Increase Throughput

Maximize your manufacturing capacity and efficiency with your customized evaporation solution engineered for your process. LCI thin film evaporators provide increased throughput compared to conventional evaporation methods. Extremely quick processing times and a high surface to volume ratio delivers a streamlined and highly efficient manufacturing process, even for difficult to handle liquids.

Continuous, single pass operation: eliminate multi-stage evaporator processes
Extremely short residence time: a few seconds to a few minutes
High surface to volume ratios: 100 square feet of surface area to 1 cubic foot of product inventory
Continually renewed heating surface means less downtime for cleaning
Reduced downtime: simple design for ease of maintenance and reliability
High turndown ratios for increased process flexibility
Elimination of batch turnover reduces downtime in manufacturing

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.
