Artisan Rototherm^®

thin film evaporators that deliver higher product purity and yield

The Artisan Rototherm is a horizontal, mechanically-aided, continuous thin/wiped film evaporator designed for difficult concentration, evaporation, and reaction applications.

Process Benefits

• Up to 99% evaporation in a single pass
• Minimal to no degradation of heat sensitive materials
• High viscosity capability (up to 2 million centipoise)
• Negligible pressure drop and entrainment
• High turndown of 10:1 or greater
• High surface to volume ratio

The Rototherm horizontal design gives you significant advantages over other horizontal thin–film or wiped–film evaporators.

Advantages

• Fully–wetted process wall at all evaporation and feed rates
• Thin film unaffected by gravity
• Higher heat flux due to more uniform film
• No dry spots and minimal to no fouling
• Considerably less solvent required for cleaning
• Readily accessible external bearings and double mechanical seals
• No internal bottom bearing in contact with the process stream
• Easy installation and maintenance
