A VK200-40 pilot molecular distillation unit requires an area of approximately 3 meters in length, 1.7 meters in width, and 3.5 meters in height. For operational and maintenance purposes, tools and space for lifting the rotor at the top of the转子 are required.
VTA offers turnkey skid-mounted units. The equipment is fully assembled and tested at VTA's factory, then delivered to the customer's site as a complete unit. The customer simply needs to connect power and basic utilities to begin production. This significantly reduces installation and commissioning time on-site.
Continuous operation processing, with a handling capacity of approximately 10-40 kg per hour (depending on material properties and product process), capable of processing hundreds of kilograms to several tons of material daily.
Due to the use of VTA high-precision feed and discharge gear pumps, no buffer tank is required for discharge, allowing for direct discharge under high vacuum, and the distillation ratio of light and heavy components can be calculated.
All contact areas with materials are designed for heating, with no dead spots. They can handle materials with melting points up to 180°C, as well as processing conditions with light components with melting points up to 140°C, as the discharge area for light components is also insulated and heated.
Two types of scraper rotors are available for selection. The WRS roller-style rotor is suitable for handling materials with lower viscosity, while the SKR elastic scraper rotor is capable of processing materials with higher viscosity due to the loading force exerted by the elastic metal blades on the scraper, which provides excellent scraping and turbulent effects on the liquid film. Over 80% of the pilot-scale equipment at VTA is equipped with the SKR elastic scraper rotor, leveraging its excellent evaporation efficiency. The scraper material has passed the FDA certification.
