AGI - Thin Film Evaporator
AGI Thin Film Evaporator (also known as Wiped Film Evaporator) is ideal for separating volatile components from heat sensitive, viscous and fouling chemical mixtures. Thin film, under low pressure, reduces the boiling point of chemical components, as well as the hydrostatic pressure, resulting in the evaporation of volatile fraction at low temperatures. The PTFE wipers form a thin film on the evaporation column and push the film downwards with every rotation. This causes the heat-sensitive components to experience short residence time on the evaporation area and minimal thermal degradation.
The all-glass design of our Thin Film Evaporator allows for continuous visual monitoring, and the adjustable feed rate provides control over film formation.
