Stainless Steel, 2-Stage, 0.2m2
Lab Society has partnered with InCon Process Systems (IPS) to bring the industry the most comprehensive continuous short path thin film distillation plant on the market.
Designed solely around distilling high-boiling-point compounds (coupled with low-boiling-point constituents in feed stock), the stainless steel CannaBeast® Dual-Stage Thin Film Distillation System has all the features necessary to streamline and maximize throughput with its 0.2 m² evaporation system.
Achieve up to 20 liter-per-hour flow rates.
Feed tank material is precisely fed into the CannaBeast® by a VFD-controlled gear pump, allowing flow rates of up to 20 liters per hour (LPH).
An additional four (4) VFD-controlled gear pumps precisely pump distillate and residue fractions from the two (2) stages, continuously.
Two stages, to eliminate the need for multiple passes.
The CannaBeast® reduces the need for multiple passes when material is properly prepared for the system by using two (2) stages of short path distillation and continuously collecting two (2) distillate fractions and one (1) residue fraction.
Stage 1:
The first stage is run at higher pressure (low-to-medium vacuum) and lower temperature to gently or aggressively remove low-to-medium-boiling-point compounds. The first evaporator/stage features a high vacuum/high capacity dry vacuum pump and precision compound pressure gauge (and vacuum control system) to give users the ability to run the system at variable pressures and vacuum depth.
Both stages may be operated at higher pressures to gently remove low boiling point compounds, such as terpenes. For precise heavy compound distillation, the system may be reconfigured to run at standard operational parameters (high vacuum) to precisely cut into feed for desired compounds.
Stage 2:
The second stage is run at high vacuum and higher temperature to achieve proper separation of compounds. The system includes a precision flow meter and a fully-jacketed feed tank.
The second stage of the CannaBeast® is separated from the first stage via a mechanical seal. This allows the second evaporator/stage to be run at significantly higher vacuum levels via rotary vane technology. Additionally, the second stage includes a diffusion pump that may be utilized in high-vacuum situations where there are minimal low-boiling-point compounds present, and the user wishes to achieve greater separation.
