Industrial-scale cannabis distillation system

Achieve up to 99% cannabinoid purity effortlessly with an industry-standard short path distillation plant, designed for seamless integration into large-scale continuous production lines for cannabis and hemp processing.

Processes and Purifies Cannabis and Hemp Oils

The VK 200-40 from Root Sciences, designed by VTA of Germany, is a dual-stage short path distillation system tailored for cannabis and hemp oil processing. This system excels in achieving high-purity cannabinoid distillates, integrating a continuous feed mechanism to ensure uninterrupted operation. Ideal for producing THC distillates, CBD distillates, and other cannabinoid isolates, it handles up to 40,000 mL/h. The fully jacketed design with independent degassing enhances processing reliability regardless of feedstock, while integrated pumps offer precision in control over feed and discharge rates. Constructed from 316 stainless steel with graphite wipers, it meets UL certification standards and can be customized to fulfill GMP requirements. The VK 200-40 ensures seamless integration within industrial-scale production lines, making it indispensable for both cannabis and pharmaceutical industries.
