Molecular Distillation
Molecular distillation is a special liquid-liquid separation technology that operates under extremely high vacuum. It achieves the purpose of separation according to the physical characteristics of different molecular motions of different substances with different mean free paths. The liquid will be separated below the boiling point. It is especially suitable for the separation of high boiling point, heat sensitive and easy-to-oxidize systems. Because its boiling point is lower than the distillation temperature of the material, the distillation pressure is reduced, the heating time is short, and the high degree of separation is high, which can greatly reduce the separation cost of high boiling point materials and protect the quality of sensitive materials. Molecular distillation technology is used for the purification of natural health products, functional oils, etc., to get rid of the constraints of chemical treatment and maintain pure natural characteristics.
Molecular distillation equipment includes fractionation towers with wiped film distillation units, centrifugal molecular distillation units, vacuum distillation, condensers, evaporation and processing vessels that meet customer application requirements, with excellent results.

The working process of Molecular Distillation Equipment
Feed material is delivered from a feed flask into the main jacketed evaporator, having heating frompei the jacket, and a diagonally slotted wiper mechanism forcing liquid around and downward in a thin film on the inside.
In the center of the body is a closely positioned internal condenser, providing a short path for vapor molecules traveling from the heated surface to the condenser surface.
During the journey downward, lighter (lower boiling point) fractions of the liquid begin to vaporize, move to the internal condenser and condense, falling down as a liquid into a well that captures and separates the distilled liquid which flows into the Distillate receiving flask.
Heavier residue material (like chlorophyll, salts, sugars, heavy wax) does not evaporate and instead travels the length of the main evaporator body and flows into the Residue receiving flask.
Advantages of Molecular Distillation Equipment
1. Short feed time The rotating scrubber pushes the material to the heating surface. The liquid of the material is carefully twisted and dropped and leaves the heating surface. The material falling off the heating surface is cooled and quickly gathered by the condenser. This method should limit the contact time of the material and the surface insulation .
2. Low evaporation temperature Under high vacuum conditions, the short-distance distillation equipment is assembled through a material-liquid distributor and a scrubber, so that the materials are evenly distributed on the heating surface, and the weight of the materials delivered to the static liquid surface is reduced. The vapor will be dense in discrete condensers, and the liquid will be removed as a large amount of material or sent to the relevant stage. This strategy is an experienced warming technology with the least amount of decay and the highest quality.
3. No need to spray The short path of molecular distillation is the free evaporation from the outside of the liquid layer, which is transferred to a low weight. Since there is no separated air in the liquid, all liquids are impermeable during the distillation process, so there is no need for spraying.
4. Risk-free, harmless, environmentally friendly, no development required, real and safe things can be obtained. The molecular distillation system is a professional program that uses a temperature bulb with minimal interruption and excellent quality. Therefore, it is most reasonable to use CBD for oil production or health benefits. It can get rid of the shackles of engineering procedures and maintain the necessary quality.
5. High evaporation skills, strong adaptability, necessary for action The rotary scrubber makes the material uniformly distributed on the insulating surface in the form of a thin film; the liquid film reliably maintains a highly uneven state, so that the movement of the glow has an animation effect, thereby reducing the incident glow. Direct structure that supports cleanliness, ability to start and stop, suitable for certain combinations, unpredictable minimum age of difficulty.
Application of Molecular Distillation Equipment
Application of molecular distillation innovation in food products
Molecular purification can be used in different aspects of food production. It is specifically affordable for the splitting up of thermosensitive and useful oxidized compounds by dividing and also purifying unsaturated fats.

Application of molecular purification technology in great chemicals
Molecular purification technology has various applications in fine chemicals. The method was established to separate compounds that can be denatured at high temperatures. The reduction in stress produces a neighborhood vacuum as well as the boiling point of the compound is drastically minimized. The method facilitates the separation of substances such as
1. tocopherols from soybean sludge
2. Manufacturing of lactic acid
3. Paraffin extraction
4. Monoglyceride removal
5. Omega-3 fatty acids
Molecular purification in the pharmaceutical industry
The use of molecular distillation in the pharmaceutical industry has been observed when there is a need to securely different 2 non-heat resistant substances. For instance, the majority of organic as well as silicone substances can not be revealed to temperature levels above 250ºC without risk of severe degradation.
As opposed to counting on conventional equipment such as reduced stress packing or atmospheric purification columns, molecular distillation utilizes a high vacuum distiller to transform the heat from the condensation procedure into a feasible driver to launch radiant heat to the surface of the evaporator.
Some other applications are as follows:
• Adding compounds/solvents to active ingredients to create concentrated pharmaceutical solutions
• Upgrading of pharmaceutical substances for artificial feeding
• Incorporating blending ingredients to creams, ointments, and lotions to achieve a smooth consistency
• Dissolving pharmaceutical substances in active solutions to create topical pet products
