Short path distillation in a stainless steel pilot plant with 0.1 m2 wiped heating surface. KD10 units are suitable for a throughput of up to approx.
20 l/h at evaporator temperatures of up to 250 °C and pressures of up to 10-3 mbar.
The KD10 is our most popular pilot plant for short path distillation. It is ideal for process development and small-scale production. The unit is highly flexible and can be used for the distillation of both high and low viscosity products as it is fully heatable. The KD10 distills continuously. Standard configuration:
The KD10 can be equipped with the following accessories to adapt
it to your distillation tasks and preferences:
The suction lance incl. a small vacuum system for the feed container enables continuous filling of the evacuated feed container directly from the vessel in which the feed material is provided (e.g. from canisters, drums or IBC containers).
Tablet control with interface to all temperature control units, pumps, sensors and the vacuum system as well as a weighing system for distillate and concentrate.
Precise and continuous feed flow measurement.
This option is only available in combination with V-Tab.
A pump between the degasser and evaporator, which replaces the standard siphon installed at this point.
Additional heat exchanger at the concentrate discharge for rapid cooling of the concentrate. Of particular relevance e.g. in distillation processes in which the concentrate is the valuable product and reacts sensitively to prolonged exposure to heat.
Continuously cooled plug-in cooler eliminates the need for manual coolant replenishment.
Replaces the standard oil diffusion pump.
SKR Wiper System that comes instead of or in addition to the standard roll wiper System.
