In specialized purification and concentration applications, maintaining product purity and maximizing yield are critical. Sulzer’s EvapCare-S short path evaporator is tailored to these challenges, delivering exceptional performance for highly heat-sensitive and complex substances.
Evaporation of High Molecular Weight Organic Compounds
Many pharmaceutical ingredients, specialty chemicals, and natural extracts have high molecular weights exceeding 200 g/mol and require delicate handling to avoid degradation. EvapCare-S’s short path design with a vertical condenser inside the chamber enables evaporation under extremely low pressures, protecting these compounds and enabling high-quality recovery.
Purification and Concentration for Foods, Cosmetics, and Pharma
EvapCare-S is used widely in the purification of fats, edible oils, cosmetic additives, and Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs). Its gentle thermal profile preserves organoleptic and bioactive properties while delivering high evaporation ratios.
Removal of Residual Monomers after Polymerization
A significant application is the removal of residual monomers which, if not eliminated, can affect product safety and stability. EvapCare-S’s design ensures effective, low temperature evaporation enabling high purity without risking polymerization or degradation.
Advantages for Challenging Separations
With near-zero liquid hold-up and short liquid residence times on heated surfaces, EvapCare-S minimizes thermal and mechanical stress. The very low pressure drop allows operation well below 1 mbar, opening possibilities for evaporating substances with extremely high boiling points, unattainable by traditional evaporators.
