The pilot-scale VD125-20 film evaporator occupies an area of 2.5 meters in length, 1.5 meters in width, and 2.5 meters in height, with no specific space requirements for installation. More importantly, the maintenance of this equipment is extremely simple, as the disassembly and assembly of the rotor can be done without the need for any overhead lifting tools, making it highly suitable for frequent operation and maintenance.
VTA offers turnkey skid-mounted units, where the equipment is fully assembled and tested at VTA's factory, then delivered to the customer's site as a complete unit. The customer only needs to connect power and basic utilities to begin production. This significantly reduces the time for installation and commissioning on-site.
Continuous operation processing, with a processing capacity of approximately 20 kg per hour, the daily throughput will be quite substantial. It offers a good linear scale for industrial expansion, providing crucial parameters for selecting industrial equipment.
Due to the use of VTA high-precision feed and discharge gear pumps, no buffer tank is required during discharge, allowing for direct discharge under high vacuum, and the distillation ratio of light and heavy components can be calculated.
The prototype film evaporator in the VTA can perform the following main functions:
Demonstrate the feasibility of thermal separation using thin-film evaporation
Optimize the process to obtain design data for industrial production systems
- Can be produced in a miniaturized manner, with continuous operation, processing capacity up to 20 kg/hour
Optimize the performance of the evaporator, including determining the suitable scraper rotor
