Short Path Evaporator

Ideal system for fine chemical separation

AGI Short Path Evaporator is perfect for separating volatile components from chemical mixtures with properties that are hard to separate, heat-sensitive and high-boiling. The combination of very low pressure (up to 0.001 mbar, abs.), thin film formation and short residence time on the heated surface makes our Short Path Evaporator ideal for the gentle separation of high-boiling heat sensitive chemical mixtures.

The all-glass design allows for continuous visual monitoring and the adjustable feed rate provides control over film formation.

Very low operating pressure: 0.001 mbar (abs.)

Fine distillation/separation at low temperatures 

Minimal thermal degradation

Customization possibilities

AGI Short Path Evaporator can be customized and we are happy to discuss the design of custom features with you in order to meet your specific process need. Many applications benefit from adjusting the material properties and/or physical size of the evaporator.

AGI Short Path Evaporator customization examples

  • Fully corrosion resistance models for aggressive chemical mixture separations
  • Modifications to evaporation surface area e.g., 0.012 m² (DN 45) or 1.5 m² (DN 450)
  • Addition of thermal jacket to feed and receiving vessels
  • Continuous feeding design
  • Quartz versions
  • Dual condensers
