Short path evaporator for high vacuum distillation
In industries dealing with heat-sensitive products, traditional distillation methods often fail due to the high temperatures and long residence times required. This can lead to product degradation and increased operational costs.
Achieve ultra-low pressure for efficient separation
The Short Path Evaporator from De Dietrich Process Systems is an advanced solution designed for high vacuum distillation. What makes this evaporator special is its internal rotor, which ensures high separation efficiency through different arrangements such as rollers and wipers. The elastomers used are carefully selected based on specific product and working temperature conditions. The evaporator includes an internal condenser that minimizes pressure losses and achieves vacuums up to 0.001 mbar. This configuration ensures a concentrated product exits from the bottom section, while the vaporized product is collected through the internal condenser. It’s particularly suitable for the distillation of heat-sensitive products like Squalene, Sterols, Vitamin E, and Omega-3 fatty acids, and for improving color and odor in intermediate chemical products, as well as purifying mineral oils and waxes.
