Spinning Band Distillation
Fewer passes = Faster distillation + Higher Purity + Easier Cleaning
Throughput for a wiped film system is slower since:
- 3 passes are required
- 3 cleaning cycles are required
- decarbing is a separate step
- oil must be stripped of ethanol before distilling
- final purity is less than with a spinning band system
Wiped film requires 30- 70% more operator time and attention than spinning band or short path.
More operator interaction increases the chance for errors that can decrease product purity and yield.
