Short path evaporator for high vacuum distillation
Achieve high-efficiency separation and purification of sensitive compounds using low thermal exposure with this short path evaporator, ideal for processes that demand precise vacuum distillation to preserve product integrity.
Separates and Purifies Heat-Sensitive Liquid Products
The Short Path Evaporator from De Dietrich Process Systems offers unmatched performance for the distillation and purification of heat-sensitive liquid compounds across various industries such as pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, and edible oils. This specialized equipment employs an internal condenser and rotor system with rollers and wipers, achieving high vacuum conditions up to 0.001 mbar and minimizing pressure loss. It’s particularly effective for separating squalene, sterols, and omega-3 fatty acids.
Operating with very low process temperatures, the evaporator maintains product integrity while reducing energy consumption. By handling both continuous and pilot operations, it ensures efficient processing, suitable for applications like refining mineral oil or improving the color and odor of intermediate chemicals. Constructed with carefully selected elastomers for specific temperature ranges, it offers optimal corrosion resistance, and its design supports easy integration into existing production lines. The evaporator complies with industry standards and includes options for customization to meet specific production demands.
