Separation Equipment

Artisan designs and manufactures thermal separation equipment for heat-sensitive, viscous, foaming, and difficult-to-process materials, built and engineered in the USA.

Thermal Separation Equipment Built for Difficult Applications.

Artisan’s process technologies group designs and manufactures thermal separation equipment for the applications that push conventional technology to its limits. From thin-film evaporation and stripping to pervaporation and custom pressure vessels, our equipment is engineered for materials that are heat-sensitive, viscous, foaming, or fouling, where standard equipment fails or compromises product quality.

Every piece of equipment is designed based on data specific to the customer’s process, taking into account feed rate, evaporation rate, operating temperature, pressure, and final product specifications. Construction materials, certifications, and location requirements are confirmed with the customer during the design phase.

Our integrated engineering and manufacturing teams handle design, fabrication, testing, and commissioning under one roof.
