Key Features
Horizontal Orientation
Up to 99% evaporation of liquids, slurries, or viscous materials for higher yields without dry spots or fouling, capable of liquid-to-powder drying in a single pass. Horizontal orientation offers better control of residence time.
Robust Construction
Versatile with the ability to handle high viscosity materials and produce dry materials. Stainless steel construction that is easy to assemble, disassemble, and clean.
Preserve Product Quality
Avoid degradation on heat-sensitive materials with the combination of short residence time, vacuum operation, and reduced processing time compared to batch operations.
Scalable
Continuous process can reliably scale to commercial production equipment utilizing proven ROTOTHERM® thin-film separation technology.
