Tubular Three-Effect Evaporator for Pharmaceutical Industry, Concentrate Herbal Extracts, 304 SS, Sanitary Design
Product Spotlights
Qingdao Conqinphi Environmental Technology Group Co., Ltd. is a trusted manufacturer of advanced evaporation systems for the pharmaceutical and herbal extraction industries. Our Tubular Three-Effect Evaporator is engineered to concentrate heat-sensitive herbal extracts with maximum efficiency and product quality. Built entirely from 304 stainless steel with a sanitary design, this evaporator meets the strict hygiene and purity requirements of modern pharmaceutical production. With over 10 years of manufacturing experience (since 2015), a factory spanning 10,000-30,000 m², and annual export value of US$10-50 million, we deliver reliable, high-performance equipment to global markets.
This three-effect evaporator utilizes a series of three tubular heat exchangers operating under progressively lower pressures, allowing multiple stages of evaporation with significantly reduced energy consumption. The sanitary design features polished internal surfaces, crevice-free welds, and full CIP (Clean-in-Place) capability, making it ideal for concentrating herbal extracts, pharmaceutical intermediates, and other sensitive liquids. The use of 304 SS ensures excellent corrosion resistance and compliance with industry standards.
Key Features & Benefits
- High Energy Efficiency: Three-effect design reduces steam consumption by up to 60% compared to single-effect units, lowering operating costs.
- Gentle Concentrating Process: Low evaporation temperatures (due to vacuum) preserve the bioactivity of herbal extracts and pharmaceutical compounds.
- Sanitary Construction: 304 SS with Ra ≤ 0.8 μm surface finish, no dead legs, and fully drainable design prevents bacterial growth and cross-contamination.
- Compact Footprint: Tubular arrangement saves floor space while maintaining high throughput.
- Customizable Capacity: Available in evaporation capacities from 50 L/h to 5000 L/h, tailored to your production scale.
- Automated Operation: Optional PLC control system with touch screen interface for precise temperature, pressure, and flow control.
- Easy Maintenance: Quick-opening access ports and modular design facilitate inspection and cleaning.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Q: What types of herbal extracts can this evaporator handle?
A: It is suitable for a wide range of aqueous and alcoholic extracts, including those from roots, leaves, flowers, and whole herbs. The gentle evaporation process helps preserve volatile compounds and heat-sensitive active ingredients. -
Q: Is the 304 stainless steel suitable for corrosive solvents like ethanol?
A: Yes, 304 SS offers good resistance to ethanol and many organic solvents. For stronger acids or chlorides, we offer 316L SS or other alloys on request. -
Q: How often does the evaporator require cleaning?
A: Cleaning frequency depends on the product’s fouling tendency. Typically, a CIP cycle is performed every 8-24 hours of operation. The sanitary design with smooth surfaces reduces fouling and makes cleaning easy. -
Q: What is the typical evaporation temperature range?
A: With vacuum operation, the first effect operates at around 80-100°C, the second effect at 60-80°C, and the third effect at 40-60°C. Specific temperatures can be adjusted via vacuum level and steam pressure. -
Q: Can the evaporator be integrated into an existing production line?
A: Absolutely. Our evaporators can be customized with inlet/outlet connections, piping, and control interfaces to match your existing system. We provide installation support. -
Q: What certifications do your evaporators have?
A: Our manufacturing process is certified under ISO9001, HACCP, SA8000, OHSAS18001, and others. Individual components can be supplied with material certificates and pressure vessel documentation as required. -
Q: How do you ensure the sanitary design meets GMP standards?
A: All product contact surfaces are polished to Ra ≤ 0.8 μm, welds are ground and passivated, dead legs eliminated, and the system is designed for full drainability and CIP/SIP cleanability. -
Q: What is the typical delivery time?
A: Delivery time depends on capacity and customization level, generally between 45 to 90 days after order confirmation.
