Type A Glass Short-Path Molecular Distillation Unit for Essential Oils (Lab-Scale)

Product Overview

The A-Type glass molecular distillation unit is a lab-scale short-path distillation system developed for the purification and separation of high-boiling and heat-sensitive compounds under high vacuum conditions. By minimizing the distance between the evaporation surface and the condenser, the system reduces thermal degradation while improving separation efficiency.

This molecular distillation equipment is widely applied in essential oil refining, plant oil purification, botanical extraction research, and pharmaceutical process development.
