Thin Film Evaporators and Short Path Evaporators Back

Thin Film Evaporation Technology

Mode of operation:
The feed product is distributed by the rotor and its wipers evenly over the heating surface forming a thin liquid film of uniform thickness. Highly turbulent swirls are produced at the tip of the rotor blades and wipers with intensive mixing and agitation of the product as it comes into contact with the heating surface. These assure excellent heat transfer combined with constant renewal of the product film, thereby
providing for an even heating and short residence time of the product through the heated zone.

Versatile efficiency and application diversity
The thin film evaporator can be used to concentrate, refine or recover a value product through distillation or similar thermal separation processes. Due to its inherent design features, it is ideal for thermal treatment of viscous
media and heat sensitive products where reduced operating temperatures and vacuum
