Product catalog summary
Overview: The LCI Sanitary Super LabVap® is a versatile tool designed for evaluating thin-film evaporation technology using small quantities of products in laboratory settings. It is ideal for screening and product development across various applications.
Applications: The system is suitable for sanitary food processing, hygienic pharmaceutical concentration, botanical extracts and fermentation broths purification, dairy product concentration, solvent removal from active ingredients, and lecithin drying. It incorporates clean-in-place (CIP) requirements.
Functionality: The system operates by metering feed material into the evaporator, where it is distributed as a thin liquid film on a thermal wall. Heat is transferred indirectly through steam or hot oil. The rotor maintains the product in a turbulent film, facilitating evaporation. Vapors exit for condensation, and vacuum can be applied to lower evaporation temperatures. The concentrate exits through the bottom outlet.
Customization Options: The system can be customized with additional components such as a feed tank, metering pump, vapor condenser, vacuum system, wheeled cart, piping, valves, and an optional 3A Dairy stamp.
Specifications: The heated surface area is 0.5 ft², constructed with 316 SS process wetted parts. The process area pressure/temperature rating is FV to ATM at 650°F. The jacket pressure/temperature rating is 150 psig at 365°F (steam) and 100 psig at 650°F (liquid). The typical feed rate is 2-40 lb/hr with a maximum viscosity of 8,000 cP.

LCI Sanitary Super LabVap® How it Works… Feed material is metered into the thin-film evaporator at a steadily controlled rate by a feed system suitable for the particular feed material. Steam or hot oil is fed into the jacket for indirect, conductive heat transfer through the thermal wall. Upon entering the evaporator, the feed is immediately distributed onto the thermal wall by the rotor as a thin liquid film. The product is maintained in a turbulent, thin liquid film by the rotor as it travels down the barrel of the evaporator. Vapor exits through the top vapor outlet for condensation in a surface...
