The KD6: A Reliable Approach to Short-Path Distillation
Engineered to support smooth, steady separation for processors seeking dependable distillate production
The KD6 is a wiped-film short-path distillation system designed to help cannabis and hemp processors refine extracted oils into a cleaner, more consistent distillate. Its stainless-steel construction and controlled film formation support steady evaporation and condensation, allowing cannabinoids to be separated from heavier compounds with minimal thermal exposure. Because the system operates in a semi-continuous manner, it supports smooth, predictable processing for common distillate applications such as vape formulations, edibles, tinctures, and topicals. Real-time visibility into key components helps operators understand how the material behaves during refinement, while optional upgrades—such as enhanced pumping, temperature control, and cold-trap configurations—allow users to adjust the system to their workflow as needed. As part of UIC’s distillation line, the KD6 provides a structured, accessible approach to producing cannabinoid distillate in a controlled and repeatable format suited to cannabis and hemp processing environments.
Frequently Asked Questions
The KD6 uses a wiped-film short-path distillation process to refine cannabis and hemp extracts into cleaner, more uniform distillate. During operation, a thin film of oil is spread across the heated evaporator surface while an internal wiper system keeps the layer even. This controlled film helps cannabinoids evaporate efficiently while heavier compounds remain behind, allowing for a clearer separation without exposing the material to high temperatures for long periods.
Vapors travel a short distance to an internal condenser, where they cool and return to liquid form as distillate. Precision gear pumps and a semi-continuous feed help maintain a steady flow through the system, supporting consistent operation and repeatable results. Because the KD6 is fully jacketed and built from stainless steel, operators can manage temperatures across key components to match their process needs while working within a robust, easy-to-clean design.
The KD6 is designed to refine cannabis and hemp extracts into clean, consistent cannabinoid distillate using a wiped-film short-path distillation process.
The KD6 features a stainless-steel evaporator, precision gear pumps, and a larger feed vessel, offering higher durability and greater throughput than the glass-based KDL5.
