TMC Industries Inc. performs contract vacuum distillation.  Using molecular distillation as an intermediate or final step in the processing of edible oils, waxes or specialty chemicals has added value to our clients products since 1982. 




 

Omega 3 Concentration/Purification
Molecular Distillation of fish oils, algae/algal oils, and vegetable  oils can accomplish deodorization, purification, concentration, etc. of Omega 3's.

Flavors and Nutraceuticals
TMC has the expertise to provide pure seperations of many oils and food flavorings. The short path, thin film separation process provides a gentle and proven method of purifying and fractionating essential oils. Many flavors can be separated using molecular distillation without danger of oxidation decomposition to provide the highest quality products available.

Cosmetics
Molecular distillation of cosmetic raw materials or intermediates adds value to your products by removing undesibrable odors, color, impurities, etc.  This can be accomplished without thermal degradation of your materials.

Specialty Chemicals
Your chemicals polymerize or react at normal distillation temperatures and pressures. Using TMC's technology of molecular distillation, the most sensitive of materials will not undergo change and separation can be done efficiently and economically. Purities can be checked on our GC or UV-VIS analytical equipment for the utmost control of quality.

Resins and Synthetic Oils
Synthetic oils and resins can be purified on our short path distillation equipment. We can remove odor, reaction by-products and colors to provide the best product attainable. TMC has worked with silicones, perfluoropolyethers, chlorotrifluoroethylenes and many other natural and synthetic polymers.

Wax Products
TMC has distilled many wax products.  Normally waxes are difficult to distill as they are solids at room temperatures and distill at high temperatures which can be a problem unless the residence time is of short duration. We are experienced in the processing of both low and high temperature wax products and the problems involved using molecular distillation.

Fragrance Industry
Using either our molecular distillation or medium vacuum distillation we can purify many of your products. We have experience with a number of fragrances both solids and liquids at room temperature. Eliminate any decomposition and maintain the purity and fragrance you desire.

Production Facility




Macro-36 Centrifugal Molecular Stills

Macro-36 CMS stills (centrifugal molecular stills) are capable of distilling up to 400lbs/hr. and are short path thin film. Each has 7 s.f. of evaporating surface and can achieve a vacuum of 5-10 microns giving the following advantages over conventional processing:

  • Low residence time and therefore minimum thermal hazard to decomposition;
  • Low temperature distillation of high boilers;
  • Vacuum deodorization of high molecular weight oils, fats and waxes;
  • Removal of color bodies;
  • Removal of reactant components to improve shelf life.
Pilot Molecular Distillation Service

Pilot Molecular Distillation to develop processes and for low volume production.

• Short path thin film distillation.
• Low cost process development.
• Easy to expand to volume on CMS-36 stills.
• Development done by experienced   Chemical Engineers.
• Experienced with many chemicals,
   nutraceuticals, fragrances & flavors.

 

Medium Vacuum Distillation

TMC has been doing medium vacuum and atmospheric
distillation of many specialty chemicals such as
perfluorocarbons for the last 20 years.
