Wiped-film short-path distillation equipment for cannabis processing
Achieve up to 99% cannabinoid purity with this distillation solution, ideal for efficiently separating and purifying cannabis and hemp extracts while maintaining essential oil integrity.
Purifies and Distills Cannabinoid Extracts Efficiently
The VKS 90-S Wiped-Film Short-Path Distillation System from Root Sciences is expertly engineered to enhance your cannabinoid processing operations. Designed and manufactured in Germany, this system utilizes a precisely regulated feed rate and a fully jacketed design to optimize the purification of cannabis and hemp distillates. Its throughput capacity is typically 3.5 L/h, with a maximum of 4.25 L/h, making it suited for mid-sized, continuous operations. Suitable for applications like THC and CBD distillate production, it plays a critical role in creating high-purity end-products such as tinctures, concentrates, and capsules. The VKS 90-S is GMP ready with optional packages for compliance and includes customization options to match your URS. With components made from 316 stainless steel and borosilicate glass, this system offers excellent corrosion resistance, while UL certification ensures adherence to safety standards. The inclusion of on-site expert training ensures your team can optimize the system’s proprietary parameters for distillation, streamlining your production line.
