Thin film evaporator (Kontro)
Thin film evaporator (Kontro)
Thin film evaporators (Kontro) are used for concentrating and highly devolatilizing thermally unstable substances and high-viscosity liquids in a wide range of fields, including chemical plants, pharmaceuticals, and foods.
Kontro, which has high evaporation and devolatilization capabilities by high-speed agitation of a thin film even of high-viscosity liquids, has been highly evaluated for its ability to control burning and scaling.
We have a wide variety of Kontro, including Sunny Kontro, Vertical Inclined Blades, and Sevcon.
Demonstration tests using our own experimental equipment are available. Please contact us for more information.
What is "Thin Film Vaporizer (Kontro)"?
Principle
The centrifugal force of the rotor blades thin the liquid to a thin film on the inner surface of the body, which is then evaporated by heat transfer from the jacket and vacuum.
Target substances
High viscosity liquids (up to 1 million mPa-s [cp]), slurry liquids, thermally unstable substances, etc.
Strong Points
- From batch operation to continuous operation
- Low temperature, short time, and uniform heating without burning
- Robust and capable of high temperature, high pressure and high vacuum
- Jacket temperature up to 350℃, pressure up to 10 MPa
- Corrosion resistant, long service life
- Titanium, Hastelloy, zirconium clad, etc.
- 1000 units proven, abundant know-how
- Optimum selection from our extensive lineup
- Horizontal, vertical, scraping, sanitary, etc.
- Rotating blades can be easily pulled out and opened for cleaning in a short time (Sunny Kontro)
- Slurry liquid can be converted to powder (Sevcon)
