The range has 11 product pages: Short Path Distillation Unit, Molecular Distillation Unit, Distillation Plant, Fractional Distillation Unit, Solvent Recovery System, Steam Distillation, Hydro Distillation, Vacuum Distillation, Solvent Rectification and Solvent Purification, and 1 more, all listed below. Open a product page for the details Mechotech lists for that product.

How do the products in the Distillation Equipment Plants range differ?

The product pages describe each type as follows. Short Path Distillation Unit: Short-path / molecular distillation; Molecular Distillation Unit: Molecular (short-path) distillation under high vacuum; Fractional Distillation Unit: Multi-stage column separation with reflux; Solvent Recovery System: Closed-loop reclamation of process solvent; Steam Distillation: Co-distillation of volatile oils with injected steam below their boiling points; Hydro Distillation: Botanical charge immersed in boiling water; Vacuum Distillation: Reduced-pressure operation lowers boiling points for low-temperature separation of heat-sensitive and high-boiling fractions; Solvent Rectification: Solvent rectification / fractional distillation with reflux; Solvent Purification: Solvent purification / distillation-based solvent recovery and drying; Condensation & Recovery Systems: Condensation and recovery / staged vapour condensation for solvent reclamation. Also in this range, without a separate type description on their pages: Distillation Plant. The right type depends on the material and the duty, so the page for each product is the place to compare.
