Introduction Since their introduction more than 50 years ago by Luwa and Samesreuther, today Buss-SMS-Canzler, Thin Film Evaporators, which are also frequently called wiped film evaporators or agitated thin film evaporators have become a generally recognised and accepted solution for difficult and demanding process problems in the areas of distillation, concentration, degassing, drying and reactions. Buss-SMS-Canzler offers the widest range of different types of Thin Film Evaporators available worldwide, such as: - different types of rotor to suit a wide range of different applications - vertical or horizontal construction - cylindrical or conical design - counter or co-current working principle Features Thin Film Evaporators differ in the following main technical features from other evaporator types: - Continuous and trouble-free processing of viscous, fouling and contaminated fluids by high turbulence in the liquid film, which also reduces the required temperature difference accross the heating surface; - Gentle product treatment because of the short residence time and the narrow residence time spectrum in the whole equipment; - High evaporation performance because of high surface heat flux; - High evaporation ratio in a single pass; - Minimum losses in case of product change because of the low hold-up.
