VKS 95 Wiped-Film Short Path Distillation System

The VKS 95: Commercial-Scale Wiped-Film Distillation

Designed around consistency, throughput, and day-to-day operation

The VKS 95 is a wiped-film distillation system used in cannabis and hemp processing to refine extracted oils into a more uniform distillate through continuous thin-film separation. In this process, material is distributed along a heated surface under reduced pressure, allowing cannabinoids to separate from heavier compounds in a controlled and repeatable manner. This approach is commonly used when processors need consistent refinement without relying on batch-based distillation methods.

Within commercial processing workflows, the VKS 95 is typically positioned after extraction and initial preparation steps such as winterization and filtration. Its continuous operation supports steady production schedules and predictable output, which is important for facilities supplying distillate for downstream applications like vape formulations, edibles, tinctures, and infused products. By maintaining stable operating conditions and clear process flow, the VKS 95 is well suited for processing environments where throughput, reliability, and consistency are key considerations.

Dual-Stage Upgrade

The VKS 95 Dual-Stage upgrade expands a single-stage wiped-film distillation system into a dual-stage configuration, allowing cannabis and hemp processors to significantly increase overall throughput while maintaining controlled cannabinoid separation. By adding a second wiped-film evaporator in series, this upgrade supports higher-volume distillation within existing post-extraction workflows and removes the need to change parameters and run a second pass as you would on a single-stage machine. This upgrade can be performed at anytime.
