Cannabis distillate production system

Achieve high-purity cannabinoid distillates with continuous, high-volume processing that optimizes yield and potency, ensuring your extracts reach desired purity levels efficiently for diverse end products.

Distills and Purifies Cannabinoid Extracts

The VKS 95 from Root Sciences is a high-efficiency wiped-film short path distillation system expertly designed in Germany to address the rigorous demands of cannabis extractors and hemp processors. It employs a fully jacketed design that optimizes temperature control throughout the process, negating the need for additional heating aids. This system enables true continuous feed with integrated pumps for precise rate control, crucial for maintaining consistency in high-volume cannabinoid distillation.

Specializing in the separation and purification of THC distillate, CBD oil, and other cannabinoid-rich products, the VKS 95 handles up to 14.27 liters per hour, making it ideal for high throughput operations. It supports a diverse range of end-products, including cannabis vape cartridges and hemp-derived lotions. Automation is seamless with integrated GMP readiness, featuring optional FAT, SAT, IQ, and OQ packages to meet stringent compliance standards.

The VKS 95’s efficient use of energy and innovative design reduce operational costs, while UL-ready certification ensures reliable performance. With its 316 stainless steel construction and robust borosilicate glass, this system guarantees durability and compatibility with harsh processing environments. Maintenance is simplified with expert on-site training and customizable options such as immersion chillers and heated transfer hoses, ensuring a well-integrated and optimized production line.
