"Batch" distillation with plates

DESCRIPTION

Permits the separation of the components of a liquid mixture due to their differences in boiling point. The mixture is heated producing vapours leaving a residue behind. The vapours are then condensed and collected.

Material used resists corrosion.

This unit is made for batch distillation at atmospheric pressure or under reduced pressure.

A user manual and technical documentation is provided.
