Short Path Distillation Kit

Precision Purification for Cannabis Extracts, Achieve >90% THC/CBD Purity, Zero Clogs, Scalable Output

Your Professional Short Path Distillation Kit Manufacturer

HiURTB short path distillation kit, also called cannabis distillate equipment, is engineered exclusively for premium cannabis distillate production.
HiURTB cannabis short path distillation kit achieves consistent 90%+ THC/CBD purity with industry-leading efficiency, and was designed for extractors who refuse to compromise between yield, quality, and equipment reliability.

Why Top-Tier Processors Standardize on HiURTB cannabis distillation equipment?
Our wide-vapor-path distillation heads conquer viscous cannabis oils, guaranteeing zero clogs even when processing high-terpene crude extracts.

Automated fraction switching at cannabinoid-specific boiling points (THC: 157°C@0.001mbar / CBD: 187°C@0.001mbar) eliminates manual guesswork while ensuring batch consistency.
Precision ±0.5°C temperature control combined with vacuum-jacketed insulation actively prevents terpene degradation during critical fractionation stages.

Military-spec seals and 4.2mm borosilicate 3.3 glass endure 500+ thermal cycles, delivering uncompromised reliability in 24/7 winterization workflows.

HiURTB offers a variety of capacity specifications, including 2L, 5L, 10L, and larger custom sizes to meet the needs of different scales from R&D, small trial, to pilot, and mass production. With industry-leading evaporation surfaces (78 cm² for 2L to 510 cm² for 10L), HiURTB Short Path Distillation kits process oils 20-40% faster than same-capacity competitors.

HiURTB short path kit is the core of purification process.

Cannabis Commercial Extractors Standardize on HiURTB

Why do generic distillation kits fail cannabis extractors?

Cannabinoid refinement demands unique precision – viscous oils clog narrow paths; delicate terpenes degrade at wrong temperatures; purity standards exceed 90%.

HiURTB short path distillation kit does not bring you these pains.

Wider vapor channels prevent costly CBD/THC oil clogs. Vacuum-jacketed heads maintain exact fractionation temps for terpene preservation. Calibrated controllers hit cannabinoid-specific boiling points (±0.5°C) for batch-to-batch consistency.

Pharma-Grade Resilience for Nonstop Extraction Cycles

Pharma-Grade Resilience for Nonstop Extraction Cycles

Commercial cannabis processing doesn’t stop – and neither should your cannabis distillation equipment.

Cheap glass cracks under thermal stress. Inferior seals leak vacuum pressure. Downtime means lost biomass and revenue.

HiURTB short path distillation kit’s borosilicate 3.3 glass walls (40% thicker than industry standard) withstand daily thermal shocks. Military-spec gaskets resist solvent corrosion where rubber fails. Every joint undergoes vacuum integrity testing pre-shipment.

Result? HiURTB short path distillation kits that endure 24/7 winterization and distillation runs – protecting your investment and your profit margins.

How to use a short path distillation kit?

Step 1: Prep & Seal Up Tight

Grease all glass joints (boiling flask → head → condenser) with high-vacuum grease. Or there are leaks.

Hook up the vacuum pump through a cold trap.

Leak test must pass: Hit <50 millitorr (<0.067 mbar) within 10 mins.

If not, re-grease joints.

Set chiller to 5-15°C.

Step 2:  Load & Ramp Heat Smart

Pour winterized crude oil into boiling flask (max 50% of full. Overfill causes blowouts.).

Gradually heat to 80-120°C under vacuum to capture terpenes first.

Step 3: Fraction Cutting

Terpene Fraction (80-120°C) → Collect in first receiver

golden rule: low temp means flavor saver.

THC/CBD Fraction (150-200°C) → Switch to second receiver

Why 150°C not 160°?

Vacuum drops boiling points. e.g., THC boils at 157°C@0.001mbar.

Step 4: Observe

Watch condensate:

Clear & honey-like? Good.

Milky? Contamination. Need to stop and fix.

Pro move: Use multi-flask receivers to grab fractions hands-free.

Step 5: Safe Shutdown

Cool below 60°C BEFORE releasing vacuum (or shattering glass).

Flush the cold trap with ethanol to rescue trapped terps.

HiURTB Shortcut

Our short path distillation kits have pre-loaded “1-Click Distill” programs:

Auto-switches fractions at perfect temps → 90%+ purity every run

When to use short path distillation?

Short path distillation is good for achieving exceptional purity and precision, especially for sensitive compounds.

Achieving Ultra-High Purity: cannabinoid concentrations exceeding 90% (like THC or CBD distillate).

Preserving Delicate Compounds: capturing volatile terpenes or isolating heat-sensitive molecules that degrade at higher temperatures, because of low-temperature vacuum operation.

Separating Close Relatives: Effectively fractionates compounds with very similar boiling points (e.g., isolating THC from CBN or specific minor cannabinoids).

Common Uses in Cannabis Processing:

* Refining crude cannabis oil into high-purity THC or CBD distillate.

* Purifying and isolating CBD from full-spectrum extracts.

* Carefully capturing strain-specific aromatic terpene profiles from extracts.

* Eliminating contaminants like pesticides, chlorophyll, or plant waxes for a cleaner final product.

When Not to Use Short Path Distillation:

If daily throughput exceeds roughly 100 liters, more scalable options like wiped-film distillation (WFE) will be better.

If crude oil has a high phospholipid content (often making it very viscous or “gummy”), winterization or dewaxing is essential before using the short path distillation kit to prevent fouling the equipment.

What purity levels can I achieve with HiURTB short path distillation kits for THC/CBD?

Cannabinoid purity exceeding 90%+, starting from crude oil.

Our 10L short path distillation kit can hit up to 99% purity with optimized protocols, perfect for producing premium, golden distillate.

Why is "zero clogging" critical for cannabis oil?

Some cannabis oils are thick and sticky.

Standard distillation kits with narrow vapor paths often clog mid-run.

HiURTB short path distillation kits feature wider-diameter vapor paths.

This design eliminates blockages, proven through 2,000+ hours of real-world extractor testing.

Can I scale from 2L to 10L without retraining staff?

Yes. Whether you’re running our compact 2L R&D short path distillation kit or a full-scale 10L commercial distillation system, the control interfaces and core workflows are identical.

Your staff can use the same standard operating procedures (SOPs) they already know.

Are cold traps necessary? Which model (T1/T40) fits my pump?

Yes, cold traps are necessary for pump protection.

The traps capture volatile terpenes and residual solvents before they wreck the vacuum pump.

How to match them to your setup?

T1 Trap: For 3-5 CFM pumps (like with our 2L or 5L short path distillation kit).

T40 Trap: For 8-12 CFM pumps (required for our 10L short path distillation kit).

How does your glass handle daily thermal stress vs. competitors?

Every HiURTB short path kit features heavy-wall borosilicate 3.3 glass, 40% thicker than the flimsy industry standard.

Our glass lasts over twice as long as typical competitors.

What vacuum level is required for optimal THC/CBD separation?

0.001 to 5 mbar is the sweet spot for precision cannabinoid fractionation.

All HiURTB short path distillation kits include GL-16 vacuum adapters, ensuring compatibility with nearly any lab-grade or industrial pump.

Pro Tip: For a terpene-sensitive process, pair with oil-free diaphragm pumps to prevent contamination and preserve those delicate aromas.

Can I distill ethanol-extracted crude oil without degrading terpenes?

Yes. HiURTB short path distillation kits maintain ±0.5°C temperature control to fractionate low-boiling terpenes before cannabinoids vaporize.

The 5L/10L models support multi-flask receivers, allowing simultaneous collection of terpene fractions and high-purity cannabinoid distillate in one run.

Are workflow guides included for cannabis processing?

Yes, we bundle detailed, cannabis-specific SOPs with every HiURTB short path distillation kit:

* Distillation protocols optimized for THC/CBD isolation

* Winterization integration guides for pre-distillation prep

* Troubleshooting manuals covering real-world issues like phospholipid buildup or crude oil fouling

Why is evaporation surface area critical for cannabis oils?

Thick oils like winterized crude transfer heat poorly.

Larger evaporation areas (like HiURTB’s 510 cm² in the 10L short path distillation kit) prevent scorching by accelerating vaporization without excessive heat.
