Technical Parameters
Glass Wiped Film Evaporator – Continuous Thin Film Distillation System for Laboratory & Pilot Use
A glass wiped film evaporator is a compact, visual, and efficient thin‑film distillation system designed for gentle separation of heat‑sensitive, high‑boiling, and viscous materials in laboratories and small‑scale pilot production. Unlike traditional batch distillation, our glass wiped film evaporator uses a mechanical wiper system to create a uniform, turbulent thin film on the heated glass wall, enabling extremely short material residence time, low‑temperature evaporation, and continuous processing. It is widely used for the purification of CBD extracts, essential oils, pharmaceutical intermediates, natural compounds, and fine chemicals.
How Glass Wiped Film Evaporator Works
The glass wiped film evaporator operates under high vacuum conditions to lower boiling points and protect temperature‑sensitive materials. Liquid material is fed continuously from the top and evenly distributed into a thin, flowing film by rotating wiper blades. The heated glass wall provides rapid and uniform heat transfer, allowing volatile components to evaporate instantly. Vapors travel to the internal condenser and turn into high‑purity distillate, while heavy residue flows downward for collection. The entire process is fully visible through high‑quality borosilicate glass, making it ideal for laboratory testing, formula optimization, and process development.
