Distillation systems without an enclosure cabinet have an optional mounting system on a rack. The table below gives a brief comparison.
The enclosure cabinet is preferred by some customers because the distillation system is fully enclosed and the cabinet has a vent stack where ventilation can be attached.
However, some customers prefer to mount the distillation system on their existing lab rack or to mount the distillation system on the B/R lab rack option. This lab rack allows easy access to the distillation system.
The manual distillation system is ideal for customers who have a very limited budget and have manpower available to manually operate the equipment.
Other types of configurations are available upon request. An example is shown to the right of a 50 liter 9600 system. It is mounted in a custom rack with a four place fraction collector, four 19 liter receivers, vacuum system and circulating bath.
