Falling film evaporator for botanical oil separation
Processing large volumes of botanical tinctures in ethanol extraction labs requires efficient ethanol recovery systems that can handle high throughput and maintain product integrity. Traditional methods often fall short in high-volume settings.
Efficiently recover ethanol from botanical extracts
The FFE Series falling film evaporator from Delta Separations significantly enhances the ethanol recovery process for botanical oil production. This system supports high throughput, processing 45-60 gallons (170-227 liters) per hour with a separation efficiency of 90-95%, depending on the standard operating procedure (SOP). Designed for continuous operation, it minimizes contact time with high heat, which protects heat-sensitive botanical compounds and reduces the risk of burning. Constructed with 316L sanitary stainless steel and equipped with a liquid ring pump designed to last 25 years, this evaporator is C1D2 compliant, ensuring safety and durability. Its short residence time and the ability to run clean-in-place procedures enhance its practicality in a lab setting, making it an ideal solution for increasing production capacity while maintaining high-quality outputs.
