PAC just introduced its new distillation analyser. Eighty years combined experience of the companies Walter Herzog and ISL in designing and manufacturing automatic distillation equipment, directed PAC to the development of the most revolutionary automated distillation analyzer ever built. OptiDistâ„¢ is the State-of-the-Art Optimal Solution for
performing atmospheric distillation offering highest precision and ease of use.
Only the OptiDist™ enables truly “one button” straightforward operation. The easy to use distillation analyser with advanced MMI features contributes to a trouble-free operation requiring less operator expertise. Without preliminary trials and manual
adjustment the operator selects the test method and starts the distillation by just pressing the start button.
The OptiDistâ„¢ automatically sets the optimal distillation conditions for any sample through the unique heating optimizer technology. It delivers up to 2 times better precision for all common distillation samples. No more precious time loss for repeating tests, you get
perfect results from the first run even for “unknown” samples!
The optimiser technology assures perfect repeatability of distillation conditions without a compromise on safety. The optimized heating protects flask material from critical overheating, improves flask life-time and prevents from potential fire. The operator also benefits from the environmental-friendly design by the drastically reduced VOC emission.
The versatile design enables multi-methods and non-standard capability and can easily be adapted for different applications. The testing and results are in full compliance with all atmospheric distillation methods. Either standalone or networked, you can start any product group without unit reconditioning and have a flexible and customized
test report with enhanced communication features to LIMS, any printer or a centralized database on a PC with HLIS or ALAN software.
Using the small OptiDist™ foot print allows you to save expensive laboratory space and reduce installation, operational and maintenance costs. PAC’s new distillation analyser includes standard test methods; ASTM D86 - D1078 - D850, EN ISO 3405 - ISO 918, IP 123 - IP 195 - DIN51 751 - JIS K2254 – NF M07-002.
