Item Model/Manufacturer: Myers Lab 3 Centrifugal Molecular Distillation System
Description:
The principle behind the Myers Vacuum Centrifugal Molecular Stills is low pressure and extremely short residence time. Once the feed material has been degassed, it flows onto the spinning heated disc. Distillation takes place in less than 1 second as the material expands out exponentially on the radius of the disc. The residue is caught within a gutter surrounding the rotor and then flows down to the collecting vessel below. The distillate condenses on the outer shell of the still and flows by gravity to another collecting vessel also below the still.
The major advantages that can be expected from the Lab-3 Molecular Still are:
- High product percentage yield.
- Close to 1 theoretical plate.
- Elimination of color bodies.
- Elimination of odor fractions.
- Reduction of acid values in ester distillation.
- Removal of excess reactants.
- Elimination of residual metal catalysts.
- Minimized thermal hazard (a necessity for heat sensitive compounds).
- The still itself may be purchased separately or with controls and pumping system.
The Lab-3 has a 3 inch diameter rotor with a throughput capability of about 0 – 2 lbs/hour. Like the other still models, the Lab-3, with the pumping system will operate around 1 micron pressure.
