Short-Path Distillation System

Model: RSP-SD

The proposed FLOSN RSP-SD is a laboratory wiped-film short-path platform for feasibility studies on compatible low-volatility or thermally sensitive mixtures. Metered feed forms a thin film on the heated wall, while a central condenser collects vapor over a short travel distance. Separate distillate and residue receivers support mass-balance evaluation. The baseline is a small continuous-feed trial system with finite collection capacity, not an unlimited continuous-production plant.

FLOSN / PRODUCT FEATURES

Product Features

6 FEATURES

True Internal Condenser Layout

Keeps the main condensing surface inside the evaporator rather than using an external condenser as the defining element.

Controlled Film Formation

Variable wiper speed and metered feeding support trials on film coverage and fouling.

Independent Thermal Circuits

Separately sets evaporator-wall and internal-condenser conditions.

Separated Product Streams

Distinct collection paths support distillate/residue yield and composition measurements.

Visible Process Development

Guarded glass construction permits observation of film distribution, foam and deposition.

Vapor-Load-Aware Vacuum

Cold trapping, line conductance and feed rate are assessed together.
