AYAN-F60 Laboratory Short Path Molecular Distillation System
Product Overview
The AYAN-F60 Laboratory Short Path Molecular Distillation System is designed for the separation and purification of high-boiling-point, heat-sensitive, and easily oxidized materials. It operates under high vacuum conditions at temperatures significantly below the normal boiling points of materials, minimizing thermal exposure and reducing the risk of oxidation or degradation.
Using a thin-film evaporation process, the system enables efficient separation of components with different molecular weights and evaporation characteristics. Its short material residence time, high heat-transfer efficiency, and low operating pressure make it suitable for removing residual solvents, odors, and other volatile impurities.
With a 0.06 m² evaporation area and adjustable heating temperatures from room temperature to 200°C, the AYAN-F60 is suitable for laboratory-scale experiments and pilot-scale process development. Customized configurations with larger evaporation areas are also available.

Key Features
• Low-Temperature Operation: Operates at temperatures well below conventional boiling points, making it suitable for heat-sensitive and high-boiling-point materials.
• Short Residence Time: Minimizes material exposure to heat, helping reduce thermal degradation and oxidation.
• High Vacuum Performance: Supports vacuum operation below 0.1 Pa in the evaporation chamber under suitable operating conditions, with a specified unloaded vacuum level of below 10 Pa.
• Efficient Thin-Film Evaporation: Produces liquid films thinner than 0.5 mm, improving heat transfer and evaporation efficiency.
• Selective Separation: Enables the removal of solvents, odors, and other volatile components. Multiple separation stages can be used to separate more than two components.
• Corrosion-Resistant Construction: The scraper system is made of PTFE and SS316L stainless steel for improved chemical resistance.
• Adjustable Feed Preheating: The feed tank can be optionally equipped with an adjustable preheating function.
• Flexible Configuration: Available in different specifications for laboratory and pilot-scale applications, with customized larger evaporation areas upon request.
• Clean Physical Separation: Uses a physical separation process without introducing additional chemical reagents, helping minimize contamination and residual substances.

Working Principle
The AYAN-F60 operates based on the principle of molecular distillation under high vacuum conditions.
The feed material enters the evaporation chamber and spreads into a thin liquid film across the heated inner wall through a rotating scraper system. Under reduced pressure, volatile molecules escape directly from the liquid surface without requiring the entire liquid to reach its conventional boiling point.
The evaporated molecules travel a short distance to the internal condenser, where they cool and condense into liquid. The separated fractions are then collected in their respective receiving vessels.
Because the evaporation and condensation surfaces are close together, the vapor travel distance is short. Combined with high vacuum conditions and a short residence time, this process is particularly suitable for separating heat-sensitive and high-boiling-point substances.

Comparison

Comparison Parameter	Short Path Molecular Distillation	Conventional Distillation
Operating Pressure	High vacuum	Atmospheric or reduced pressure
Operating Temperature	Can be significantly lower than conventional boiling temperatures	Generally closer to the boiling point under operating pressure
Material Residence Time	Short	Generally longer
Evaporation Method	Surface evaporation in a thin liquid film	Vaporization through bulk liquid boiling
Heat-Sensitive Materials	Particularly suitable	Greater risk of thermal degradation
Vapor Travel Distance	Very short	Generally longer
Typical Applications	High-boiling-point and heat-sensitive material purification	Solvent recovery and general liquid separation

The AYAN-F60 is particularly advantageous when minimizing thermal exposure and reducing material residence time are important. Conventional distillation remains suitable for many routine solvent recovery and liquid separation processes.
