Description

The GPCD40 bench allows the study of continuous distillation.

The mixture to be separated will be composed of ethanol and water. The mixture will be sent in the boiler, which consists of 4 heating resistors. The resistors will allow to bring the mixture to a boil, so to evaporate and recover the ethanol which has the lowest boiling point.

The robust design of this equipment makes it perfectly suited for school use.

Its anodized aluminum structure on wheels makes it very robust as well as a great flexibility of integration into your premises.

The manufacture of this equipment meets the European machine directive
