Thin-film and Short-path Evaporation

MINIPLANT

MINIPLANT

GKT MINIPLANT combines compact, mobile design with industrial-scale functionality for flexible use directly on site. It is ideal for trials, the purification of challenging substances, and the recovery of valuable materials. Equipped with the POWERMOL 25 short-path evaporator, it enables particularly gentle distillation under high vacuum at pressures as low as 0.001 mbar(a).

MINIPLANT

How it works

The feed material is continuously fed into the POWERMOL 25, distributed along the heated evaporator wall, and guided downward. Low-boiling components evaporate, condense internally, and are discharged as distillate, while higher-boiling substances are removed as concentrate. Gear pumps transport the distillate and concentrate into collection vessels. Non-condensed vapors and inert gases are directed into the vacuum system, with a droplet separator preventing the entrainment of high-boiling components.

Advantages

  • Meaningful trials at a location of your choice
  • Cost-effective and rapid production of small quantities/sample products
  • Gentle evaporation of temperature-sensitive, high-viscosity, and explosion-hazardous media
  • High performance and reliable operation
  • Optimizable for specific conditions
  • Continuous data analysis
  • Plug-and-play principle

Applications

  • Thermally sensitive substances: The system is optimized for thermally sensitive products. Thanks to short residence times in the evaporator, thermal stress remains minimal. A fine vacuum ranging from 0.01 to 1,000 mbar enables distillation under extremely low pressure conditions.
  • Explosion-hazardous media: The system is ATEX-certified (2014/34/EU) and designed for handling explosion-hazardous media. Both the process area and the environment comply with ATEX II 3/3 G Ex T3 Gc X, ensuring maximum safety.
  • Highly viscous substances with viscosities of up to 2,000 mPas.
