22 LITER LPD VACUUM STILL
A1-FX22 LPD
The APICAL A1-FX22 Long Path Distillation system stands on top of the field when considering the precision, purity & production speeds of fractional vacuum separations.
Guaranteed purities exceeding 90%, separating low, heavy and near molecular weight compounds.
Systems built to cGMP standards for consistent production and OSHA guidelines for safety.
Distillation column designed for bump & heavy molecular weight rejection, making for easier operation.
Gear pump ejection reduces operator interaction, particularly under high output.
Apical has taken years of validated field experience and product trials to develop practical technologies that work every day. We combine academic principles with cutting-edge design to provide equipment that can be relied on for years to come with safe, easy operation, high throughputs and consistent product.
The APICAL A1-FX22 LPD is a 22L system with an alternative 5L configuration available, the A1-FX05 LPD.
The A1-FX22 LPD utilizes a 100mm-wide vapor column and triple-wall vacuum insulation built for significant reflux and separation capability. The column is optimized to fully utilize every watt your mantle can throw at it while distilling >90% pure distillate from the main body of your crude oils.
The A1-FX22 LPD system is designed to maintain its wide-bore 2” ID tubing throughout with minimal changes in the vacuum path. This fully utilizes the precise vacuum system, maximizing the potential of your vacuum components and ensuring throughputs exceeding 2 liters per hour of high-purity distillate.
No myths about residence time, degradation or physics, no designs with built-in obsolescence, no exaggerations about system capabilities or pay-to-play obstacles to efficient processing.
Apical has tested a wide range of designs under production settings to pierce the veil and remove the mystique around botanical distillations so business operators can focus on the customer and not a daily headache.

A1-FX100 FD features:
-
Turbulent design makes full use of column’s 15” height, refluxing undesirable heavy molecules while maintaining a high vapor load without flooding the column.
-
Retains heat & energy within the system to maximize efficiency while protecting from touch burns per OSHA standards and allowing the operator to see what is happening.
-
Reduces impedance on vapor path which improves vacuum depth and overall throughput.
-
Increases efficiency of recirculator, balances temperature throughout condenser to improve condenser capacity and is vacuum-insulated to prevent touch burns.
-
Tubing where hot liquid can potentially pass or collect is vacuum insulated to prevent touch burns.
-
Fitted for deep-vacuum, durability and easy assembly/disassembly, these junctures are fitted with PTFE centering rings & composite clamps.
-
American-made components known for consistency and longevity.
-
Principle glassware is meant to be permanently installed on the lattice to limit operator interaction.
-
Reflux of common solvents keeps systems looking and performing brand new for years to come.
-
22L boiling flask is easily removed & replaced for cleaning and new batches without system disassembly.
-
Distillates can be collected in batch flasks that can be separated from the system during production.
-
Distillates can be continuously ejected from the system while in production.
