With one of the strongest process expertise and engineering commitment, IBHA evaporators are relied upon in most industries such as distillery, pharmaceutical, food processing, wastewater treatment, and specialty chemicals.
Our Evaporation Technologies
1. Forced Circulation Evaporators
Optimized for Crystallizing and High-Solids Applications
These systems are used in solutions that are highly viscous, scaling, or crystallizing and have a high capacity recirculation pump to ensure a uniform flow velocity throughout the heat exchanger. This facilitates even distribution of heat, elimination of foulage and facilitates vigorous crystallization.
- Applications: Brine concentration, chemical slurries, fertilizer solutions, salt recovery
- Key Advantages: High heat transfer coefficients, superior fouling resistance, scalable
design
- Material of Construction: SS304/316L, Duplex SS, Hastelloy, based on process compatibility
2. Natural Circulation Evaporators
Energy-Efficient, Low-Maintenance Design
Utilizing natural convection for liquid movement, these evaporators are ideal for non-scaling,
low-viscosity fluids. With no need for circulation pumps, the system ensures reduced mechanical
wear and operational simplicity.
- Applications: Sugar solutions, food and fruit concentrates, clear pharmaceutical liquids
- Key Advantages: Minimal moving parts, lower power consumption, simple operation
- Configurations: Vertical and horizontal designs tailored to plant layout
3. Agitated Thin Film Evaporators (ATFE)
Rapid Evaporation for Heat-Sensitive and Viscous Products
ATFEs are engineered for low-pressure, high-vacuum operations where minimal residence time is
critical. A rotating wiper mechanism creates a uniform, thin liquid film over the heated
surface, enabling fast and gentle evaporation.
- Applications: Heat-sensitive APIs, essential oils, resins, herbal extracts
- Key Advantages: High evaporation rates, minimal thermal degradation, product purity
retention
- Special Capability: Efficient handling of high-viscosity and thermally unstable feeds
4. Wiped Film Evaporators (WFE)
High-Precision Evaporation Under Vacuum Conditions
WFE systems are designed for continuous separation of volatile compounds from heat-sensitive or
viscous materials. A rotating wiper blade distributes feed into a uniform film under vacuum,
achieving high product recovery and precise fractionation.
- Applications: Nutraceuticals, fine chemicals, cosmetics, cannabinoid distillation
- Key Advantages: Thin film operation, low residence time, maximum thermal efficiency
- Material Options: SS316L, Borosilicate Glass, Hastelloy, based on corrosive and purity needs
5. Multiple Effect Evaporators (MEE)
Energy-Optimized Solutions for ZLD and Large-Scale Operations
The MEE systems utilize preceding stages vapors as a source of heat to later stages,
cutting down steam consumption drastically. Stress-designed to operate constantly in utility-intensive.
These systems are essential in substance of Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) and high water.
recovery.
- Applications: Effluent treatment, dairy industry, distilleries, pulp and paper
- Key Advantages: Steam economy, low operational cost, modular scalability
- Available Configurations: Forward-feed, backward-feed, and mixed-feed arrangements
