Featuring a vertical condenser placed inside the wiped evaporation chamber, our short path evaporator shows a very low pressure drop across the system. It is designed to enable the processing of mixtures at vacuum ranges down to 0.01 mbar (1 Pa).
In a similar way to a wiped film evaporator, the product film is agitated by a rotor on the inner wall of the vessel. The vapors are generated by heat input from the wall to the film. These vapors migrate to the central condenser where they are condensed as “Distillate” (D). This distillate flows down the tubes of the condenser and leaves the evaporator from the bottom nozzle. The fraction of the film that reaches the bottom of vessel is called “Concentrate” (C). It is collected at the bottom of the shell.
To ensure reliable equipment design and to verify that the desired process performance meets your product specifications, we test your individual process in our pilot plant facilities. If you prefer, we can provide you with mobile test equipment on a rental basis to apply in tests at your own facilities.
