Short Path Distillation 8 Head 100

The Short Path Distillation 8 Head 100 is part of Summit Research’s innovative SPD-8 Series. Designed for users who need precise temperature control during distillation, this head combines fraction collector technology with a high-performance condenser coil to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of the distillation process. Whether you're working on large-scale or precision distillations, the 100 mm head delivers superior results by optimizing temperature control and maintaining a stable vacuum environment throughout the process.

Advanced Temperature Control and Molecular Collection

The SPD-8 Series 100 mm head offers precise temperature modulation, thanks to its integrated condenser coil. By lowering the temperature of the coil, the system acts like a magnet, drawing molecules toward the fraction collector for more efficient separation. This feature ensures optimized molecular flow dynamics, enhancing the overall efficiency of the distillation process. With this head, users can achieve higher purity and yield without overburdening the system.

Key Temperature Control Features:

• Condenser Coil Functionality: Absorbs heat to keep molecular dynamics stable, preventing unwanted blow-by and ensuring optimal distillation.
• BTU Energy Removal: The condenser coil removes heat from vapor before it enters the condenser arm, stabilizing the vacuum jacketed head’s performance.
• Enhanced Molecular Collection: The precise control of temperature ensures that fractions are collected more efficiently, preventing the loss of valuable product.

Condenser Arm and Stable Flow Rates

The 100 mm head is designed to maintain exact temperatures in the condenser arm, preventing overshooting of flow rates and enhancing the quality of the distillation. By controlling the temperature within the arm, the system helps prevent blow-by, which occurs when the head is forced to overwork due to improper heat regulation. This design feature keeps the vacuum environment dry and stable, further improving the distillation's effectiveness.

• Prevents Overworking: Precise temperature control reduces stress on the system and maintains a smooth distillation process.
• Dry Vacuum Environment: Helps maintain a clean and efficient vacuum in the condenser arm for better-quality output.

Included Components

The Short Path Distillation 8 Head 100 comes with all necessary components for a streamlined distillation setup:

• Head Key Well 45/50
• Stopper Well 45/50
• High Temp GL18s (4) – High-temperature-resistant glass adapters for heat management.
• Flange Clamp 100 mm – Ensures secure attachment of the head to the boiling flask.
• PTFE O-Ring 100 mm – Provides an airtight seal to maintain vacuum pressure during the process.

Durability and Premium Glass Construction

As always, Summit Research uses premium Schott glass for the SPD-8 Series 100 mm head, ensuring durability and performance under extreme conditions. This glass is thicker and more robust than standard glassware, making it ideal for demanding distillation environments. All Summit glassware is manufactured in the USA and is designed to exceed industry standards, providing long-lasting reliability.

Boiling Flask Compatibility

While the boiling flask is not included, the 100 mm head is compatible with Summit's flanged boiling flasks for a seamless setup. These flasks are designed to support the high-performance demands of the SPD-8 Series.

Safety Recommendations

Summit Research advises all users to operate the SPD-8 Series 100 mm head in a ventilated fume hood with blast shields to ensure safety in case of glass fatigue or failure. While Summit’s glassware is built to exceed durability standards, proper safety measures are critical for safe operation.

Summit is not responsible for any damage or equipment failure due to improper use. Users must ensure that all operations take place in licensed and legal laboratory environments, with safety as the top priority.
