The SPE short path distillation unit is a high-efficiency molecular distillation system for high-vacuum separation of heat-sensitive, high-boiling and easily oxidized materials. The condenser is built directly inside the evaporator body and faces the heated evaporation surface, greatly shortening the molecular migration distance and enabling separation far below the atmospheric boiling point. This industrial scale series (SPE-8 to SPE-50, heating area 8-50 m²) supports continuous large-volume production and can be supplied as a complete turnkey distillation plant.
The SPE short path distiller relies on the difference in molecular mean free path for separation and runs continuously under high vacuum. The feed enters the heated cylinder, is wiped into a uniform thin film by the rotating scraper and flows downward. The jacket heats the thin film and the light components evaporate far below their atmospheric boiling point. The evaporated molecules travel a very short distance to the built-in condenser, condense and are discharged as the light fraction. The heavy fraction cannot reach the condenser and flows down to be discharged separately, achieving purification.
