Electro-Magnetically Operated Reflux Divider

Electro-Magnetically Operated Reflux Divider

The Electro-Magnetically Operated Reflux Divider is a high-precision glass component for automatic control of reflux ratios in distillation columns. Unlike manually or magnetically operated dividers, this type uses an integrated electromagnetic system controlled via an electronic timer or PLC, enabling fully automated and programmable reflux adjustment.

Constructed from borosilicate glass 3.3, the divider offers excellent chemical resistance, thermal stability, and durability for both laboratory and industrial-scale distillation processes. Liquid seals are included to prevent vapour bypass, ensuring accurate distillate collection and process reliability.

Key Features & Benefits

• Fully automated reflux control via electromagnetic actuation
• Programmable operation using timers or PLC integration
• Borosilicate Glass 3.3 for chemical and thermal resistance
• Thermometer pockets for temperature monitoring
• Liquid seals prevent vapour bypass, ensuring process accuracy
• High reliability and minimal manual intervention
• Suitable for laboratory, pilot, and industrial-scale operations

How It Works

1. Install the reflux divider at the top of the distillation column.
2. Connect the integrated electromagnet to an electronic timer or PLC for programmable control.
3. The internal funnel swings automatically to maintain the desired reflux ratio.
4. Insert thermometer into DN2 pocket for real-time temperature monitoring.
5. Liquid seals prevent vapour bypass, ensuring accurate distillate collection.
6. Monitor funnel movement visually through the transparent borosilicate glass body.

Applications

• Chemical and pharmaceutical industries: automated reflux control in distillation columns
• Laboratory & pilot plants: precise reflux management for research or small-scale production
• Industrial-scale distillation: programmable operation, reducing manual labor
• Processes needing thermometer monitoring: integration with DN2 pockets
