6" Falling Film Evaporator - 60l/hr
$20,000.00 - $69,999.99
In stockPrice varies by Option.
A 6-inch falling film evaporator listed at 60 L/hr for continuous solvent recovery, offered as Standalone, Pump Integration or Turnkey. Falling-film geometry spreads feed as a thin film down a heated body under vacuum, stripping solvent at a lower bulk temperature and shorter residence time than a batch still. Standalone is the column and frame, Pump Integration adds the process pumps, and Turnkey adds matched heating and cooling utilities. Pump models and a full packing list are not documented in the source data for this listing.

Description
A 6-inch falling film evaporator listed at 60 L/hr for continuous solvent recovery. In a falling film evaporator the feed is distributed as a thin film down the inside of a heated body under vacuum; the large heated surface area and short residence time strip solvent quickly and at a lower bulk temperature than a batch still, which is the reason the geometry is used for heat-sensitive material.
Three configurations are listed. Standalone is the evaporator column and frame. Pump Integration adds the process pumps. Turnkey adds the matched heating and cooling utilities as well as the pumps. The three are priced separately.
Achievable throughput depends on feed temperature, viscosity, the vacuum level held and the capacity of the heater and chiller serving the unit, so the 60 L/hr figure should be treated as a rating rather than a guaranteed rate for your feed.
Pump models, utility sizing and a full packing list are not present in the source data for this listing and are deliberately not stated here. Confirm the exact scope of the configuration you select, and the electrical service and ventilation the installation needs, before ordering.
Frequently asked questions
What is the rated throughput?+
The unit is listed at 60 L/hr. Achievable throughput depends on feed temperature and viscosity, the vacuum level held and the capacity of the heater and chiller serving the column, so treat 60 L/hr as a rating rather than a guaranteed rate for a given feed.
What is the difference between the three configurations?+
Standalone is the evaporator column and frame. Pump Integration adds the process pumps. Turnkey adds matched heating and cooling utilities on top of the pumps. Each is priced separately in the configuration selector.
Why choose a falling film evaporator over a batch still or a rotary evaporator?+
A falling film evaporator runs continuously and presents a thin film to a large heated surface, so solvent leaves at a lower bulk temperature with a much shorter residence time. That matters for heat-sensitive material and for volumes where a batch cycle would become the bottleneck.
Are the pump models and packing list published for this item?+
No. The pump models, utility sizing and packing list are not present in the source data for this listing and we have not stated figures we cannot trace. Confirm the exact scope of the configuration you select before ordering.
What site services does the unit need?+
At minimum an electrical service sized for the heater, chiller and pumps in the selected configuration, plus room ventilation appropriate to the solvent being recovered. These need to be established from the final configuration, not from the column alone.

6" Dual Sided Falling Film Evaporator -150L/hr - HYDRA
Two mirrored 6″ falling film evaporator columns on a single mobile frame, rated 79 to 158 L/hr on ethanol (20.8 to 41.6 GPH). Solvent evaporation efficiency runs 98% at 79 L/hr down to 85% at 158 L/hr. The turnkey scope includes a C1D1 crude feed pump at 60 L/hr and a C1D1 solvent recovery pump at 150 L/hr, with a CRH-300L heater and a 5x5H multi-stage chiller as the specified utility pairing. Jacketed lines, integrated cold traps and right-angle glassware keep tubing runs short in a compact footprint.
4" Falling Film Evaporator - 25 Liters per hour
A 4″ falling film evaporator for continuous ethanol recovery, rated 12 to 25 L/hr (3.2 to 6.6 GPH). Solvent evaporation efficiency trades against rate: 98% at 12 L/hr, 95% at 14, 90% at 18 and 85% at 25 L/hr. Feed is spread as a thin film down a jacketed heated body under vacuum with VFD-controlled feed rate. Three configurations are listed: Standalone (evaporator body and frame), Pump Integration (adds a 60 L/hr crude feed pump, a 75-100 L/hr solvent recovery pump and a 21 CFM two-stage vacuum pump) and Turnkey (adds a CLC-50/40 chiller and CRH-50L heater).
