laboratory wiped film evaporation units

Lab wiped film evapoation and thin film evaporators consist of a cylindrical heating jacket and an inner rotating wiper system, distributing the product on the heating jacket as a thin and turbulent film. The turbulence in the wiped film increases the heat and mass transfer to achieve a high evaporation rate at short residence times, often within a single processing pass. The separated vapors are either condensed on an external condenser or further separated in a fractional column. Wiped film and thin film evaporation allow the handling of heat-sensitive, fouling and viscous products.
