Description

The Short Path Distillation 8 Head FC55, part of the new SPD-8 Series from Summit Research, represents a leap forward in distillation technology. This distillation head integrates fraction collector technology with an advanced condenser coil system, allowing for absolute temperature control throughout the distillation process. The FC55 head is designed for users who need precise temperature management to achieve higher efficiency and superior separation of fractions in short path distillation setups. The result is a system that delivers cleaner distillations and increased yield without sacrificing performance.

Precise Temperature Control and Efficient Fraction Collection

The FC55 head brings unmatched temperature control thanks to its condenser coil, which can actively influence the distillation process. By adjusting the coil temperature, users can enhance the collection of molecules as they are dragged toward the coil surface, behaving almost like a magnetic force. This temperature modulation allows for better control over molecular dynamics, ensuring that fractions are collected more efficiently and at the right time.

Key Temperature Control Features:

  • Condenser Coil Functionality: The coil absorbs excess heat and directs molecules toward the fraction collector for precise separation.
  • BTU Energy Removal: The coil helps remove excess heat energy before the vapor enters the condenser arm, stabilizing the vacuum jacketed head’s operation.
  • Enhanced Molecular Dynamics: Temperature control in the coil ensures molecular flow remains efficient, preventing unwanted blow-by of fractions and maintaining a stable vacuum environment.

Optimized Condenser Arm and Flow Management

The 45/50 thermoport and 34/45 discharge arm are key components that contribute to the system’s efficiency. The condenser arm is designed to absorb as much heat as possible, allowing the vacuum jacketed head to maintain its optimal operational temperature. By controlling the temperature precisely within the condenser arm, unwanted fractions can be "bounced" out, preventing overshooting flow rates and keeping the vacuum environment dry and stable.

  • Prevents Blow-By: Properly regulated temperatures in the condenser prevent overworking the system and allow for smoother distillation.
  • Stable Vacuum Environment: Enhanced control ensures a dry, clean vacuum in the condenser arm, resulting in better-quality distillations.

Included Components

The Short Path Distillation 8 Head FC55 comes with all essential components to ensure seamless integration into your distillation setup:

  • 45 Key Well
  • 45 Well Stopper
  • GL18s (4) – High-temperature-resistant glass components for smooth operation in high-vacuum environments.

Durable and Efficient Schott Glass Construction

Summit Research uses only premium Schott glass for all its distillation heads, including the FC55. This ensures that the glass is thicker and more durable than industry standards, designed to withstand the demands of high-temperature and high-vacuum distillation processes. Summit’s glassware is made in the USA, providing users with long-lasting reliability and efficiency in every distillation run.

Boiling Flask and Cold Trap Compatibility

While the FC55 head is designed for high-efficiency distillation, it works best when paired with compatible boiling flasks and cold traps, which help maintain the system’s temperature and vacuum stability.

Safety and Usage Recommendations

Summit Research highly recommends operating the FC55 head within a ventilated fume hood equipped with blast shields. These safety measures protect users from potential glass fatigue or failure during use. Although Summit’s glassware is built to last, following proper safety protocols is essential for minimizing risks.

Summit is not responsible for damage, contamination, or loss of material due to improper use. It is essential to ensure that all operations are conducted in a licensed and legal laboratory with safety as the top priority.
