Cannabis and hemp short path distillation system
When processing cannabis and hemp for high-purity cannabinoid extracts, traditional distillation methods can struggle with maintaining yield and potency, especially at high volumes. Handling substantial crude oil quantities while achieving consistent product quality is a common challenge in this industry.
Continuous distillation for high-yield cannabinoid extracts
The VKS 125 by Root Sciences is a wiped-film short-path distillation system specifically designed for cannabis and hemp oil processing. This unit stands out for its high throughput capability, typically processing up to 15 liters per hour, with a maximum feed rate of 20 liters per hour. The fully jacketed system ensures consistent heating throughout the process, eliminating the need for additional heating tape or heat guns. Integrated pumps provide precise control over feed and discharge rates, allowing true continuous operation and efficient production. The equipment can be customized to meet local or international GMP requirements and includes options like a 50-liter feed vessel, additional distillation stages, and a vacuum system upgrade. Constructed with 316 stainless steel, borosilicate glass, and graphite wiper blocks, the VKS 125 is engineered in Germany for durable and reliable performance.
