YHCHEM YMD-5S Stainless Steel Wiped Film Molecular Distillation System with Heat Circulators & Vacuum Package — Used

Skid-mounted short-path wiped film distillation system for continuous separation and purification of heat-sensitive, high-boiling materials under deep vacuum. Feed spreads into a thin film across the heated evaporator wall by a rotating wiper; light and heavy fractions condense and discharge continuously through independent metering pumps. Suited to essential oils, botanical extracts and distillates, nutraceuticals and fish oil, fatty-acid fractionation, and solvent recovery.

Used. Full working order, with all components present and functioning, relatively low operating hours, and no major wear. Original investment reported by the seller at over $200,000. Model designation per the manufacturer documentation supplied with the machine. Inspection prior to purchase is welcome and encouraged.
