Wiping Film Evaporator

Wiping film evaporator for efficient solvent removal.

Wiping Film Evaporator Overview

A Wiping Film Evaporator (also known as a thin-film or wiped-film evaporator) is a glass-based evaporation module where a rotating wiper blade spreads liquid into a thin film on the heated wall, promoting rapid evaporation of volatiles. This design is especially beneficial for thermally sensitive materials, as it minimizes residence time and maximizes heat transfer.

Key Features

  • High efficiency evaporation
  • Low residence time
  • Gentle product handling
  • Various sizes available

Specifications

• Design: cylindrical body with rotating wiper blades to spread liquid film

• Heating: jacket or shell heating with thermal fluid

• Seal: mechanical or dynamic seal for wiper shaft

• Vapor path: short path to condenser to reduce thermal load

• Material: borosilicate glass for glass sections and PTFE or corrosion-resistant materials for wipers and seals

• Operating temperature: suited to solvent volatility (adjusted lower for sensitive materials)

• Utility: heating fluid, cooling condensers or chilled water, vacuum capability

• Capacity: modular scale (lab to pilot)

Because detailed numeric specs are not publicly published, verify film thickness, throughput, motor speed, heat flux, and condenser sizing with manufacturer data.

Applications

• Concentration of heat-sensitive compounds (aromatics, pharmaceuticals, natural products)

• Solvent recovery or purification in high-boiling or viscous streams

• Removal of low-volatility impurities while preserving product integrity

• Laboratory and pilot-scale distillation of specialty chemicals

• Integration within technical glass packages as a high-efficiency evaporation module

Because of its gentle and efficient separation, it is preferred where conventional distillation would degrade product.
