High-Performance Glass Thin Film Evaporator for Molecular Distillation

The Ai TG-6 Glass Thin Film Distillation System is a high-precision short path / wiped film molecular distillation system designed for efficient separation and purification of heat-sensitive compounds under high vacuum conditions.

Built with borosilicate glass 3.3, stainless steel components, and food-grade Viton gaskets, the TG-6 provides exceptional corrosion resistance while allowing full visibility of the distillation process through its transparent glass construction.

This advanced thin film evaporator system uses PTFE rollers or wiping blades to spread a uniform thin film across the heated evaporator surface, maximizing evaporation efficiency while minimizing thermal degradation of sensitive materials.

With a throughput of 2L–5L per hour, the TG-6 is ideal for pharmaceutical research, botanical extraction, cannabinoid distillation, essential oil purification, chemical processing, and laboratory-scale molecular distillation applications.

Pricing includes professional on-site installation within the contiguous United States, ensuring proper system setup and safe operation.

Key Features of the Ai TG-6 Glass Thin Film Distillation System

Complete Thin Film Distillation System with On-Site Installation

System price includes professional installation within the contiguous 48 United States.

High-Efficiency Thin Film Evaporation

Precision PTFE rollers or wiping blades create a uniform thin film across the heated evaporator surface for maximum evaporation efficiency and minimal residue buildup.

Transparent Borosilicate Glass System

Constructed with high-quality borosilicate glass 3.3, allowing operators to visually monitor the entire distillation process.

Magnetic Coupling Motor Drive

The magnetic coupling seal design eliminates shaft seals and enables extremely high vacuum levels while preventing leaks.

Agilent High Vacuum System

Equipped with Agilent diffusion pump and high-vacuum gauge, delivering excellent vacuum performance for molecular distillation.

Integrated Cooling & Heating System

Includes a PolyScience immersion cooler capable of reaching -80°C, eliminating the need for dry ice during operation.

Stainless Steel Structural Frame

Heavy-duty stainless steel mounting frame with swivel casters and leveling feet ensures mobility and stability.

Pre-Installed Tubing & Fluid Connections

Cooling and heating tubing comes pre-installed with clearly labeled fluid flow directions and M16 connection ports for simplified installation.

Auto Delay Safety Circuit

Protects the diffusion pump by allowing proper cooling before shutdown.

Important Safety Guidelines

⚠ Always follow proper operating procedures when using thin film distillation equipment.

• Never fill circulated heaters or chillers with water — always use recommended thermal fluids.

• Leave sufficient space in heater reservoirs to allow for thermal expansion.

• Always keep vacuum passage or drain valve open during heating cycles.

• Ensure vacuum pump oil and diffusion pump fluid are clean and within operational limits.

Cold traps should only be used with:

• Dry ice

• A cold finger chiller such as IP-80 or TC100/TC100E

Always wear proper PPE when handling dry ice.
