Artisan Industries Inc. introduces the ROTOTHERM® MINI, a continuous lab-scale evaporator/dryer.

The ROTOTHERM® MINI utilises the same thin-film separation technology as Artisan’s production-scale ROTOTHERM® evaporators. It is designed for continuous evaporation and liquid-to-powder drying of heat-sensitive materials.

HORIZONTAL ORIENTATION
Unlike vertical evaporators, the ROTOTHERM® MINI has a horizontal orientation which provides researchers complete control over residence time. This allows for liquid-to-powder drying in a single pass and improved product yield.

SUPERIOR DESIGN COMPARED TO WIPED FILM EVAPORATORS
The ARTISAN ROTOTHERM® MINI features a high-speed rotor that utilises centrifugal force to create an agitated thin-film. This design provides major improvements over traditional wiped-film evaporators (WFE).  It is capable of processing viscous or foaming liquids and slurries. In addition, the stainless steel, fixed-clearance rotor provides easier cleaning.

SCALE-UP OF CONTINUOUS PROCESSES
The ROTOTHERM ®  MINI provides researchers the ability to develop continuous processes at lab-scale that can be scaled-up for production.

Additional product specifications:
5 - 50 ml/min feed rate
Maximum operating temperature  450° F
Operating Pressure - full vacuum to 15 psi
316 stainless steel construction
Easy to clean
