When your process demands efficient separation of liquids and solids through evaporation, evaporators deliver precision performance across industries ranging from chemicals to food processing. Backed by over 47 years of process equipment expertise, IPP offers one of the world’s largest inventories of ready-to-ship evaporators, sourced from 20 complete plant sites and featuring 15,000+ pieces of process equipment. 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.

Evaporator FAQ
Have questions about Evaporators or our services? Learn more about our products and why customers choose IPP.
Evaporators are widely used in the chemical, pharmaceutical, food, and wastewater industries to concentrate valuable products and reduce waste volumes.
Falling film evaporators excel with large volumes and heat-sensitive materials, while wiped film evaporators handle highly viscous products and achieve higher concentrations.
Regular cleaning of heat exchange surfaces, inspection of seals, and monitoring of vacuum and temperature systems are critical for consistent performance.
