For industrial operations processing heat-sensitive and delicate products, maintenance costs and unexpected downtime can significantly impact profitability and product quality. Sulzer’s EvapCare™-F falling film evaporator technology addresses these challenges head-on, delivering superior fouling resistance, longer run times, and easier maintenance to keep your plant running smoothly.
Designed to Prevent Fouling and Scaling
EvapCare™-F’s key design advantage lies in its proprietary liquid distribution system, which creates a uniform, continuous film over the heated tube surfaces—eliminating dry zones where fouling typically begins. This stable film, combined with low pressure drops and gentle processing, significantly reduces deposits and buildup even when handling challenging organics or polymerizing feeds.
Up to 50% Fewer Production Interruptions
Thanks to superior fouling and scaling control, plants using EvapCare™-F experience up to 50% fewer production stoppages for cleaning or repairs. This improvement not only saves maintenance labor and material costs but also avoids costly lost production time and product scrap.
Easier, Tool-Free Sleeve Maintenance
Each evaporator tube is fitted with removable, precision-engineered sleeves that can be installed or replaced without welding or special tools. This feature speeds up routine inspections, cleaning, and repairs, reducing downtime and lowering long-term operating costs. The sleeve design also supports processes with polymerization issues and can be customized for specific feed characteristics.
Longevity and Reliability in Harsh Industrial Environments
Built from corrosion-resistant alloys, EvapCare™-F equipment is suitable for continuous operation in demanding applications across chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and bio-based industries. The combination of robust material choices, precise engineering, and advanced process control means you can rely on this technology for consistent performance with minimal intervention.
