redistillation
The description sounds more like a process than a machine. But you have more context than we do. It appears to be from a bulleted list and the translation should line up with the rest of the items in the list.

Discussion
There is a machine called a retífica, which is a sort of grinder used to make things straighter (more "reto").
"retificação" = "redestilação de um líquido para torná-lo mais puro" (Dic. Aurélio)
[http://aulete.uol.com.br/site.php?mdl=aulete_digital&op=load...] "2. Ação ou resultado de retificar, de tornar reto: retificação de uma estrada.
3. Quím. Redestilação pela qual se purificam líquidos."
Might "redistillery" work in this situation? But it sounds like you need something more specific... Ah, I wish I had one of those visual schematic dictionaries!
I hope I was able to at least help in confirming what isn't the answer...
