Description
Technical Parameters
Wiped film distillation is an advanced thin-film evaporation technology designed for continuous separation of heat-sensitive, high-boiling, viscous and easily polymerized materials. With ultra-short material residence time, low-temperature operation and mechanical wiping structure, our wiped film distillation systems effectively prevent thermal degradation, ensure high purity and high yield, and are widely used in CBD oil, essential oils, pharmaceuticals, fine chemicals, food and nutraceutical industries. We provide 5L, 10L, 20L and 50L models to meet laboratory R&D, pilot scaling and industrial small-batch production requirements.

Under high vacuum conditions (0.1–100 Pa), materials are continuously fed and mechanically spread into an ultra-thin turbulent film by rotating wiper blades. The dynamic wiping avoids material fouling and ensures uniform heat transfer. Light molecules evaporate rapidly and condense into high-purity distillate, while heavy molecules flow out as residue. The whole process features short residence time (only 10–60 seconds), low temperature and continuous operation, which maximally protects active ingredients and improves product quality.

Operating Tips
● Pay attention to certain operation procedures during operation, so as to avoid that the whole equipment cannot be used due to improper operation, and the supporting Wuxi Shengze refrigeration and heating temperature control system cannot be used.
● Before leaving the factory, the short-range molecular distillation equipment generally passes the water pressure test and trial operation, and all the indexes meet the requirements. Start the motor and observe whether the motor runs in the right direction. It should rotate clockwise, not reversely. Measure whether the radial swing and axial transmission of the shaft meet the requirements, and check whether the seal is sealed. Whether the oil level of reducer is normal and whether the cooling water of mechanical seal is kept smooth.
● The normal shutdown sequence of distillation equipment is: closing the steam valve, closing the feed valve, closing the discharge valve, washing the equipment, stopping the motor, stopping the circulating water pump and jet pump, and opening the vacuum breaker valve.
● When the equipment has no liquid or the liquid is full, the motor cannot start stirring. It is forbidden to reverse the motor. Avoid touching the rotating components with your hands while jogging. Do not press the button with wet hands to prevent electric shock.
● Try to pay attention to some safety knowledge during operation to avoid some safety accidents, because safety in production is very important.

Structural features
This hinge scraper short-range distiller provides some typical examples of a specific and appropriate concentration and purification substance for the evaporator, as listed below:
Short distance distiller single-stage distillation unit
After preheating and degassing, the material enters the short-range distiller, where the light components are evaporated and condensed on the built-in condenser. It and the heavy components are discharged from different channels.
The combination distillation unit of scraper evaporator and short-range distiller
A large amount of low boiling substances are removed in the scraper evaporator, and the distillation of the product is produced in the short-range distiller in the later stage.

Precise rotor
The strong turbulence generated by the scraper film deeply immersed in the liquid film results in better heat transfer on the heating surface compared to other rotor systems (such as PTFE tubes on large metal rods). The following example is the purification of isocyanates from prepolymers, with a final content of less than 0.1%.
Accurate built-in condenser
Condensers are generally made of coils, U-tubes, or bundles, fixed at the bottom of the distiller. The shape of the condenser and the reasonable gap between the condenser and the heating surface directly affect the separation purity, yield, and vacuum degree inside the distiller. Therefore, HEC company designs different built-in condensers based on its long-term experience in evaporation/distillation, according to different process materials.
Mist separator
The mist separator is very necessary for this product. It can be inserted between the rotor scraper film or placed behind the scraper film. These splash guards support any droplets carried by the steam flow. Droplets are separated by turning and throwing back to the heating surface when passing through them.

The short-range distiller operates under high vacuum conditions and has special requirements for the scraper film and built-in condenser. In order to reduce the thickness of the liquid film and enhance the displacement of the liquid layer, HEC company divides the scraper film into the following two types:
SPE-A Short Range Distiller
The scraping film type is a radial sliding type, which evolved from the WFE-VA scraping film evaporator; The scraper is embedded in the U-groove of the rotor, and when the rotor rotates, the scraper slides radially from the inner diameter of the U-groove to the heating wall under the action of centrifugal force. The guides are evenly distributed around the circumference of the rotor, which is in the shape of a squirrel cage. Dynamic vapor-liquid separation devices are installed between the guide grooves to prevent droplet splashing and entrainment
The scraper material is generally composed of polytetrafluoroethylene, graphite, etc.
SPE-B short-range distiller
The scraper film of SVE-VB is similar to WFE-VC, and the scraper film is tightly attached to the heating wall by centrifugal force. In the SPE-VB short-range distiller, the scraper is limited to prevent metal wear, which is a very important feature. In case of handling color sensitive materials, the non-volatile components of the material flow through the distiller, and its color is not affected by metal wear. This type is widely used, adapting to various viscosities by changing the frequency and quality of the scraper and adjusting the centrifugal force. The scraper material is usually made of the same metal material as the evaporator cylinder, or PTFE material can be used.
The Wiped film Distillation system is renowned for its exceptional precision control characteristics, making it an indispensable tool in various scientific and industrial applications, particularly in the fields of chemistry, pharmaceuticals, and material science. This advanced distillation technology excels in handling high-boiling, heat-sensitive, and viscous materials with remarkable efficiency and accuracy.
One of the key precision control features of the 10-liter SPD is its ability to maintain ultra-low pressures, typically ranging from 1 to 100 mmHg. This low-pressure environment significantly reduces the distillation temperature, preserving the integrity of delicate compounds and minimizing decomposition. The system employs a high-vacuum pump and intricate valve configurations to maintain this precise pressure control, ensuring consistent and reliable results.
Moreover, the 10-liter SPD boasts advanced temperature control mechanisms. Utilizing precise heaters and efficient cooling systems, it can maintain temperatures with a tight tolerance, often within ±1°C. This level of accuracy is crucial for isolating and purifying specific components with narrow boiling ranges.
Automation plays a pivotal role in the precision control of the 10-liter SPD. Integrated with sophisticated PLCs or computer interfaces, the system allows for programmable distillation cycles, automated pressure and temperature adjustments, and real-time monitoring. This reduces human error and enhances reproducibility, making it ideal for batch processing and research applications requiring meticulous attention to detail.
