacket design for efficient heating & excellent heat preservation
●Made of high borosilicate glass 3.3 with great air tightness, easy for viewing evaporation and separation process
●Continuous distillation process
●Low distillation temperature
●High evaporation rates
●Wide choice of models ( Diameter: 60mm, 80mm, 100mm, 150mm and 200mm), fit for clients at starting point, pilot production or scale production. Industrial grades(>=200mm) products are available upon request.
●Flexible design as clients’ requirement for glass ware and support frame
●Turkey package which is plug-and-play, technical supports available.
●The system can be upgraded for continuous distillation process.

Molecular distillation is a distillation process done under high vacuum. The very short distance the vapor travels before condensing ensures minimal to no loss due to surface hold-up of the vapor and is an immediate release from vapor to condenser surface. This distillation process is classified as short path distillation and is also referred to as molecular distillation due to the minimal vapor/liquid interface. The technique and equipment are typically used to purify substances with low volatility and/or temperature sensitivity.

Molecular Distillation Applications:

1.Thermal separation of heat sensitive chemical compounds.

2.The purification of organic synthetic material.

3.The separation of effective components from the biological extracting solution.

4.The recycling of industrial waste.

5.Remove toxic substances in the food industry.

6.The organic compounds’ decoloring, and eliminate the unusual smell.

7.High precision to remove residual solvent in chemical compound.
