B/R Instrument 36-100- High Efficiency Fractional Distillation

Purifying Flavors, Fragrances, Natural Products, and Essential Oils
(25 ml to 1 liter)

The 36-100 fractional distillation system is ideal for purifying flavors, fragrances, natural products and essential oils in the 25ml to 1 liter range.

Key features include:

High purity:
The 200 theoretical plate fractional distillation column can product high purity distillates. For flavors, fragrances, natural products and essential oils, even small increases in purity can translate to large increases in value.

Low pressure drop:
The spinning band distillation column has virtually no pressure drop from the top to the bottom compared to a packed column. This can be a big advantage when distilling delicate samples that decompose easily when heated too high.

Low "hold up":
The spinning band distillation column has less than 1.5 milliliters remaining behind in the column after the distillation is complete. This means that the smallest amount of valuable material possible is lost in the purification process.

Automation:
The 36-100 fractional distillation system can be fully automated. Once the desired parameters are programmed, the distillation proceeds without any operator intervention, freeing up valuable operator time to perform other important work.


The 36-100 spinning band fractional distillation system features:

	All Glass and Teflon Components
	200 Theoretical Plate Distillation Column (maximum at atmosphere)
	25ml to 1 liter boiler capacities
	Automatic and Manually Operated fractional distillation systems

Automation and Accessories:

All our fractional distillation systems are available in fully automatic or manually operated models. Manually operated fractional distillation systems are inexpensive and simple to operate. Automatic models are microprocessor controlled. All the fractional distillation functions are fully automated to make the distillation process easy and efficient from beginning to end.

M690 Microprocessor Controller

The microprocessor minimizes the amount of operator time required for each fractional distillation. Call up your stored program from one of 19 available memory locations and let the microprocessor perform the fractional distillation. Each program can store up to eight distillation fractions. Each fraction has programmable open and close temperature cut points, heat rates, reflux ratio and equilibration times. Programmable shut down at the end of the distillation run. The microprocessor allows easy editing of each of the parameters while the distillation is in progress.

VAC-1000 Vacuum Regulation System

Materials that have very high boiling points or are subject to thermal degradation should be distilled at reduced pressures. The VAC-1000 is a complete, stand alone vacuum system that can provide regulated vacuum to any distillation system. It features a 5 decade pressure sensor, proportional control valve, vacuum manifold/trap, 2 stage mechanical pump, all mounted on a roll around cart for easy maneuverability in the laboratory. The VAC-1000 can be used with automated or manually operated columns.

Automatic and Manually Operated Fraction Collectors

Four and eight place fraction collectors are available to direct distilled material to the desired receiver. Automated versions allow distilled fractions to be collected unattended. Manually operated versions are also available. Various size receivers are available in glass, stainless steel and plastic.
