How Falling Film Evaporator Works
Falling film evaporator utilize heated tubular evaporation chambers to separate liquid solvent based on their boiling points. An array of vertical tubes enable efficient heat transfer while preserving the integrity of the product oil. In hemp processing or extraction, this step is required to concentrate the oil and recover the liquid solvent.
The Falling Film Evaporator process starts by pumping ethanol into a distributor that introduces ethanol to the vertical tubes. “Falling film” refers to a thin film that is created as the ethanol or liquid solvent falls down the inside of the heated vertical metal tubing that is heated by circulating oil on the outside of the tubes. Optimal heat transfer on the walls of these tubes allows ethanol oil or other liquid solvent mixtures to evaporate at a high throughput rate before condensing on a chilled collector.
Vacuum systems are incorporated into the equipment to lower the boiling point of ethanol and improve mass transfer. The vacuum is maintained in each stage of the process with a single vacuum pump that is monitored by the system to maximize performance.
Unlike most falling film evaporators, however, fracTron is able to independently pump liquid from stage to stage, control temperature, pressure and other variables in each of its three-stages making it optimal for total solvent evaporates without secondary processing.
fracTron removes ethanol from extracts with extraktLAB’s falling film evaporator equipment. The fracTron is a three-stage, fractional solvent distillation machine. fracTron is customizable, enables automated GMP process control, while supporting 40gal/hour continuous process flow.

![Hemp Processing Equipment 101
From harvest, to extraction, to final product, hemp processing encompasses the entire process of hemp extraction and is essential to creating a successful extraction business. In this presentation, founder, president and CEO of extraktLAB, Dr. Jon Thompson, will discuss hemp processing in detail starting from the very beginning of harvesting, shucking and bucking hemp biomass, to extraction, to winterization, to solvent removal, all the way to distillation and product formulation. When it comes to proper hemp processing, each step in the extraction process has to be dialed in to create CBD products that are not only of the highest quality, but are also safe for consumers to create a reputable brand. In order to accomplish this, a number of various factors need to be considered- all of which are discussed by Dr. Jon in this presentation. Dr. Jon will also briefly discuss the state-of-the-art extraktLAB equipment available for each of these hemp processing steps including the ShuckNbuck hemp bucking machine, supercritical CO2 extractors, DrainDROYD vacuum filtration apparatus, fracTron falling film evaporator, clearSTILL dual-stage wiped film evaporator, pure99 high performance liquid chromatography system, CO2Cage CO2 supply apparatus, and igwLAB GMP compliance software. A full hemp processing turnkey solution with full training and all this extraktLAB equipment is available to help you get your own extraction business up and running.
