Convert From Batch to Continuous Evaporation

Upgrading your evaporation process from batch to continuous provides significant increases in efficiency, throughput, and product quality and consistency.

Significantly reduce residence times- Several hours down to a few seconds
Eliminate temperature sensitivity concerns
Reduced footprint- Large still vessels replaced with a narrow TFE
Reduced cleaning due to continually renewed heating surface, resulting in reduced downtime in manufacturing
Reduction of harmful stripping agents
Decreased labor and maintenance costs
Easily process viscous materials

LCI Evaporation technology is designed to provide reliable, continuous processing of challenging materials. Upgrading your evaporation process from batch to continuous provides significant increases in efficiency, throughput, and product quality and consistency. All LCI continuous evaporation systems are tailored for your specific process. Our systems are designed with expertise for evaporation and distillation process optimization.

Your Solution Technology

Thin Film Evaporators

Thin Film Evaporators

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.

Short Path Evaporator

Short Path Evaporators

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’s high viscosity processor

High Viscosity Processor

LCI’s high viscosity processor is ideal for various polymers, resins, highly viscous food products and many others because it provides higher heat and mass transfer rates for viscous fluids and reliability when compared to other types of evaporation equipment.

Indirect Contact Dryers

Thin Film Dryers

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.
