Model HiVE15 -Thin Film Distillation System
The HiVE15™ is here to claim its place as the most powerful benchtop TFD/WFE in its class. Lab Society has partnered with HVE (High-Velocity Evaporators) again to bring a revolutionary redesign of the hybridized wiped/thin-film evaporator. The HiVE15™ has a smaller footprint yet is still capable of fast and precise distillation, translating to savings in time and resources. This elegant and modular system was engineered with flexibility and ease of use in mind.
Designed for
Cannabis & Hemp
Method
Short Path / Wiped Film
TWO MODES OF OPERATION:
Choose between volatile stripping at higher rates vs. cutting/polishing with higher quality fractions. Quick-release fittings allow the internal condenser or stripping cone to be swapped within minutes.
Short Path Thin Film Operation
(Internal Condenser Installed)
Best for medium to heavy compound stripping and polishing
Maximizes condensation efficiency via short vapor path length
External Condenser Thin Film Operation
(Stripping Cone Installed)
Best used for volatile stripping, higher vapor pressure compounds
Allows lighter compounds to exit evaporator as vapor path is extended
Warranty: 1-Year Components, 30 days for Glass, labor not included outside of the U.S.
