—— Design

Different from the traditional wiped film evaporator design, the condenser is located inside the Short Path Distillation Equipment body.

Short Path Distillation Equipment were developed in the 1930s and 1940s mainly in the UK and in the USA. In short path distillation, the produced vapours do not have contact with the liquid any more. The number of theoretical stages is 1 at a small distillate rate and may rise up to 2.2 at a higher evaporation rate. A first short path evaporator is used to distill off a fraction that meets the quality demands, but at a poor yield; too much of the light fraction remains in the residue. This residue is then distilled in a second still where the light fraction is removed completely unfortunately together with heavier components. This mixture is then recycled into the feed stream to the first short path evaporator.

Short Path Distillation Equipment is used to process crude cannabis oil into a purified THC/CBD oil suitable for edibles and vaping. The appeal of Short Path Distillation Equipment is that the cost seems low and the setup appears simple. However, to compensate for the weaknesses of short path (low purity and slow speeds), manufacturers have made many modifications to their systems. These modifications range from extra glassware to additional vacuum pumps that only increase the cost and complicate the proc
