Description

The GPCD15 bench allows the study of continuous distillation.

The mixture to be separated will be composed of ethanol and water. The mixture is transferred to the boiler, which consists of 4 heating resistors. The resistors will allow to bring the mixture to a boil, therefore, to evaporate and recover ethanol which has the lowest boiling temperature.
The robust design of this device makes it suitable for use in schools.
The equipment is set up on an Anodized aluminium frame on casters wheels. This gives it great strength and a flexibility of integration into your premises. The manufacture of this equipment complies with the European standard for machinery manufacturing.
