Professional Short Path Distillation

Our short path distillation systems are designed specifically for cannabis and hemp extract purification, offering superior performance and reliability.

What is Short Path Distillation?

A thermal separation technique that purifies compounds based on their boiling points under vacuum conditions, ideal for heat-sensitive cannabinoids.

Why Use It?

Achieve high-purity distillates by removing unwanted compounds like chlorophyll, waxes, and residual solvents while preserving cannabinoid integrity.

Expected Results

Produce clear, potent distillates with 90%+ cannabinoid purity, ready for formulation or further refinement.
