Frequently Asked Questions

Which products are in the Evaporation Equipment Plants range?

The range has 8 product pages: MEE – Multiple Effect Evaporator, Thin Film Evaporator (TFE), WFE – Wiped Film Evaporator, Rising-Film Evaporator, Falling Film Evaporator, Forced Circulation Evaporator, Vacuum Evaporator and MVR Evaporator. Open a product page for the details Mechotech lists for that product.

How do the products in the Evaporation Equipment Plants range differ?

The product pages describe each type as follows. MEE – Multiple Effect Evaporator: Multiple-effect evaporation: linked evaporator vessels (effects) in series; Thin Film Evaporator (TFE): Feed is spread as a thin, continuously renewed film on a heated wall for rapid evaporation with short residence time; WFE – Wiped Film Evaporator: Rotating wiper blades spread the feed into a thin film on a heated surface and renew it continuously; Rising-Film Evaporator: Feed boils at the base of heated vertical tubes and rises as a film carried by the vapour it generates; Falling Film Evaporator: Thin gravity-driven film descends inside heated vertical tubes under co-current vapour flow; Forced Circulation Evaporator: A circulation pump drives liquor through a heat exchanger; Vacuum Evaporator: Reduced vessel pressure lowers the boiling point so the batch concentrates at low temperature under gentle jacketed heating; MVR Evaporator: Mechanical vapour recompression (MVR) evaporation. The right type depends on the material and the duty, so the page for each product is the place to compare.
