ATFE – Agitated Thin Film Evaporator

Continuous Evaporation with Minimal Thermal Stress.

Overview

Evaporation for Heat-Sensitive Liquids with Thin Film Technology

Zen’s Agitated Thin Film Evaporator (ATFE) enables efficient evaporation of high-boiling, viscous, and heat-sensitive liquids. A rotating wiper spreads the feed into a thin film along a heated cylindrical surface, ensuring rapid heat transfer and minimal residence time.

Ideal for processing pharmaceutical actives, APIs, and solvents, ATFE delivers consistent separation with compact footprint and energy efficiency.

Key Features

✔️ Uniform thin film formation with rotor blades
✔️ Low thermal degradation and short residence time
✔️ Operates under high vacuum or atmospheric pressure
✔️ High evaporation rates with minimal fouling
✔️ GMP-compliant options with CIP design

Applications

Evaporation for Purity, Recovery, and Process Efficiency

ATFE systems are widely used for continuous evaporation in:
