    Short-path Evaporator

     

    The shortest route to maximum evaporation performance when distilling and separating special media

    The GIG Karasek short-path evaporator has a particularly wide range of applications in the field of gentle evaporation of sensitive substances. 

    This special apparatus is primarily used for the distillative purification of many challenging substances that could not be separated using conventional methods.

    The short-path evaporator can achieve an extremely fine vacuum for distillation at pressures as low as 0.001 mbar absolute.

    ADVANTAGES

    • Particularly gentle evaporation due to low pressure losses
    • High boilers do not reach the condenser thanks to efficient droplet separators
    • For the distillative purification of many challenging substances that cannot be separated using conventional thermal processes

    Functional principle

    The basic functionality of our thin-film evaporators can also be found in our short-path evaporators. The difference is a condenser integrated into the device. This principle keeps the vapor path to the condenser particularly short, minimizes pressure losses, and enables operation in fine and high vacuums.
