Scraped Film Evaporator, SS316L Vacuum Thin Film Evaporator for Heat Sensitive Materials
Keywords: Scraped Film Evaporator, Thin Film Evaporator, Wiped Film Evaporator, Vacuum Evaporator, SS316L Evaporator
Product Overview
Our Scraped Film Evaporator (also known as Thin Film Evaporator or Wiped Film Evaporator) is designed for the gentle and efficient evaporation of heat-sensitive, viscous, and fouling-prone materials. A high-speed rotating scraper distributes the feed into a thin film on the heated wall, achieving extremely short residence time (seconds only), low operating temperature, and continuous operation with minimal product degradation.
Constructed from SS304 / SS316L stainless steel with optional titanium or Hastelloy wetted parts, the unit complies with CE, ASME, and GMP standards, making it ideal for pharmaceutical, food, chemical, and environmental applications.
Key Features
Short Residence Time: Material stays in the evaporation zone for only a few seconds — perfect for heat-sensitive products
Handles High Viscosity: Processes fluids from 100 to 100,000 cP without blockage
Anti-Fouling Design: Continuous mechanical scraping prevents scaling and coking on the heated surface
High Evaporation Efficiency: Film thickness of 0.1–1.0 mm ensures excellent heat transfer
Vacuum Operation: Evaporation at low temperature protects product quality
Compact Structure: Small footprint, easy installation and maintenance
Customizable: Heating area, motor power, scraper type, and control system tailored to your process
Sanitary Option: Electropolished interior, CIP cleaning, FDA-compliant seals for pharma/food grade

FAQ
Q1: What information do you need for a quotation?
Material name, feed capacity (kg/h), feed concentration, target concentration, viscosity, boiling point, available heating source (steam pressure / thermal oil temperature).
Q2: Can you handle highly viscous or easy-coking materials?
Yes. The mechanical scraper continuously renews the film on the heated wall, which is our core advantage for viscous and fouling fluids up to 100,000 cP.
Q3: Is the equipment suitable for heat-sensitive materials?
Yes. Vacuum operation lowers the boiling point, and residence time is only a few seconds, minimizing thermal damage.
Q4: What certificates do you provide?
CE and ISO9001 as standard. ASME U-stamp, PED, and GMP documentation are available on request.
Q5: What is the delivery time?
Standard models: 15–30 days. Customized systems: 45–60 days.
