Therefore, in chemical, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, pesticide, cosmetic, food, fine chemical industry widely applied.  
Our factory has been manufacturing such equipment more than ten years, has accumulated rich experience in manufacture and use. Over the years, according to market demand closely the user's actual production to meet the technological requirements of the users premise of rational choice suitable device structure, Bao Zheng reliable manufacturing superior quality, tooling equipment, detection means and product design and other aspects improving and becoming more perfect, has made impressive achievements, technical level and product quality in the domestic leading level office. 
Second, the structural characteristics 
Z Series film evaporator and the main structure shown in Figure 1, the structural parts are as follows: 
1. Motor, reducer 
It is the drive rotor. The rotational speed of the rotor will play depends on the form of scraper. The material viscosity and evaporation Flashlight diameter; select the appropriate speed scraper is to ensure stable and reliable operation of the evaporator and the satisfaction one of the important parameters evaporation effect. 
2. Separation tube 
Material separated from the body of the barrels in the bottom of the tangential entry into the evaporator, and were installed within the fabric in the separation Flashlight device is continuously uniformly distributed in the inner wall evaporation, evaporation from the evaporating body of the barrels out of steam rose to the second separation cartridges, including installation of gas-liquid separator, the second steam-carrying droplets or bubbles may separate, secondary steam from the top of the exit leads to the evaporator. 
Based on the calculation of resistance of the evaporator Flashlight rational design of separation is to avoid material "short" one of the key factors. (So-called "short circuit" means material he first entered the evaporator, evaporation process has not been completed, exit from the secondary steam evaporator.) 
3. FEEDER 
Fabric installed in the rotor. Rational design, the evaporator from the tangent direction to the material, by rotating the fabric device, is continuously poured evenly was announced in the evaporation of surface membrane. 
4. Accumulator 
Vane-type gas-liquid separator installed in the separation tube top, it will also mix up the secondary steam droplets or bubbles may trap and make it back to the evaporation surface. 
5. Evaporative Flashlight 
Also known as heat Flashlight. It was compulsory rotating scraper film clip kit of materials and heating medium for heat exchange in the evaporation surface. The diameter and length Flashlight evaporation from the evaporation area and determine the appropriate aspect ratio. 
Heated inner wall by special machining and polishing, and with both ends of the flange face a process which would ensure the equipment as a whole center of the circle degrees. Polished (if necessary, mirror polished) and smooth clean inner wall light, sticky materials and scale, the equipment effectively to ensure high heat transfer coefficient. 
5.1 If the heating medium is steam, heating Flashlight generally use the jacket form. 
5.2 If the heating medium or high pressure steam for the heat-conducting oil, the heating body of the barrels commonly used form of half-pipe. 
6. Rotor 
Evaporator tube installed in the body of the rotor shaft and the transfer from the frame. Rotor by the motor, gear drive, and driving scraper in circular motion. Transfer frame made of stainless steel, plastic processing, its intensity, geometry, stability, and so are effectively guaranteed 
7. Scraper 
As the scraper movement of the material constantly evaporating into the thin film scratch the surface in order to achieve the effect of thin film evaporation. 
According to the viscosity and other properties of materials, with the following four types of scraper forms are available: 
(1) Slide scraper (see Figure 2) 
Slide scraper is the most basic and common form of scraper. Scraper is installed in the four scraper rotor guide slots, the centrifugal force due to the role of rotor radial Shuaixiang evaporation tube inside wall, while in circular motion along with the rotor. This scraper scraping action, so that materials in the evaporation of the membranous wall on the turbulent state was greatly enhanced heat transfer coefficient, while such a continuous scraping action, effectively inhibit overheating of materials, such as dry wall and scaling phenomenon. 
Typically, the scraper with PTFE material, it is suitable for operating temperatures below 150 ℃; when the evaporating temperature higher than 150 ℃, requires the use of carbon fiber material. Drag the end there was a certain point of processing the lead sump. 
(2) fixed scraper (see Figure 3) 
Fixed scraper are used metallic materials, it is rigid connections in the rotor, the length of scraper Flashlight with evaporation, rotary evaporation inner wall scraper with a gap of only 1-2mm, demanding precision machining and installation, It is suitable for ultra-high viscosity and easy to evaporation from the foam material, removing solvent or purification. 
(3) hinged scraper (see Figure 4) 
This scraper is suitable for easily scaling in the heating surface material, usually nonmetallic scraper, with scraper activities will hinge switch installed in the rack. When the rotor rotation, due to centrifugal force, scraper is pressed in the evaporation tube wall, (and the wall) at an angle in the wall slide, scrape the material into a film, and the wall to prevent scaling. 
(3) spiral scraper (see Figure 5) 
The scraper is applied to poor mobility, easy to scale, particularly the concentration of high viscosity materials. When the rotor rotates through the thrust spiral scraper to smooth downward flow of condensed materials. 
8. Bottom Head 
Individually designed W-type bottom head, and configure the high-temperature self-lubricating bearings, both for the material of the material, while the end bearings to facilitate the maintenance and repair. 
Third, performance characteristics 
Film evaporator has the following unique advantages, conventional film evaporator and that is: 
1. Minimal pressure loss in the rotary scraper film evaporator, the material "flow" and the secondary steam "flow" are two separate "channels": material along the evaporator tube wall (mandatory membrane) falling film down; and by the evaporation of surface evaporation from the secondary steam from the central cylinder of space almost unimpeded from the evaporator, the pressure loss (or pressure drop) is very small. End 
2. Can be a real operating under vacuum conditions 
Precisely because of secondary steam from the evaporator to the condenser surface resistance is extremely small, so make the whole surface evaporation evaporation tube wall to maintain a high vacuum (up to-750mmHg above), almost equal to the export of vacuum vacuum system. As the vacuum increase, effectively reducing the boiling point of the material being processed. 
3. High heat transfer coefficient, high evaporation intensity 
Lower boiling point materials, increases the temperature difference and heat medium; was turbulent state of the film, reducing the thermal resistance; Similarly, inhibition of coke material in the wall, scaling, and improved sub-evaporation tube wall heat transfer coefficient; Efficient rotary film evaporator overall heat transfer coefficient up to 8000KJ / h · m2· ℃, so the evaporation intensity is high. 
4. Low temperature evaporation 
As the evaporation of the cylinder body to maintain a high vacuum, the boiling point materials to be processed significantly reduced, so heat-sensitive materials suitable for low temperature evaporation. 
5. Overcurrent short time 
Material in the evaporator over-current is very short, less than 10 seconds; for common activities scraper, the end of its scraping animal materials have diversion trench (see Figure 6), the angle is usually 45 °, changing the angle of perspective, can change the flow of materials over time, the material in the scraper scraping action under section spiral down from evaporation. Reduce the over-current time, to effectively prevent the evaporation process of the product decomposition, aggregation or deterioration. 
6. Can make use of low-grade steam 
Steam is used heat medium, the boiling point due to the reduction of the material, ensuring the same condition Δt, can reduce the heating medium temperature, using low-grade steam is beneficial to energy utilization. Especially suitable as a multi-effect evaporation of the end-effect evaporator.

7. Adaptable, easy to operate 
Unique structural design, so the product can be difficult to deal with some conventional evaporator handle high viscosity, including particles, heat-sensitive and easy to crystallize the material. 
Rotary film evaporator operating flexibility, stable operating conditions, and the maintenance workload is small, and easy maintenance.
