What is Thin Film Evaporator? Step-by-Step Manufacturing Process
A Thin Film Evaporator (TFE) is an industrial device used to separate, concentrate, or purify liquids by forming a thin film on a heated surface. The liquid spreads as a thin layer over vertical or horizontal heated tubes, enabling rapid heat transfer and efficient evaporation, even for heat-sensitive or viscous materials. TFEs are widely used in chemical, pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetic industries due to their high efficiency, short residence time, and ability to handle delicate products. They ensure minimal thermal degradation, consistent quality, and precise concentration or purification, making them an essential solution for modern industrial processes requiring reliable, energy-efficient, and precise evaporation performance.
Step-by-Step Manufacturing Process Using Thin Film Evaporators
- Feed Introduction: The raw liquid or solution is fed into the evaporator through the inlet, usually using a pump.
- Formation of Thin Film:A rotating wiper or distributor spreads the liquid as a thin layer on the heated surface.
- Heating & Evaporation: The liquid’s solvent or volatile component evaporates quickly due to high surface area and heat transfer.
- Vapor Separation:The vapor rises to the condenser or vapor outlet, separating from the concentrated liquid.
- Condensation (Optional):Vapors are condensed and collected if solvent recovery is needed.
- Discharge of Concentrate:The concentrated or purified product exits the evaporator for further processing or packaging.
- Cleaning & Maintenance:The unit is cleaned periodically to maintain efficiency and prevent fouling.
How Vacculex Vacuum Pumps Provide Solutions
MB Series Mechanical Vacuum Booster
Designed for high-temperature, high differential pressure, and high-vacuum applications, the MB Series features a five-point bearing system with dual oil tanks and a nitrogen gas barrier. Internal anti-corrosion coatings enhance durability, and sealing options include single-point or five-point mechanical seals as well as a labyrinth seal for superior reliability.
VSP Series Screw Vacuum Pump
The VSP Series offers variable pitch design, high ultimate pressure, and large pumping capacity. It ensures fast exhaust, energy efficiency, low medium gas condensation, and low exhaust temperature. Features include anti-sticking design, long service life, dry operation without oil or water, and corrosion-resistant coatings for fluid-contact components.
VLRC Series Liquid Ring Vacuum Pump
Ideal for handling moist mixed gases and fine droplets, the VLRC Series comes in all-cast iron construction, with optional 316SS stainless steel. Water or air cooling is standard, and the pump can operate at pressures as low as 4 Torr, limited only by the saturated vapor pressure of the working fluid.
