Short Path Molecular Distillation Machine

The BM-60 short path molecular distillation is a cutting-edge molecular distillation machine designed for precise separation of heat-sensitive compounds. Operating under high vacuum and low temperatures, it minimizes thermal degradation, making it ideal for pharmaceuticals, essential oils, and cannabinoid refinement. Its compact vertical design ensures efficient processing of small to medium batches (1-5L/h), while maintaining exceptional purity levels through short vapor paths and rapid condensation.

This molecular distillation machine features advanced temperature control (±0.5°C accuracy), adjustable rotor speed, and borosilicate glass components for corrosion resistance. The BM-60's modular configuration supports both laboratory R&D and pilot-scale production, offering unmatched flexibility. Its optimized wiped-film mechanism enhances separation efficiency for viscous materials, meeting GMP standards for industries requiring ultra-fine purification and consistent repeatability.

Application Case & Customer Feedback: BM-60 in CBD Refinement

Scenario: A European nutraceutical company sought to eliminate solvent residues and improve CBD isolate purity (from 92% to >99%) for pharmaceutical compliance. Traditional rotary evaporators caused thermal degradation, while competitor distillation systems struggled with clogging in high-viscosity feeds.

BM-60 Solution:

Operated at 150°C with a 0.8 Pa vacuum to gently strip residual ethanol and terpenes.

Achieved 99.6% CBD purity in a single pass using the wiped-film mechanism for viscous extracts.

Reduced batch time by 40% vs. their previous molecular distillation machine.

Customer Testimonial:

"The BM-60’s anti-clogging design and precise thermal control were game-changers. We’ve cut energy costs by 25% while meeting EU-GMP standards: something no other short path molecular distillation system offered at this scale. Maintenance is 70% faster thanks to its modular parts. We’re now expanding its use to omega-3 concentrates."– Dr. Elena Vogt, Head of Production, BioPharma Naturals AG

FAQ:
