Manufacture a Safer Consumer Product

LCI Thin Film Evaporators provide continuous, reliable purification and devolatilization of materials to safe PPM levels to provide a final consumer product that meets even the most stringent safety and regulatory standards.

How to manufacture a safer consumer product with Thin Film Evaporation:

Evaporate volatile chemicals down to low ppm levels in the concentrated product without degradation
Short residence time coupled with high heat transfer rates ensure volatile components are evaporated, resulting in consumer products that can meet stringent specifications
Mass transfer is maximized utilizing high heat, rapid surface renewal, and deep vacuum with limited back mixing
Low vacuum operation (down to 0.001 mbar) reduces operating temperature of the process
Reduction of harmful stripping agents
Sanitary, clean in place designs available
Removal of harmful chemicals such as dioxane from consumer products

Your Solution Technology

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 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.

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.

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.
