Working Principle
The feed material enters the distillation chamber and forms a thin flowing film on the heated surface.
Under vacuum conditions:
- Material is evenly distributed
- Volatile components evaporate rapidly
- Different components are separated according to volatility
- Vapor phase is condensed and collected
- Concentrated product is continuously discharged
This process improves separation efficiency while reducing thermal stress.
