Centrifugal Thin Film Evaporator
The Centrithor is a next-generation centrifugal thin film evaporator designed for efficient evaporation, concentration, and purification of heat-sensitive, viscous, and high-value products. Unlike conventional evaporators, the Centrithor uses centrifugal force to spread the liquid into a very thin, continuously renewed film on the heated surface. This unique principle ensures rapid heat transfer, minimal residence time, and gentle product handling, making it ideal for sensitive applications.
Operating under vacuum, the Centrithor provides high evaporation rates at low temperatures, thereby protecting delicate products from thermal degradation. It also delivers superior performance with viscous materials that are often difficult to process in standard evaporators. Compact in design, with low hold-up volume, it ensures maximum yield, fast product changeover, and easy integration into existing production setups.
With its robust construction and GMP-compliant design, the Centrithor is trusted across industries ranging from pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals to food, nutraceuticals, natural extracts, and petrochemicals.
