Used VTA VKL-70-5 Wiped Film Short Path Distillation System – Continuous-Feed, Single-Stage Processing

Manufacturer Information

VTA

VTA manufactures thin-film and short-path distillation equipment for thermal separation, purification, concentration, and recovery applications. Wiped-film systems spread feed material into a thin film across a heated evaporation surface, supporting continuous processing under controlled operating conditions.

This VTA Model VKL-70-5 is a single-stage, continuous-feed, fully jacketed wiped-film short-path distillation system. The unit was previously used in hemp and cannabis processing.

Description

Available for sale is a used VTA Wiped Film Short Path Distillation System, Model VKL-70-5, previously used for cannabis processing.

The system has a stated feed throughput capability of approximately 1,200 to 1,500 mL per hour and a stated production yield of approximately 5 liters of distillate per 8-hour shift, depending on feedstock and operating conditions.

Configured as a single-stage continuous-feed system, the VKL-70-5 allows material to be introduced continuously rather than operating strictly as a batch process. Its fully jacketed configuration provides temperature-control capability across applicable sections of the system.

Electrical requirements are stated as 60A, 240V, single-phase. The supplied specifications describe the unit as GMP Ready and up to UL/CE standards. Any specific regulatory, GMP, UL, or CE compliance required for a particular facility should be independently verified from available documentation and equipment labeling.

The system may be applicable to permitted industrial processing operations requiring short-path distillation, molecular distillation, thermal separation, concentration, or purification of compatible high-boiling and heat-sensitive materials.
