Agitated Thin Film Evaporator (ATFE)

At SRP Engineering and Tech, we specialize in providing innovative, high-performance solutions for industrial process applications. Our Agitated Thin Film Evaporator (ATFE) is a state-of-the-art heat transfer system designed for efficient evaporation of high-viscosity, heat-sensitive liquids. With advanced mechanical agitation, the ATFE ensures optimal heat transfer and accelerated evaporation, making it ideal for handling delicate, viscous, or challenging materials.

The Agitated Thin Film Evaporator (ATFE) introduced by SRP Engineering and Tech uses a unique mechanism where liquid feed is introduced at the top of the evaporator through a distributor. The liquid spreads into a thin film over a heated surface, where it is continuously agitated by a rotor or scraper. This agitation ensures uniform distribution of the liquid, maximizing heat transfer and preventing the formation of stagnant zones.

As the thin film travels down the heated surface, it evaporates, and the vapor is separated and condensed for further use or processing. The remaining concentrated liquid exits from the bottom. The continuous agitation also prevents scaling, fouling, and overheating, making this system particularly suitable for high-viscosity fluids, slurries, and heat-sensitive products.
