An LCI thin film evaporator (TFE) or wiped film evaporator (WFE) provides short residence time and open, low pressure drop configuration, allowing continuous, reliable processing of many heat sensitive or viscous materials without product degradation.

Simply stated, LCI thin-film separation technology quickly separates volatile from less volatile components using indirect heat transfer and mechanical agitation of a flowing product film under controlled conditions.

However, technology is but one part of the picture. Between idea and operation, a sophisticated mix of services is strategically arrayed to bring about the desired economic and environmental result. LCI (formerly Luwa Corporation) is uniquely equipped to turn your toughest separation problems into professionally executed, commercially reliable solutions.
