Since their introduction more than 50 years ago by Luwa and Samesreuther, today KEP Engineering is manufacturing Thin film Evaporator, generally called as Agitated thin film dryer.
Specifications : Operating pressure from atmosphere down to 1 Ton vacuum
Operating temperature up to 300 oC
Advantages :
Suitable to high vacuum distillation with very low residence time. Narrow spread Avoid product re-circulation and possible degradation Apt for viscous products Ideal for hazardous applications
Applications :
Vacuum Distillation Drying Solvent Recovery Concentration of bulk drugs, enzymes, juice, milk product etc.
Features v Agitated thin Film Evaporator differ in the following main technical features from other evaporator types: Continuous and trouble-free processing of viscous, fouling and contaminated fluids by high turbulence in the liquid film, which also reduces the required temperature difference across the heating surface; v Gentle product treatment because of the short residence time and the narrow residence time spectrum in the whole equipment; v High evaporation performance because of high surface heat flux; v High evaporation ratio in a single pass; v Minimum losses in case of product change because of the low hold-up.
