B/R Instrument 9600 High Efficiency Distillation System

This high efficiency, fractional distillation system is an ideal tool for automatically purifying or analyzing a wide range of materials. Common applications include:.

High Purity Solvent Recycling

	HPLC Solvent Recycling
	GPC Solvent Recycling
	Extraction Solvent Recycling
	General Lab Solvent Recycling

	Petroleum Distillation
	Solvent Purification
	High Purity Fractional Distillation
	Essential Oil Purification
	Vacuum Distillation
	Crude Oil Distillation

This high efficiency distillation system can be equipped with two different types of distillation columns such as spinning band columns and packed columns.

The 9600 spinning band distillation system features:

	All Glass and Teflon Components
	50 Theoretical Plate Distillation Column (maximum at atmosphere)
	1 to 50 liter boiler capacities
	Automatic and Manually Operated Distillation Systems

The spinning band distillation is used for applications that require the highest purity product possible.

Column Specifications:

The 9600 packed column distillation system features:

	15-20 Theoretical Plate Distillation Column (maximum at atmosphere)
	1 to 500 liter boiler capacities
	A variety of packing materials
	Automatic and Manually Operated Distillation Systems

Traditional packed distillation columns are used for applications that require high distillation rates or that require boiler sizes larger than 50 liters. A variety of distillation column packing types are available including various random and structured packing. Packing materials can be made of metal, ceramic or glass.

Automation and Accessories:

All our distillation equipment is available in fully automatic or manually operated models. Manually operated distillation systems are inexpensive and simple to operate. Automatic models are microprocessor controlled. All the 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 distillation. Call up your stored program from one of 19 available memory locations and let the microprocessor perform the 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

Two and four 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.

Cabinets and Mounting

B/R offers a variety of mounting options for your distillation column. The B/R 461 is an aluminum enclosure cabinet with Plexiglass door which protects the distillation column and boiler. The microprocessor is attached to the side of the cabinet.

The B/R 464 is an open frame support structure for mounting the distillation system. The open frame is portable and allows easy access to all areas of the distillation column. The distillation column, microprocessor and fraction collectors are mounted in the framework.

Recirculating Baths

The distillation equipment requires cooling for the column condenser. Cold tap water can be easily attached to the column's condenser. B/R offers heated and refrigerated recirculating baths for more precise control of the condenser temperature.

Spare Parts

A spare parts kit is available which includes the parts necessary to keep your distillation system operating. B/R Instrument stocks all parts for fast deliveries.
