Apparatus for distilling molten baths

An apparatus for distilling molten baths comprising a pot-shaped bottom housing part for receiving a melting crucible encompassed by a heating coil, a hood-shaped top housing part connectable in a pressure-proof manner to the bottom housing part;

• wherein both the bottom and the top housing part are connected to a vacuum source and wherein the top housing part comprises a metal condenser in the shape of a truncated cone, which is moulded from a sheet metal blank and of which the bottom edge facing the melting crucible and formed by the larger base circle is situated immediately above a circular or toroidal draining channel or drip pan, of which the vertically extending axis of rotation coincides with the axis of rotation of the truncated-cone-shaped metal condenser, wherein a ball-cup-shaped or truncated-cone-shaped metal baffle element is disposed in the top part of the metal condenser close to the focus of its truncated-cone-shaped lateral surface, wherein the lateral surface of the metal baffle element extends with slight clearance (a) relative to the inner surface of the metal condenser.
