The wiped film evaporator is a highly efficient thermal separation equipment designed to continuously separate volatile compounds, that uses high-speed rotating blades to continuously distribute liquid into a uniform thin film along the inner wall of a heated cylinder. This design enables rapid evaporation or distillation, even for heat-sensitive, viscous, or fouling-prone materials. It operates under high vacuum in order to reduce operating temperatures for high boiling and heat sensitive products. In addition to evaporation, the thin film evaporator can also perform deodorization, degassing, heating, cooling, and other unit operations. Various blade configurations are available, including centrifugal, hinged, and fixed scraper types, to match specific process conditions and requirements.
