Vacuum takes the pressure off
Automatic distillation system with self-control uses the hold back principle of pressure regulation and so needs no user set-up
Developed with economy and efficiency in mind, Autodest is a complete laboratory scale distillation system, which does not need a rotary drive mechanism or electronic vacuum controller.
Using Ilmvac's patented Hold Back technology, vacuum is automatically controlled at the optimum boiling point by the vapour pressure of the solvent condensate.
It works with single solvents or mixes and prevents solvent 'bumping' regardless of external factors.
No set up or intervention is required.
Re-circulated air is used to increase the surface area of the solvent mix to accelerate evaporation and the removed solvent is collected at atmospheric pressure preventing cold re-evaporation.
The result is a compact and cost effective laboratory distillation system with the high maintenance components designed out.
A full technical paper on the Autodest system is available on request. Request a free brochure from Ilmvac UK ...
