Working principle of BM-230 molecular distillation apparatus:

The BM-230 molecular distillation apparatus operates by heating a thin-film feed material under high vacuum. Volatile components evaporate from the heated surface and immediately condense on a nearby cooled condenser (<5 cm path). This minimized travel distance prevents re-evaporation, enabling efficient separation of heat-sensitive compounds at lower temperatures. Non-volatile residues exit as bottom product, while distillate collects separately. Ideal for high-boiling-point or thermally unstable substances.

Maintenance Guidelines for BM-230 Molecular Distillation Equipment:

Seal Lubrication & Inspection: Regularly clean and lubricate seals (every 5-8 uses or 72 hours) with vacuum grease to prevent leakage and ensure airtight performance.

Electrical Safety: Keep electrical components dry; avoid water exposure. Conduct maintenance only after disconnecting power to prevent hazards.

Glass Component Care: Handle glass parts gently to avoid cracks. Clean residues with soft cloths and neutral detergents, then dry thoroughly to prevent thermal stress.

Interface Management: Apply minimal vacuum grease to glass interfaces during reassembly, rotating components for even distribution.

PTFE Switch Handling: Avoid over-tightening PTFE valves/switches during operation to prevent deformation or irreversible damage.

Preventive Checks: Inspect shafts and sealing rings monthly for debris, wiping surfaces with lint-free cloths and reapplying lubricants as needed.

Application Case & Customer Feedback

The BM-230 molecular distillation apparatus is widely used in pharmaceutical purification. A European nutraceutical company employed it to isolate high-purity omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil. Under optimized vacuum (0.001 mbar) and a gentle heating profile (120°C), the system achieved 99.5% purity while preserving thermally sensitive EPA/DHA structures, avoiding degradation seen in traditional distillation. Post-processing, residual contaminants were reduced by 98%, meeting stringent EU regulatory standards.

Customer Review:

"After switching to BM-230 molecular distillation apparatus, our omega-3 yield increased by 35% with no thermal damage. The compact design slashed solvent use by 40%, cutting costs significantly. Maintenance is straightforward, and the temperature control ensures batch consistency. It’s revolutionized our production of premium-grade supplements. We’ve since expanded its use to vitamin E and CBD isolations with equal success." – Quality Director, NutraHealth Solutions

FAQ:
