Description
Technical Parameters
Overview
Wiped Film molecular distillation is a high-vacuum, low-temperature separation process that minimizes thermal exposure - making it the standard choice for heat-sensitive materials such as cannabinoid distillate, vitamin E concentrate, and high-value essential oils. A rotating scraper spreads feed material into a thin film across the heated evaporator surface, while the short distance between the evaporator and the internal condenser allows vapor to condense almost immediately, reducing degradation and oxidation. Achieve Chem's SPD systems are available across three scales to match different production stages:
- **Laboratory scale (NCF-10A / 20A / 30A / 50A)**
- R&D and small-batch trial runs, 15–50L jacketed feed tanks
- **Pilot scale (NCF-100 / 200)** - process validation and scale-up, 100–200L feed capacity -
**Industrial scale (NCF-500)** - continuous production, 200L feed tank with up to 300L/H throughput
All models share the same core technology (316L stainless steel scraper evaporator, gear-pump feeding, coil or column cold traps) and scale up predictably from bench-top trials to full production - full specifications for every model are listed below.
How Wiped Film Molecular Distillation Works
Inside the evaporator, a motor-driven scraper continuously spreads the feed liquid into a uniform, extremely thin film across the heated inner wall. This thin-film design shortens the time the material spends at elevated temperature and maximizes surface area for evaporation - together with operating under high vacuum, this allows separation at temperatures far below what conventional distillation would require, protecting thermally sensitive compounds from degradation.

FAQ
Q: What is Wiped Film molecular distillation used for?
A: Purifying and concentrating heat-sensitive materials - most commonly
CBD/cannabinoid distillate, vitamin E concentrate, and high-value
essential oils - by separating compounds under high vacuum at low
temperature.
Q: What's the difference between the lab, pilot, and industrial models?
A: They share the same scraper-evaporator technology but scale in feed
tank size, evaporation area, and throughput - from 15L lab units
(NCF-10A) up to the 200L/300L-per-hour industrial system (NCF-500).
Q: Can the lab-scale unit's results be scaled up directly to industrial
production?
A: Yes - since all models share the same core film-forming and vacuum
technology, process parameters developed on a lab unit (e.g. NCF-30A)
transfer predictably to pilot and industrial units.
Q: What materials come into contact with the product?
A: 316L stainless steel for the evaporator body, with 304 stainless steel
piping and sandwich insulation throughout the material pipeline.
Q: Is the industrial model explosion-proof?
A: The NCF-500 electrical box is standard non-explosion-proof; explosion-
proof configurations are available on request for solvent-based
feedstocks.
