Features
If You Are One For The Details Please Allow Us To Explain Where We Excel.
-Manufactured Locally In Southern California USA. All of our evaporators and designed, engineered and assembled here in Southern California.
-High Quality Stainless Components. All of our systems are made from high quality stainless and our welding is completed by certified US welders. Additionally, all critical welds are pressure tested to make sure our systems are sound.
-Evaporation Area. One of our best kept secrets is delivering on industry leading surface area within our evaporators. It takes extra time and complicates our manufacturing process but the end performance is well worth it.
-Residence Time. Residence time refers to the amount of time that the desired compounds are subject to heat during the evaporation process. Our design allows for an extremely low residence time to make sure and preserve the desired compounds in their best state. Avoiding thermal degradation is key to a quality end product.
-Compliance. Our systems have all required compliance documentation. Our Stainless is sanitary 3A, we use FDA approved gaskets and have the necessary peer reviews for safety. All gear pump motors are explosion proof as required.
-Continuous Operation. When equipped with gear pumps the systems offer continuous operation. Simply start the feed line and turn on your gear pumps and continue processing for hours.
-High Solvent Recovery Efficacy. Our systems are able to remove 95%-99% of the solvent from the feed miscella.
-Easy And Efficient Operation. Our falling films are incredibly easy to operate, maintain and clean. Normal operators have the hang of operations in just a couple hours.
-Dedicated Support Staff. Every unit sold comes with a dedicated account manager that is responsible for seeing your build through (including making sure it stays on schedule), handling any questions and providing continued support.
-Installation And Training Available. We want the install and first time operations of your equipment to be as seamless and easy as possible. That's why we are there every step of the way.
-Value. It is our goal to deliver on the best value in the industry. We look at this as dollar spent per gallon of recovery. We are proud to be one of the most economical while never sacrificing quality.
-Lead Time. A commonly overlooked item is the importance of quick lead times. The faster we get your equipment to you, the faster you can be recouping dollars and making your operation money. We pride ourselves on our extremely quick delivery times.
-True Performance. Unfortunately, there are a lot of manufacturers that never come close to delivering on their numbers. We always prefer to under promise and over deliver. You can trust our systems will perform as they should.
-Warranty. All of our systems come with a one year limited warranty to guarantee our quality and make sure you are satisfied with your purchase.
Specifications
Heating
Heating is an integral part to the function of the evaporator and its secondary heating functions. Our long standing relationship allows us to use the best in class heating units. These units have been used in industrial applications for decades and provide years of trouble free service.
Required Utilities- 480 volt 3 phase power is required in most applications. Required amps can range from 50 amps to 400 amps depending on the size of the evaporator. Gas fired boilers are also an option if sufficient power is not available.
Cooling
Cooling is key in condensing the solvent to be captured for reuse. Our chiller partner has a long standing reputation in large commercial/industrial chilling applications. One of our favorite features of our chiller manufacturer is that the run a dual compressor setup. This allows for redundancy should there be an issue with one of the compressors allowing the customer to continue to operate while needed repairs are completed.
Required Utilities- 480 volt 3 phase power is required in most applications. Required amps can range from 50 amps all the way to 200 amps depending on the size of the falling film unit.
Vacuum Pumps
We use only the best and most reliable names in vacuum pumps. Our partners have actually developed specific pumps geared for this industry with all ptfe heads and chambers. This allows for extremely high solvent protection in a long lasting reliable package.
Required Utilities- 110 Volt Power Single Phase Power (for most applications).
Gear Pumps
Our systems are only paired with US manufactured extremely reliable gear pumps. Any industry pro knows the headache that inferior pumps can cause. Our gear pumps are paired with VFD (variable frequency drives) so that the motors can be sped up or slowed down as needed in the recovery process.
Required Utilities- 10 Amp Single Phase/ 3 Phase Power..
Optional/Included Equipment
We say optional/included equipment because on some units this equipment is standard. On the smaller models it is usually optional.
PreHEAT Module
We know that most of our customers are running directly from their extraction process into the falling film and usually the extraction is done with very cold solvent. For this purpose we offer a preheat module that warms up the solvent before entering the main evaporator. This not only increases the performance of the machine but also offers a more gentle process for the desirable oils to go through.
Crude Discharge Gear Pump
For those customers wanting a "set it and forget it" continuous operating ability we offer gear pumps. This allows for the constant discharge of the crude oil and solvent while processing material.
Feed Pump
For those looking for extra performance we offer a feed pump to keep the falling film operating at its maximum throughput.
