wiped film evaporator
The wiped film evaporator is a cutting-edge piece of equipment used in the separation of liquid mixtures. Its main function is to evaporate the solvent from a solution, leaving behind the solute. This process occurs within a heated cylindrical vessel, where a rotating blade, or wiper, continuously scrapes the liquid film from the heating surface. This prevents the liquid from boiling and ensures efficient heat transfer. Technological features include a variable speed drive for the wiper, customizable heating systems, and advanced process controls. The evaporator is widely used in industries such as chemical, pharmaceutical, and food processing for applications like concentration, solvent recovery, and purification.
