Feed Control Options for Short Path Distillation Units
Featuring Chemtech Services’ MINI-4/5 and KDL/T-6
There are many factors in determining the optimal feed control option for your distillation process. Short Path Distillation is a sophisticated technique widely used in the field of chemistry and cannabis processing. The efficiency of this process is greatly influenced by various factors, and one critical aspect is feed control. Chemtech Services Inc. has been a pioneering force in the realm of distillation equipment, and our MINI-4/5 and KDL/T-6 Short Path Distillation Units come equipped with a range of feed control options that enhance precision and performance. In this blog, we’ll dive into the feed control options available for these distillation units and explore how they contribute to the overall distillation process.
Manual Feed Control
The MINI-4/5 and KDL/T-6 units offer manual feed control, allowing operators to adjust the feed rate using precision valve. This classic method grants operators full control over the distillation process, enabling them to make real-time adjustments based on visual cues and experience. Manual feed control is a versatile and affordable option that provides a hands-on approach, making it an ideal choice for operators who prefer a more traditional and tactile experience.
Automatic Feed Control
For those who prioritize consistency and process automation, the automatic feed control option is a game-changer. Chemtech Services Inc. integrates high-precision gear pumps into the MINI-4/5 and KDL/T-6 units, enabling the system to
regulate the feed rate automatically and consistently. This level of automation not only reduces the potential for human error but also enhances the overall efficiency of the distillation process by maintaining optimal feed rates throughout.
Programmable Feed Profiles
To cater to a wide range of applications, Chemtech Services Inc. takes feed control a step further by offering programmable feed profiles in combination with a PLC system. With this option, operators can create customized feed rate profiles based on the specific requirements of the distillation process. This flexibility is invaluable when dealing with complex mixtures or varying feed viscosities. Programmable feed profiles empower operators to achieve consistent results, even when working with challenging materials.
Feedback Loop Optimization
The KDL/T-6 units can also incorporate feedback loop optimization, a cutting-edge feature that combines PLC data analytics and real-time adjustments. By continuously analyzing data from the distillation process, the system can make instant feed rate modifications to ensure the desired product outcome. This level of precision minimizes product loss and maximizes yield, making it a must-have option for those seeking the highest efficiency in their distillation processes.
