Cannabis and hemp distillation system
Achieve up to 99% cannabinoid purity with high-throughput, continuous distillation that seamlessly integrates into your processing line for efficient separation and purification of cannabis and hemp extracts.
Processes and Purifies Cannabinoid Distillate
The VKL 85 from Root Sciences is a high-performance wiped-film short path distillation system designed for the continuous processing of cannabinoid distillates. This equipment is engineered to deliver exceptional purity in THC and CBD distillate production by maintaining optimal processing conditions with its fully jacketed, transparent glass components. The system operates with a true continuous feed, thanks to integrated pumps that allow precise control over feed and discharge rates, achieving up to 4.25 liters per hour. Ideal for cannabis and hemp extraction companies, the VKL 85 effectively separates and purifies raw extracts into high-value end-products such as vape cartridges and cannabinoid-infused edibles.
Built with a single-stage evaporation process and a working surface area of 0.15 m², it ensures efficient solvent recovery and energy use, supported by a 1Φ 230 V power requirement. The system is GMP-ready, with optional packages including IQ, OQ, FAT, and SAT, to meet rigorous local or international compliance standards. Constructed from 316 stainless steel, borosilicate glass, and PTFE glass fiber reinforced rollers, the VKL 85 is UL ready and withstands the demands of continuous operation. For ease of use, the equipment features expert on-site training and offers customization options such as a 10-liter feed vessel and GMP-compliant heated transfer hoses.
