LCI Lab-Scale Short Path Evaporator Most Robust Lab Evaporator Perfect for Lab and R&D! Short path evaporation/distillation is a thermal separation technique that provides minimal pressure drop, permitting deep vacuum operation down to 0.001 mbar. Short path evaporation is also called molecular distillation while a short path evaporator is sometimes known as an SPE or SPDU (short path distillation unit). Short path evaporation is excellent for gently processing heat sensitive, high boiling products. Short path evaporation perfectly complements LCI's thin film evaporation technology program, allowing us even greater capability to provide the right solution for your separation problems. LCI Lab-Scale Short Path Evaporator Maximum Versatility! The LCI Short Path Evaporator can be used to evaluate a broad variety of applications.

How it Works... In a short path evaporator, the rotor cage assembly surrounds an internal condenser and revolves at moderate speeds. Feed enters through a nozzle at the top of the unit and is spread into a thin film on the inside surface of the shell via the rotor blades. The rotor blades gently agitate the process liquid as it travels down the heated surface in a very short time while vapors are generated on the heating surface. These vapors flow through the rotor cage before condensing on the internally-located condenser. The cage-type construction and location of the internal condenser...
