Lot Description

Centrifugal Molecular Distillation (Process Up To 0.9 Kg/Hour) Is A Purification Technique Which Has Gained Wide Acceptance In The Chemical, Food Processing, Pharmaceutical And Petroleum Industries As Well As The Specialty Chemicals Industry.

The Principle Behind The Myers Vacuum Centrifugal Molecular Stills Is Low Pressure And Extremely Short Residence Time. Once The Feed Material Has Been Degassed, It Flows Onto The Spinning Heated Disc. Distillation Takes Place In Less Than 1 Second As The Material Expands Out Exponentially On The Radius Of The Disc. The Residue Is Caught Within A Gutter Surrounding The Rotor And Then Flows Down To The Collecting Vessel Below. The Distillate Condenses On The Outer Shell Of The Still And Flows By Gravity To Another Collecting Vessel Also Below The Still.
