Top Wiped Film Evaporator Manufacturers in Ethiopia | Ibha Process
Ibha Process Technologies Pvt. Ltd. is a trusted name among genuine Wiped Film Evaporator (WFE)
manufacturers, suppliers, and exporters in Ethiopia. We specialize in providing high-quality Wiped
Film Evaporators (WFE) with the latest technological features suitable for modern chemical
processing requirements.
Working Principle of Wiped Film Evaporator (WFE)
A Wiped Film Evaporator (WFE) operates on the principle of thin-film evaporation. In this
process, the feed liquid is distributed as a thin film over a hot surface by a mechanical wiper
system. The high heat transfer rate enables efficient evaporation even for heat-sensitive and
viscous materials. Advanced wiper designs, variable speed drives, and high-efficiency condensers
are employed in modern WFE based plants to ensure minimal thermal degradation and maximum
separation.
With new technological developments, our thin film and wiped film evaporators now incorporate
real-time temperature and pressure monitoring, automated feed control, and energy-efficient
heating systems. These developments significantly enhance the performance of wiped film
evaporation or thin film evaporation in industrial processes.
Types of our Wiped Film Evaporator (WFE)
A leading Wiped Film Evaporator (WFE) manufacturers in Ethiopia, we are providing the best quality
Wiped Film Evaporator (WFE) such as:
- Thin film and Wiped film: We manufacture thin film and wiped film
evaporators with integrated vacuum and distillate recovery systems. These units offer
rapid and efficient evaporation with product quality. We use innovative wiper mechanisms
to create a uniform thin film and reduce thermal stress on materials. The integrated
recovery systems allow maximum material recovery and minimum waste. We design these
evaporators to industrial standards while providing energy-efficient operation and low
maintenance.
- WFE based plants: Our modular WFE based plants are ideal for
large-scale production and are equipped with advanced automation features. The modular
design is easy to install, expand, and maintain. We use modern PLC systems and remote
monitoring to provide accurate control over each process step. These plants are
energy-efficient and can handle a range of materials, including high-viscosity and
heat-sensitive products. They also offer flexibility in production, allowing clients to
scale up operations without major equipment changes.
- Alloy Equipment Systems: We offer alloy equipment systems for chemical
processing equipment that are corrosion-resistant and can withstand high temperatures.
These systems are built using high-quality stainless steel or specialized alloys to
ensure durability and safety in harsh chemical environments. We upgrade our equipment
regularly to include features such as automated controls and real-time monitoring for
precise operation. Our alloy systems are designed to handle aggressive chemicals without
compromising performance or safety standards.
- WFE distillation units: We specialize in the production of short path
WFE distillation units that offer high-purity separation for sensitive and high-value
materials. These units are designed to maintain product integrity by restricting thermal
exposure and decomposition. We also focus on the use of advanced vacuum systems and
optimized heat transfer surfaces to maximize efficiency. Furthermore, our short path WFE
systems are fully customizable to meet the specific requirements of various industries
and production scales.
