Overview
A rotary thin-film evaporator is an industrial heat exchange device designed for continuous evaporation of heat-sensitive liquids. Constructed primarily from stainless steel 316L and compliant with ASME standards, it utilizes a rotating wiper to maintain a thin film on the heated surface.
Application
- Pharmaceuticals: Concentration of antibiotics and vitamins.
- Food Processing: Juice concentration and flavor extraction.
- Chemicals: Solvent recovery and polymer purification.
Precautions
- Ensure proper grounding to prevent static discharge during operation.
- Replace mechanical seals and wiper blades periodically based on wear indicators.
- Maintain strict temperature control to avoid thermal degradation of products.
