Two Modes of Wiped Film Evaporation
Choose between volatile stripping at higher rates vs. cutting/polishing with higher quality fractions. Quick release fittings allow the internal condenser or stripping cone to be swapped within minutes.
Short Path Thin Film Operation
(Internal Condenser Installed)
- Best for medium to heavy compound stripping and polishing
- Maximizes condensation efficiency via short vapor path length
External Condenser Thin Film Operation
(Stripping Cone Installed)
- Best used for volatile stripping, higher vapor pressure compounds
- Allows lighter compounds to exit evaporator as vapor path is extended
Competitive Advantage:
Customizable Processing Vapor Paths via Unique Configuration Options
The dual-port design allows for co-current and concurrent vapor path configurations, and a reversible wiper motor with vectored blades allows for tailored material residence times.
Fast & Easy Assembly and Cleaning
Adhering to the “one tool, one person, 10 minutes [assembly]” motto, the HiVE15™ delivers easier cleaning and assembly via the swing-out frame and hinged pin releases for the main still body. Another first in its class
Faster Cycle Times via High-Quality Materials
Stainless steel construction with the new HDT (heat dispersion technology) and powerful electric heater bands allows for quicker heating and cooling, allowing for accelerated system startup and cooldown cycles. Proprietary aerogel insulated thermal wrap ensures consistent temperatures while also increasing heat retention resulting in reduced power costs and increased performance.
High Expandability & Portability
Modular 80/20 frame allows for aftermarket upgrade options and mounting auxiliary gear. Smaller footprint and height allow for benchtop placement.
