Short Path Distillation 8 Head 150

The Short Path Distillation 8 Head 150, part of Summit Research's innovative SPD-8 Series, is designed for distillation professionals seeking precise temperature control and enhanced distillation efficiency. This 150 mm head combines advanced fraction collector technology with an integrated condenser coil, ensuring that distillation processes are smoother, faster, and more efficient. The SPD-8 Series heads are designed to optimize molecular separation and improve the overall distillation experience by maintaining exact temperatures and preventing unwanted fractions.

Advanced Temperature Control and Molecular Dynamics

The 150 mm SPD-8 Head offers unparalleled temperature modulation thanks to its integrated condenser coil. This coil works by lowering temperatures within the head, creating a magnetic-like force that draws molecules toward the fraction collector for efficient separation. The coil design ensures that heat is distributed evenly on the surface of the fraction collector, resulting in more efficient collection and higher purity distillations.

Key Features of Temperature Control:

• Condenser Coil Efficiency: The coil absorbs excess heat, stabilizing the molecular dynamics and preventing heat from impacting the walls of the fraction collector.
• BTU Energy Removal: The coil eliminates excess heat from the vapor before it enters the condenser arm, allowing the vacuum jacketed head to perform at peak efficiency.
• Precision Fraction Collection: The system’s precise temperature control ensures fractions are collected efficiently, reducing the risk of product loss.

Optimized Flow Management and Vacuum Stability

The 150 mm head is designed to maintain stable temperatures in the condenser arm, preventing blow-by and optimizing flow rates. By stabilizing the vacuum environment, this design ensures that unwanted fractions are "bounced" out of the condenser arm without overloading the system. The result is a drier and more efficient vacuum, which translates into better-quality distillations.

• Prevents Overworking: Proper temperature management prevents the system from overworking, ensuring smoother distillation processes.
• Stable Vacuum Environment: The design helps maintain a dry, efficient vacuum environment in the condenser arm, which is crucial for ensuring high-quality distillation results.

Included Components

The Short Path Distillation 8 Head 150 comes with all the essential components needed to integrate smoothly into your distillation setup:

• Head Key Well 45/50
• Stopper Well 45/50
• High Temp GL18s (4) – Heat-resistant glass components for optimal performance in high-vacuum environments.
• Flange Clamp 150 mm – Ensures a secure and stable attachment of the head.
• PTFE O-Ring 150 mm – Provides an airtight seal to maintain vacuum pressure during the distillation process.

Durability and Premium Schott Glass Construction

Summit Research only uses premium Schott glass for the SPD-8 Series heads, ensuring long-lasting durability and reliability. The glass is thicker than industry standards, making it capable of withstanding the demands of high-temperature, high-vacuum distillation. Summit’s glassware is manufactured in the USA and designed to exceed industry expectations, providing long-term reliability for all distillation needs.

Recommendations

Summit Research strongly advises operating the SPD-8 Series 150 mm head within a ventilated fume hood equipped with blast shields to ensure user safety. Although Summit’s glassware is built to exceed durability standards, proper safety protocols are essential for protecting laboratory personnel from potential glass fatigue or failure.

Summit is not responsible for any failures, contamination, or damage due to improper use. All operations should take place in a licensed and legal laboratory environment with safety as the top priority.
