Falling Film Tubular Evaporator
A Falling Film Tubular Evaporator is a versatile and highly efficient technology for concentrating liquids, especially for heat sensitive materials due to its excellent heat transfer characteristics and short retention time. It operates on the principle of creating a thin film of liquid continuously flowing down inside the walls of vertical tubes, which are externally heated with steam. Low pressure and temperature steam can easily be used for evaporation which prevents thermal degradation or alteration of sensitive compounds, making them ideal for industries like sugar, pharmaceuticals, dairy, chemicals etc.
