LABVAP TM THIN-FILM EVAPORATORLCI’s LabVap is a small thin-filmevaporator for R&D facilitiesdeveloping products and processesinvolving the thermal separation ofprocess streams using evaporation.This versatile tool provides a means forevaluating thin-film processing of yourproducts in the early stages of productdevelopment within your ownlaboratories. Only small quantities ofmaterial are needed. The ruggedstainless steel construction andvariable speed rotor allow this unit tooperate in very difficult conditions.The LabVap is designed for maximumversatility to evaluate a broad variety ofapplications. It can provide qualitativeresults that will help determine if thinfilmevaporation technology is suitablefor your needs.The basic horizontal design incorporates:• Sturdy stainless steel body and rotor• Double mechanical seal for positivesealing from the atmosphere• Fixed clearance rotor• Variable rotor speed• Heating temperatures up to 650˚F• Available with a steam or hot oilheated body• Nozzle designs that make for easyconnections to standard laboratoryglassware• Quick disassembly/assembly for easein cleaning• Countercurrent or co-currentoperationThe LabVap is designed for the needs of an R&D lab.SpecificationsArea 0.25 ft 2Materials of ConstructionHeating MediaDesign Temperature/PressureConnectionsGaskets/o-ringsDrive316 stainless steel1,500 watt electric heating mantle withtemperature control650˚F at atmospheric pressure to full vacuumProduct Inlet— 1 ⁄8 inch NPTProduct Outlet—1 inch stainless steel tubingVapor Outlet—1 inch stainless steel tubingCarbon fiber/Viton ® (Kalrez ® optional)0.33 hp 1,800 rpm DC motor with SCRvariable speed drive (115v/60hz/3ph)A standard LabVap skidsystem is now available.
