Short Path Distillation Head HB2 100

The Short Path Distillation Head HB2 100 is part of Summit Research's HB series, designed with advanced fraction collector technology combined with a larger flanged bore for enhanced distillation performance. Featuring a 100 mm bore, 34/45 key port, and 34/45 discharge port, this head secures directly to a boiling flask using an O-ring and clamp system for a reliable and airtight setup. The HB2 series is engineered to deliver high-speed distillation with precision refinement, making it ideal for laboratories requiring large-scale distillation with clarity and efficiency.

High-Speed and Precision Performance

The HB2 100 is designed for ultra-high speed distillation while maintaining precision and refinement. Created in collaboration with tester Breaking Dabs (Heisenberg), this head has been benchmarked to achieve a remarkable 6 liters per hour using a dual e2m30 array. The head is optimized for low-temperature operation, providing high clarity and fast speeds, making it an excellent choice for labs seeking maximum output without sacrificing quality.

Key Features of HB2 100:

• High-Speed Distillation: Capable of processing 6 liters per hour with the right vacuum setup.
• Low-Temperature Operation: Designed to maintain high clarity and precision even at lower temperatures.
• Enhanced Efficiency: Ideal for large-scale distillation with superior refinement of fractions.

Vacuum Setup Recommendations for Optimal Performance

To fully unlock the potential of the HB2 100 head, it is recommended to pair it with a custom vacuum system. Summit Research advises the following configurations for best results:

• Sogevac + dual E2M30
• Sogevac + E80
• Sogevac + E80 + diffusion array

Additionally, incorporating an Apollo Vacuum Controller with the inert gas sweeping feature will further increase operational speed while lowering temperatures, maximizing efficiency for high-volume distillations.

Included Components

The HB2 100 mm head comes fully equipped with the following components:

• Key 34 – Ensures precise fraction control during distillation.
• Stopper Well 34 – Seals the system to prevent leaks and ensure consistent performance.
• O-Ring PTFE 100 mm – Provides an airtight seal to maintain vacuum pressure.
• Flange Clamp 100 mm – Secures the head to the boiling flask for stability.
• High Temp PTFE GL14 (2) – Designed to withstand high temperatures, ensuring durability and efficiency.

Boiling Flask Compatibility

The HB2 100 is compatible exclusively with the following Summit flanged boiling flasks:

• Boiling Flask-5L-3N-100
• Boiling Flask-12L-3N-100
• Boiling Flask-22L-3N-100

These boiling flasks are designed to work seamlessly with the HB2 100 head, providing the durability and efficiency needed for large-scale distillations.

Durability and Superior Quality with Schott Glass

As with all Summit Research products, the HB2 100 head is made using premium Schott glass, known for its thicker, more durable construction. Summit glassware is manufactured in the USA and exceeds industry standards, ensuring it can withstand the rigors of high-speed, high-volume distillations. This guarantees the longevity and efficiency of the glassware, providing reliable performance over time.

Safety and Usage Recommendations

Summit Research emphasizes that all glassware, including the HB2 100 head, should be operated within a ventilated fume hood with adequate blast shields. These safety measures are critical to protect against potential glass fatigue or failure during use. While Summit’s glassware is built for durability, safety must remain the top priority.

Summit is not responsible for equipment failures, damage, or material loss resulting from improper use. Users are advised to ensure that all operations take place in a licensed and legal laboratory environment, adhering to necessary safety protocols at all times.
