Description

The Vacuum Decompression Concentrator, also known as a Vacuum Concentrator, is a versatile evaporation and concentration device widely used in industries such as pharmaceuticals, food processing, chemicals, biotechnology, and other related fields. It is designed for the concentration of liquid materials under vacuum conditions, reducing the boiling temperature and protecting heat-sensitive components.

In addition to liquid concentration, the equipment can also be used for solvent recovery, alcohol recovery, and simple reflux extraction processes.

Working Principle

The liquid material is fed into the Vacuum Decompression Concentrator Tank, where it is heated under vacuum conditions until boiling occurs. Due to the reduced pressure, the boiling point of the liquid is lowered, allowing evaporation to take place at a relatively low temperature.

During the evaporation process, water or other solvents are vaporized to generate secondary steam. The secondary steam passes through a gas-liquid separator to remove entrained droplets and foam containing valuable components. The separated liquid phase is returned to the concentrator tank through reflux, ensuring maximum recovery of effective ingredients.

The clean secondary vapor then enters the condenser and cooler, where it is condensed into liquid and collected in the receiving tank. Through continuous evaporation and solvent removal, the concentration of the processed liquid is gradually increased.

Structure and Features

The Vacuum Decompression Concentrator mainly consists of:

•  Jacketed vacuum concentrator tank

•  Gas-liquid separator

•  Tubular condenser

•  Coil-type cooler

•  Liquid receiving tank

•  Vacuum system and related accessories (optional)

Main Features:

•   Low-temperature vacuum concentration: Reduces thermal degradation of heat-sensitive materials and preserves product quality.

•   Wide application range: Suitable for pharmaceutical extracts, food ingredients, chemical solutions, herbal extracts, and other liquid materials.

•   Effective solvent recovery: Enables recovery of water, ethanol, and other solvents during evaporation.

•   Compact and flexible design: Available in various capacities to meet laboratory, pilot-scale, and production requirements.

•   Customizable construction: Material selection, configuration, and accessories can be customized according to process requirements.

The equipment is generally manufactured from stainless steel, with wetted parts available in materials such as SS304, SS316L, or other corrosion-resistant alloys according to the characteristics of the processed materials.
