Sterols & bioactives
High-vacuum fractionation of selected sterol and bioactive streams.
Short Path Molecular Distillation
Short path molecular distillation places the condenser inside the evaporator, reducing the vapor travel distance and pressure loss. This supports the fractionation of high-boiling and temperature-sensitive materials under suitable vacuum conditions.
01 / Configuration criteria
Technology guided by the application.
A short vapor path and internal condenser for demanding separations.
These are configuration criteria, not guaranteed values for every system.
CondenserInternal to the evaporator
Vapor pathShort travel distance
Pressure regimeHigh vacuum; final levels depend on configuration
Product fractionsDistillate and concentrated residue
Design basisBoiling characteristics, sensitivity and separation target
02 / Application areas
Where these systems are applied
Cosmetic & specialty oils
Processing of squalene, selected oils and fine cosmetic fractions.
Vitamins & functional ingredients
Gentle separation of temperature-sensitive, high-boiling components.
Natural waxes & resin derivatives
Fractionation of waxes, resin-related products and viscous fractions.
Specialty chemical fractions
Separation duties involving high-boiling additives and specialty compounds.
03 / System technology
A shorter vapor path. A different separation principle.
The rotating wiper spreads feed across the heated wall. Vapor moves a short distance to a condenser located inside the evaporator, while less volatile residue continues to the separate bottom outlet.
