Short path evaporation is well suited for evaporation, concentration, distillation, and devolatilizing of products with high viscosity, high boiling temperature, and suspended solids.

A few typical applications include:

  • Pharmaceuticals such as bulk drugs, natural and synthetic vitamins, esters
  • Epoxy resins, plasticizers, stabilizers
  • Fish oil, fatty acids and derivatives, glycerides, tocopherols
  • Fine chemicals, silicone oils, higher alcohols
  • Petrochemicals like base oils, lube oils, pitch and tar
  • Natural extracts
  • Distilling high boiling volatile components from residues containing catalysts in form of fines
  • Fractionating of waxes into hard and super hard waxes
  • Stripping of TDI from Prepolymer
  • Distilling of high boiling volatile components from bitumen
