Wiped film evaporator for high boiling point materials
Processing high boiling point, heat-sensitive, or viscous materials poses challenges in maintaining product integrity while achieving efficient separation. Conventional methods often fall short, leading to thermal degradation or inefficiencies, particularly under high vacuum conditions.
Efficiently separate volatile compounds under high vacuum.
The Wiped Film Evaporator (WFE) by GMM Pfaudler is designed to handle complex evaporation applications involving high boiling points, high viscosity, and heat-sensitive products. Characterized by a continuously mechanically agitated thin film of feed material on a heated surface, it ensures high efficiency and reliability. Operating under high vacuum conditions, the WFE lowers operating temperatures to prevent thermal degradation. Unique wiper blades improve heat transfer by spreading the material in a thin film. Additional features include robust drive systems, internal condensers for true short-path distillation, and entrainment separators for enhanced purity. Sizes range from 0.1 sqm to 46.5 sqm to cater to various industrial needs, and the units are thoroughly tested before shipment to meet stringent standards.
