Falling film evaporator for botanical oil separation
Optimize your ethanol recovery and botanical oil production with high-efficiency separation, achieving up to 60 gallons per hour. Perfect for handling large volumes, ensuring continuous and reliable operation without the need for multiple rotary systems.
Recovers Ethanol and Concentrates Botanical Extracts
The FFE Series Falling Film Evaporator from Delta Separations is engineered for ethanol recovery and botanical extraction in cannabis and hemp processing. This evaporator features a high-efficiency design that supports continuous operation and increases throughput to 45-60 gallons per hour. It uses a laminar film evaporation process, optimizing exposure and recovery rates for ethanol. Designed for single-operator use, it integrates seamlessly into existing production lines, enhancing performance with its quick evaporation and recovery processes. The system is compliant with Class 1 Division 2 standards, ensuring safety in volatile environments. Crafted from 316L sanitary stainless steel, it offers corrosion resistance and durability. Automatic cleaning procedures with CIP capabilities ensure efficient maintenance, while the ability to upgrade from 45 gph to 60 gph models allows scalability. The evaporator aligns with the stringent demands of the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, making it an indispensable asset in high-volume extraction facilities.
