Short Path Distillation Head HB2 150

The Short Path Distillation Head HB2 150 is part of Summit Research’s HB series, designed with the latest advancements in fraction collector technology paired with a larger 150 mm flanged bore. This high-performance distillation head is optimized for ultra-high speed and precision refinement. Featuring a 45/50 key port and a 34/45 discharge port, it secures to the boiling flask using an O-ring and clamp system, ensuring a reliable and airtight seal. This head is ideal for labs looking for high-speed distillation without compromising clarity or efficiency.

Designed for High Speed and Precision

The HB2 150 is engineered for high-speed distillation, capable of processing up to 6 liters per hour with precise refinement. This head was developed in collaboration with Breaking Dabs (Heisenberg), who rigorously tested the HB series to enhance its capabilities. Optimized for low temperatures and high clarity, this distillation head can operate efficiently while maintaining product quality at high speeds.

Key Features of HB2 150:

• High-Speed Processing: Capable of achieving 6 liters per hour using the proper vacuum setup.
• Low-Temperature Operation: Optimized for operating at low temperatures, providing high clarity and efficiency.
• Precision Refinement: Ideal for labs requiring ultra-high speed and precise separation of fractions.

Optimal Vacuum Setup for Maximum Performance

To fully harness the capabilities of the HB2 150, Summit Research recommends the following vacuum system setups:

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

For further performance optimization, pairing the HB2 150 with a custom diffusion array and an Apollo Vacuum Controller equipped with an inert gas sweeping feature will significantly boost speed and reduce operational temperatures, enhancing overall distillation efficiency.

Included Components

The HB2 150 mm head includes all necessary components to ensure efficient setup and operation:

• Key Well 45 – Enhances precise fraction separation during distillation.
• Stopper Well 45 – Ensures a secure seal, preventing leaks and maintaining optimal vacuum pressure.
• O-Ring PTFE 150 mm – Provides an airtight connection for effective distillation.
• Flange Clamp 150 mm – Secures the head to the boiling flask, ensuring stability during the process.
• High Temp PTFE GL14 (2) – Heat-resistant components designed to withstand high temperatures during distillation.

Boiling Flask Compatibility

The HB2 150 is exclusively compatible with the following Summit flanged boiling flasks:

• BF-22L-3N-150
• BF-50L-3N-150

These boiling flasks are specifically designed to integrate with the HB2 150 head, ensuring high durability and seamless operation for large-scale distillation processes.

Durability and Quality with Schott Glass

All Summit Research distillation heads, including the HB2 150, are crafted from premium Schott glass, which is known for its thicker construction and long-lasting durability. Manufactured in the USA, this glassware exceeds industry standards, ensuring it can withstand high-volume distillations while maintaining efficiency and precision. The robust nature of Schott glass ensures extended service life and reliable performance in even the most demanding laboratory environments.

Safety and Usage Recommendations

Summit Research highly recommends operating the HB2 150 within a ventilated fume hood equipped with appropriate blast shields. These safety measures are crucial for protecting lab personnel from potential glass fatigue or failure. Summit’s glassware is built for durability, but proper safety protocols must always be followed to ensure safe operation.

Summit is not responsible for equipment failures or material losses resulting from improper use. All distillation operations should be conducted in licensed and legal laboratories that prioritize safety.
