Key Features
- Throughput Capability: 10,000 mL/h
- Optimal Yields and Potency: Finished distillate contains up to 99.85% total cannabinoids
- Independent Degassing Stage: Separate degassing stage ensures optimal processing regardless of flow rate and feedstock quality
- Fully Jacketed System: Heated from start to finish, negating the use of heating tape or heat guns to keep product moving through the system
- True Continuous Feed: Unique design allows uninterrupted operation through continuous feed into the system and dispenses finished product to atmosphere without breaking vacuum
- Fully Pump-Driven Operation: Integrated pumps provide full operator control over feed and discharge rate instead of relying on gravity fed systems
- GMP Ready: Equipment can be customized according to your URS to meet any local or international GMP requirements
- Expert On-Site Training: Instructions for operation of equipment and proprietary parameters for producing distillate are included with purchase
- Service and Maintenance: Root Sciences offers Gold and Platinum service packages to keep your equipment in top operational condition
Short-Path Wiped-Film Distillation Equipment
Root Sciences’ wiped-film molecular distillation plants are specifically intended for the processing of cannabis and hemp crude oil, with honest and accurate throughput/yield rates reflecting that. Designed and manufactured by VTA of Germany, these machines are expertly engineered to produce distillate that can be used in a wide variety of products commonly found on the market today.
Equipment is available to suit a range of operations, from small-scale labs focusing on the recreational THC market, all the way up to large-scale hemp processing facilities focusing on industrial CBD production, and everything in between.
The VTA VK 100-10 is a large-scale system in the VTA line up and is suitable for processors looking to get into the hemp sector or for those with advanced cannabis operations. If increased production rates are desired, it can easily be combined in series with an additional VK 100-10 unit, doubling effective throughput and simplifying the process flow. This optional upgrade adds redundancy (for maintenance or in the event of downtime) and can also be performed at a later stage, allowing your equipment to grow with your operation.
