Used Equipment Facts About This Machine
Manufacturer Information
Luwa-SMS GmbH is a globally recognized manufacturer of thin film evaporators, wiped film evaporators, distillation systems, and thermal separation equipment used throughout the chemical, pharmaceutical, food, petrochemical, and specialty products industries. Luwa systems are known for efficient heat transfer, short residence times, and gentle processing of heat-sensitive, viscous, and high-boiling products.
Description
Available for immediate sale is a Used Luwa-SMS GmbH Thin Film Evaporator System, Model E-4503, featuring 193.7 square feet of heat transfer area and constructed entirely of 316L stainless steel in product contact areas.
This evaporator is designed for continuous concentration, solvent recovery, purification, stripping, and thermal separation applications requiring efficient heat transfer with minimal product degradation. The thin film design creates a turbulent product film across the heated surface, allowing rapid evaporation while maintaining short residence times.
The system includes the evaporator body, condensers, vessels, interconnecting piping, and drive assembly as originally installed. The unit features an ASME Section VIII Division 1 pressure-rated shell and jacket capable of operating under full vacuum or positive pressure service.
This equipment is particularly well suited for pharmaceutical intermediates, specialty chemicals, polymers, food ingredients, botanical extracts, solvents, resins, and other heat-sensitive materials.
