Top Agitated Thin Film Evaporator Manufacturers in Kenya | Ibha Process
Ibha Process Technologies Pvt. Ltd. is one of the most authentic manufacturers, suppliers, and exporters of Agitated Thin Film Evaporator (ATFE) in Kenya. Our experience in designing and supplying high-performance industrial evaporators ensures superior quality, efficiency, and durability for contemporary industrial applications. With the latest technological advancements and accurate engineering, our film evaporators satisfy the changing needs of chemical, pharmaceutical, and food processing industries.
Working Principle of Agitated Thin Film Evaporator (ATFE)
The Agitated Thin Film Evaporator (ATFE) works on the principle of thin-film evaporation, where the liquid feed is spread evenly as a thin film over a heated surface. An internal rotor agitates the liquid continuously to increase heat transfer and avoid fouling or degradation of thermally sensitive materials.
- Heat Transfer Efficiency: The new designs of thin film evaporators utilize improved heat transfer surfaces and high-performance rotors to ensure low energy consumption.
- Vacuum Operation: Contemporary ATFE systems enable operation under controlled vacuum conditions, lowering the boiling point of liquids and ensuring product quality.
- Advanced Controls: New automation and control systems ensure accurate regulation of temperature, feed rate, and residence time, offering higher consistency in output.

Features of our Agitated Thin Film Evaporator (ATFE)
One of the leading Agitated Thin Film Evaporator (ATFE) suppliers in Kenya, these all types of Agitated Thin Film Evaporator (ATFE) provides new features such as:
- High Heat Transfer Efficiency: Our evaporators utilize newly designed rotors and advanced surface treatments that enhance evaporation rates. This enhances productivity while keeping energy consumption to a minimum. We also utilize special coatings and finishes that enhance thermal efficiency and minimize fouling.
- Low Residence Time: We design our ATFEs to minimize the residence time of the liquid on the hot surface. This minimizes thermal degradation and maintains the quality of sensitive products. The rotor speed and film thickness are optimized for reliable performance.
- Vacuum Operation Compatibility: Our new models are vacuum operation compatible, enabling processing at lower temperatures. This is a beneficial feature for heat-sensitive materials and enhances product quality. It also enables energy savings and increased evaporation speed.
- Easy Maintenance: We design our evaporators with modular construction for easy maintenance. Parts such as rotors, seals, and heating surfaces can be replaced or cleaned quickly. This minimizes downtime and ensures continuous production efficiency.
