GLR Overhead Glass Distillation Unit
ANTICO GlassDist™ is a corrosion-resistant distillation system constructed using borosilicate glass and PTFE components. The working principle follows conventional distillation with visual monitoring of vapor-liquid equilibrium. The system includes a glass column, condenser, receivers, and vacuum connections. It is used for solvent recovery, purification, and laboratory distillation processes. The transparent construction allows real-time observation of process behavior. It supports operation under atmospheric and reduced pressure conditions.
The system is highly resistant to corrosive chemicals. It is widely used in pharmaceutical, specialty chemical, and research laboratories. The modular design allows flexible configuration. ANTICO GlassDist™ ensures safe and efficient distillation with excellent visibility.
