In modern industrial operations, achieving high evaporation rates with minimal energy input and maintenance requirements is critical especially for heat-sensitive and viscous products. Sulzer’s EvapCare-W wiped film evaporator embodies these principles by offering a robust, efficient, and reliable continuous evaporation solution.
High Specific Heat Transfer with Short Residence Times
EvapCare-W mechanical rotor continuously disperses the liquid feed in a thin film on the heated surface, creating turbulent eddies that significantly boost heat transfer. The short residence time limits product exposure to heat, reducing degradation and preserving quality. These features enable high evaporation ratios exceeding 95% without the need for recirculation—making the process both energy-efficient and productive.
Low Pressure Drop and Vacuum Operation
Designed to operate smoothly under low vacuum conditions, EvapCare-W minimizes pressure drop across the evaporator. This gentle pressure profile aids in handling temperature-sensitive feeds while supporting solvent recovery, stripping, and concentration tasks across diverse chemical, pharmaceutical, and food industries. Operators benefit from consistent, high throughput without overtaxing ancillary systems.
Handles Viscous Products and Challenging Feed Streams
EvapCare-W is uniquely capable of processing high-viscosity liquids and feed streams containing solid particles or those prone to deposit formation. The dynamic wiping action of the rotor prevents buildup on heated surfaces, significantly reducing fouling and enabling longer continuous runs between cleanings, even in difficult applications.
Easy to Clean and Flexible Design Options
Designed with clean-in-place (CIP) compatibility, EvapCare-W makes sanitation and maintenance straightforward, complying with stringent GMP requirements. Options include solid or clad metallic alloys and glass-lined units for extreme corrosion resistance or sanitary applications. The modular design fits standard or customized skid systems, ensuring smooth integration into existing or new production lines.
Proven Industrial Application Success
EvapCare-W is trusted in chemical manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, biotech, and oleochemical industries for solvent recovery, product concentration, purification, and stripping. Its performance optimizes product yield, reduces operational costs, and supports sustainability and regulatory compliance making it a versatile choice for continuous evaporation challenges worldwide.
