It is horrible at transferring heat/cold.* The condensing surfaces in the B/R cold trap are made of stainless steel which has 10 times the thermal conductivity […]
Automate It! The B/R 9200 spinning band distillation system is automated. Shouldn’t everything be automated? Automation takes the guesswork out of distilling and reduces operator errors. Get higher quality product and avoid costly mistakes. Even monitor the distillation remotely. Automatically control: Heating Condenser temperature Reflux ratio Vacuum level Temperature range for fractions Spinning band Automatic […]
The B/R 9200 distillation system is has a been listed by a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory! We’d be happy to supply a copy of our certification upon request. Is your equipment certified by a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory? This industry grew so quickly that many uncertified products have infiltrated production facilities. NRTL Safety certifications are […]
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 […]
