Automated Falling Film Evaporator

The Automated Falling Film Evaporator (FFE) offers a highly efficient solution for solvent recovery, specifically engineered for alcohol-based applications. The FFE system is designed to evaporate and condense solvents quickly while maintaining a compact footprint, making it an ideal choice for laboratories and industrial setups looking to streamline operations without sacrificing space.

With a built-in control box, the FFE unit’s footprint is now smaller than ever, measuring 81″ in height, 48″ in width, and 32″ in depth. However, users should allocate an additional 10 inches at the top to allow for easy placement and removal of the inlet and intake components, resulting in a total height of 91 inches.

Safety and Customization

The Automated Falling Film Evaporator comes equipped with integrated safety systems, ensuring reliable and secure operation during the solvent recovery process. This standard package includes a certified remote control box and variable speed-controlled diaphragm pumps for precise operation. Additionally, the unit is optimized for alcohol-based solvents, making it highly efficient in industries like cannabis extraction, pharmaceutical production, and more.

For users working with more caustic solvents like pentane, the FFE unit can be upgraded with a $10,000 pump compatibility enhancement, ensuring safety and optimal performance when processing harsher chemicals.

• Safety Features: Built-in systems for secure and reliable operation.
• Upgradeable for Harsh Solvents: Pentane processing available with a pump upgrade.

Complete Skid Package: Comprehensive Solution

The FFE unit comes as part of a complete skid package that includes heating and condensing features as well as variable speed-controlled chemical duty diaphragm pumps. These components are designed to work seamlessly together, maximizing efficiency and minimizing downtime.

Please note that the package price does not include chillers, heaters, or vacuum-related components, which must be sourced separately based on the specific requirements of your setup.

• Included: Entire skid with heating and condensing features, control panel, and pumps.
• Not Included: Chillers, heaters, and vacuum sub-components.

Applications and Compatibility

This system is designed primarily for use with alcohol-based solvents and is highly compatible with laboratory and industrial workflows that require quick and efficient solvent recovery. It’s particularly effective in the extraction and distillation of solvents used in pharmaceutical, cannabis, and essential oil production.

For users needing to process more caustic solvents like pentane, an upgrade is available to ensure pump compatibility and safe operation.

Key Features and Benefits

• Compact Design: Smaller footprint with built-in control box, measuring 81″ x 48″ x 32″, with an additional 10 inches required for inlet/intake piece.
• Safety Systems: Integrated safety features ensure reliable operation.
• Certified Control Box: Remote control box included for ease of use.
• Customizable for Solvents: Upgrade available for more caustic solvents like pentane.
• Efficient Evaporation: Designed for fast and efficient alcohol-based solvent recovery.
• Complete Skid Package: Includes heating/condensing components and diaphragm pumps.

Recommendations

For users primarily working with alcohol-based solvents, the standard setup offers high efficiency and reliability. However, if you work with more caustic solvents like pentane, the $10,000 pump upgrade is highly recommended to ensure both safety and performance. It’s also essential to procure suitable chillers, heaters, and vacuum components separately to fully optimize the system.
