Cannabis distillation system for high-potency extracts
Ensure your extracts achieve up to 99% cannabinoid purity with precise continuous distillation, seamlessly integrating into your production line for efficient high-volume output.

Separates and Purifies Cannabinoid Distillates
The VKL 75 Wiped-Film Short Path Distillation System from Root Sciences is an expertly engineered solution for cannabis and hemp distillation. Utilizing a high-efficiency wiped-film evaporation technology, it continuously separates and purifies cannabinoids, producing up to 3.5 liters of distillate per hour. Its fully jacketed system negates the need for external heating devices, while integrated pumps enable precise control for true continuous operation.
Designed for applications ranging from cannabis oil and THC distillate to tinctures and isolates, the VKL 75 supports high-speed, continuous processes crucial for extraction laboratories and processing facilities. Engineered with borosilicate glass and 316 stainless steel, the system ensures chemical compatibility and durability. The equipped GMP package includes necessary compliance features like FAT, SAT, IQ, and OQ, meeting international quality standards.
Operators benefit from high visibility processing through its transparent design, while expert on-site training supports seamless integration into existing production lines. The VKL 75 also offers options for customization, including various feed vessels and connection equipment, ensuring adaptability to specific production requirements.
