Help broken thermocouple

Hello, my friend that makes our distillate has a broken piece and needs some help. She broke off her 34/35 thermocouple for her 12l and cant get it out of the distillation head. Here’s a pic. Any input is greatly appreciated.

Heat her up where the thermo probe goes into the head

Twist it out

That’s how I always get stuck or broken joints out

You mean the broken part is now rattling around on the inside right?

Thank you, I’ll pass the info along

I don’t thinking rattling, ma yeb more so jammed

Evidently the distillation head has heat shielding around it which keeps displacing the heat when attempting to heat and remove thermocouple.

I think they’re talking about the silvering, that only works for infrared, you should still be able to heat the outter part of the glass enough to easily remove the probe
