Fractional distillers are specialized equipment used in the process of separating mixtures into their individual components based on differences in boiling points. This technique is commonly employed in the production of alcoholic beverages, petroleum products, and various chemicals. The process involves heating the mixture, allowing the components to vaporize, and then cooling the vapor to collect the separated liquids. These distillers operate through a series of columns or trays, which enhance the separation efficiency. As the vapor rises through the column, it cools and condenses at different levels, allowing for the collection of purified substances. This method is essential for achieving high purity in products like vodka or gasoline.
