Whether you need a falling film, rising film, forced circulation, or wiped film evaporator, IPP’s inventory delivers immediate solutions at significant cost savings.

Evaporators play a critical role in separating valuable products from liquid mixtures. These systems apply heat to vaporize a volatile component (such as water or solvent), leaving behind a concentrated product. The type of evaporator used depends on the product characteristics, temperature sensitivity, and the required level of concentration.

Primary uses across industries

• In chemical processing, evaporators concentrate acids, solvents, and specialty chemicals.
• In pharmaceutical manufacturing, they recover active ingredients or refine intermediates.
• In food production, evaporators concentrate juices, dairy products, and syrups.
• In wastewater treatment, they reduce the volume of waste streams for easier disposal or recovery.

Types of materials processed

• Water-based solutions and slurries
• Solvent-laden mixtures
• Heat-sensitive pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals
• Viscous food products like concentrates and syrups

Common materials of construction

The materials used for evaporator fabrication depend heavily on the corrosiveness, temperature, and sanitary requirements of the process:

• Stainless steel: Ideal for food, dairy, and pharmaceutical applications due to its corrosion resistance and sanitary properties.
• Carbon steel: Used in industrial and chemical processes where sanitation is less critical.
• Hastelloy and other alloys: Required for highly corrosive environments or aggressive chemicals.
• Glass-lined: For highly reactive chemical processes, ensuring product purity and equipment longevity.

Key features of industrial evaporators

• Multiple configurations: falling film, rising film, forced circulation, and wiped film
• Precise temperature control to protect heat-sensitive products
• Flexible operation for continuous or batch processes
• Energy-efficient designs that maximize heat recovery
• Compact or multi-effect designs to reduce footprint and optimize performance
