Product catalog summary
Introduction
Buss-SMS-Canzler is a leading international supplier specializing in thermal separation solutions for complex products and mixtures. The company is renowned for its thin film evaporation technology, drawing on the expertise of its predecessor companies: Luwa, SMS, Buss, and Canzler. Buss-SMS-Canzler offers comprehensive services from process layout to after-sales service, ensuring tailored solutions for customers worldwide.

High Viscosity Technology Overview
The company provides Thin Film Processors and Large Volume Processors for handling highly viscous products. These technologies are crucial in processes such as polymerization, polycondensation, devolatilization, compounding, and high viscosity mixing. The products processed include acrylic resins, adhesives, biopolymers, detergents, elastomers, and more.

Thin Film Processors
Thin Film Processors, including the FILMTRUDER® and VISCON®, create a mechanically agitated thin film over a heated cylinder, facilitating rapid evaporation of volatile components. These processors are efficient for high heat flux and mass transfer, with operational parameters including heating temperatures up to 400°C and product viscosities ranging from 20 to 10,000 Pa·s.

Large Volume Processors
Large Volume Processors are characterized by their ability to handle large process volumes and self-cleaning capabilities. They are suitable for products requiring long residence times and can operate in batch or continuous modes. These processors are versatile, allowing for the combination of various process steps within a single unit.

Development and Customization
Buss-SMS-Canzler collaborates closely with customers to develop customized process solutions. The company offers test equipment for use in its test center or at customer facilities, ensuring optimized quality production from concept to completion.

Applications
Applications of Buss-SMS-Canzler's technology include concentration, reaction, mixing, and devolatilization processes. The FILMTRUDER® is particularly effective for single-stage concentration of polymers, while Large Volume Processors excel in polymerization and devolatilization of shear-sensitive products.

Contact Information
Buss-SMS-Canzler has offices and test centers in Germany and Switzerland, providing global support and expertise in high viscosity technology.

High Viscosity Technology-4

Thin Film Processors The FILMTRUDER® and VISCON® Thin Film Processors produce a mechanically agitated thin product film which is distributed over the inner surface of a vertical heated cylinder by a rotor. The rotor continuously agitates the film, creating surface renewal and resulting in high heat flux and mass transfer. The rotor blades are designed to propel the product down the cylinder walls. Volatile components are rapidly evaporated. The large free vapour space in relation to the low product hold-up allows the separation of large volatile rates in a single stage. Large Volume Processors The...
