From Lab, to Pilot and Production Scale
Pope Scientific engineers and manufactures an all-encompassing range of cannabis distillation equipment and other post-extraction processing equipment sizes — from small lab duty, up to large industrial production units. Our multistage, stainless steel, fully turnkey skid-mounted systems serve major cannabis production installations worldwide requiring capacities anywhere from 10 kg/hr up to 100 kg/hr.
How it Works: Wiped Film Molecular Cannabinoid & Terpene DistillationWiped-Film Molecular Distillation for Cannabinoids
Our wiped-film molecular distillation systems are optimized for purifying heat-sensitive compounds such as cannabinoids. Operating under deep vacuum with precise thermal control, our USA-made cannabis distillation equipment effectively removes residual solvents, terpenes, and other impurities while preserving potency and product integrity.
Benefits include:
- Short residence times to minimize degradation
- High vacuum operation for sharp separation
- Modular design for scalability and system growth
- Glass or stainless steel construction depending on your scale and processing needs
System Sizes and Capacities
Pope’s wiped film stills for cannabis distillation are available in a wide range of sizes to support everything from small batch development to industrial production. Here’s a look at our most popular models for cannabis and hemp distillation:
Small-Scale Equipment (Glass or Stainless Steel).
- 2″ Canna Still – Ideal for lab trials, R&D, and small production batches. Glass version feed rate: 0.2–0.6 kg/hr
- 4″ Canna Still – Great for scaling up from pilot to small batch production. Glass version feed rate: 0.5–2 kg/hr
- 6″ Canna Still – Suitable for larger pilot runs or small-scale commercial production. Glass version feed rate: 1–4 kg/hr
Medium to Large-Scale Equipment (All 316L Stainless Steel)
- ProPass 600 – A rugged, stainless steel system built for consistent performance at higher volumes. Feed rate: 3–10 kg/hr
- 9″ Canna Still – Designed for serious production environments. Feed rate: 20–30 kg/hr
- 12″ Canna Still – Our highest-capacity standalone system. Feed rate: 40–60 kg/hr
