Sulzer’s EvapCare-S short path evaporator offers highly efficient evaporation with operational designs that optimize uptime and reduce maintenance needs. These features are especially critical when processing extremely heat-sensitive or high-boiling substances requiring gentle, continuous operation.
Extremely Low Liquid Hold-Up and Short Residence Time
EvapCare-S’s design minimizes the volume of liquid held inside the evaporator and ensures the liquid film is rapidly renewed. This short residence time reduces thermal degradation and prevents product damage, a key advantage for pharmaceuticals, fine chemicals, and specialty products.
Very Low Pressure Drop for Optimal Vacuum Operation
The integrated vertical condenser inside the wiped film chamber reduces pressure losses, allowing the evaporator to perform efficiently under vacuum levels as low as 0.01 mbar. Such conditions protect sensitive molecules while enabling high-purity separations not possible with conventional evaporators.
Simplified Maintenance and Long-Term Reliability
With minimal fouling due to mechanical wiping and short contact times, EvapCare-S requires fewer cleaning cycles and exhibits less wear on key components. The robust mechanical design supports easy access for inspections and maintenance, minimizing downtime and operational interruptions.
Energy Efficiency and Process Consistency
EvapCare-S supports energy-efficient evaporation through high heat transfer rates and effective vapor-liquid separation. Stable operation maintains consistent product quality and throughput, essential for regulated industries and demanding process requirements.
