Short path and wiped film distillation systems use connections called taper joints that require vacuum grease in order to make a vacuum tight seal. Taper joints also have the tendency to seize up! Pulling two pieces of stuck glass apart can be a nerve wracking task. Taper joints also make these distillation systems prone to […]
Ethanol for easy and complete cannabis oil transfer Extracted oil is viscous and sticky. It requires heating in order to transfer it and valuable residue left behind in the original container. If you have ever run a rotovap, you will know the last bit of solvent always takes the longest to remove. The oil gets […]
Scalable B/R Cannabiniod distillation systems offer a selection of boiling flask sizes to fit your needs. Choose from 1, 2, 3, 5, 12 and 22 liter sizes. Boiling flasks are interchangeable. The distillation system can grow along with your company. Upgrade to larger boiling flasks or move up to a higher throughput spinning band […]
Cleaning a B/R spinning band distillation system couldn’t be easier. Just distill some ethanol to dissolve any residue left behind in the boiler, distillation column, fraction collector and receivers. No need to disassemble the distillation column in order to clean. For cleaning after a run, just load a boiling flask with ethanol, launch the automatic […]
Wiped film (WF) distillation is intended to be operated as a continuous process. Continuous processes have the advantage of running nonstop. Oil is fed in one end and product comes out the other end. But wiped film for cannabis oil is being operated as a multi stage batch process which is on the other end […]
Ethanol Ethanol is its pure form can be quite expensive due to taxation. Denatured ethanol is cheaper but is not food grade due to the chemicals added to prevent human consumption(methanol, isopropanol, MIBK, jet fuel). While some protocols call for the use of 200 proof, many times 190 proof or 95% ethanol can be used. […]
B/R is the only company in the cannabis industry using a stainless steel cold trap. Why would you use glass (an insulator) as a material for a cold trap? It is horrible at transferring heat/cold.* The condensing surfaces in the B/R cold trap are made of stainless steel which has 10 times the thermal conductivity […]
Automate It! The B/R 9200 spinning band distillation system is automated. Shouldn’t everything be automated? Automation takes the guesswork out of distilling and reduces operator errors. Get higher quality product and avoid costly mistakes. Even monitor the distillation remotely. Automatically control: Heating Condenser temperature Reflux ratio Vacuum level Temperature range for fractions Spinning band Automatic […]
The B/R 9200 distillation system is has a been listed by a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory! We’d be happy to supply a copy of our certification upon request. Is your equipment certified by a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory? This industry grew so quickly that many uncertified products have infiltrated production facilities. NRTL Safety certifications are […]
Spinning Band Distillation Fewer passes = Faster distillation + Higher Purity + Easier Cleaning Throughput for a wiped film system is slower since: 3 passes are required 3 cleaning cycles are required decarbing is a separate step oil must be stripped of ethanol before distilling final purity is less than with a spinning band system […]
