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

LCI High Viscosity Processors utilize transported thin film technology to evaporate products in the viscosity range of 50,000 to 15,000,000 cP.

Short path evaporation is excellent for gently processing heat sensitive, high boiling products. Short path evaporation perfectly complements LCI's thin film evaporation technology program, allowing us even greater capability to provide the right solution for your separation problems.

LCI Thin-Film Dryers concentrate slurries, suspensions, and solutions such as catalyst or salt solutions and crude glycerin with indirect heat transfer and mechanical agitation of the thin product film under both vacuum and positive pressure conditions.

Our line of laboratory evaporation equipment provide you with a means to develop both products and processes in your own facility.

Our modular systems can be designed to your needs/requirements with system controls completely wired and tested ready for installation on your foundation. Typical scopes of supply include the thin-film/wiped-film evaporator with condenser, heat exchangers, tanks, pumps, instrumentation, valves, piping, wiring, et al mounted in a steel frame assembly.
