This Bjönkjaer ELTS FLASH 235/100 is a falling film evaporator — sometimes referred to as a thin film evaporator — a type of laboratory equipment used to concentrate, separate, or purify liquids by causing a thin film of product to flow down the inner surface of heated tubes while solvent evaporates under controlled conditions. The process is well suited to heat-sensitive materials, as it allows evaporation at low temperatures and reduced pressures.
This particular unit is a three-stage system, manufactured in 2005 and located in Barneveld, Netherlands. It is constructed throughout in stainless steel. Stage one has a tube capacity of 21 litres and a shell capacity of 700 litres, while stages two and three together provide a combined capacity of 155 litres. The system operates at a working pressure of 9.3 bar, with the vapour evaporator section operating at 1 bar. Maximum process temperature is rated at 40°C.
The listing includes a complete integrated system with several auxiliary components. Liquid feed is handled by a centrifugal pump from CSF Inox, model 32-210, rated at 3,900 litres per hour, 1.1 kW, 400 V. A Bock compressor, type HG6/1240-4, provides refrigeration duty at 30.5 kW, 400 V. Vacuum is drawn by a Speck vacuum pump, type V130, rated at 3.0 kW, 400 V. A magnetically driven gear pump from Iwaki, type MDG-R15K220, handles product transfer at up to 500 litres per hour, drawing 0.18 kW at 400 V. An additional Iwaki centrifugal pump, type YMD 25-100/110CV, is also included as part of the system. Machine number is recorded as 67794.
