Cannabis and hemp short path distillation system
Achieve optimal cannabinoid purification with continuous high-volume distillation, ensuring up to 99% cannabinoid content in your distillates through precise feed and discharge control.
Processes and Purifies Cannabis and Hemp Oils
The VKS 125 from Root Sciences is a specialized wiped-film short path distillation system tailored for the cannabis and hemp industries. Utilizing a fully jacketed, continuous feed design, it allows for precise control over distillation and purification processes, producing high-purity cannabinoid distillates like CBD and THC. With a maximum feed rate of 20 L/h and typical throughput of 15 L/h, it efficiently handles high-volume processing needs. This system is GMP-ready, with integrated pumps for true continuous operation, and includes optional upgrades like a dispensing gear pump for series connections. Constructed with 316 stainless steel and borosilicate glass, it offers durability and resistance to corrosive materials. The VKS 125 is compliant with UL standards and is suitable for processors seeking reliable, high-capacity distillation solutions in industrial settings.
