Schmidt® SIGMASTAR Evaporation Systems Our Schmidt evaporization systems with SIGMASTAR® Climbing-film Plate Evaporators are used in the food industry, in the organic and chemical industry, and for wastewater treatment. Advantages of the rising-film SIGMASTAR® include Superior product distribution due to the thermo-siphon principle Extremely short residence time, to guarantee a gentle treatment of the product Low pressure losses across the tubes, a benefit of the short tube length High concentrations and viscosities are possible due to the high vapor velocity in a rising film Clearly defined product flow path. There is no chance of local over-concentration Lower cost heat transfer area, compared to other evaporation systems No components are welded to the plate surface that can cause corrosion and build up of fibrous materials Flexible design - capacity changes can be made easily by adding or removing plates The unique construction of the SIGMASTAR® evaporization plates makes it possible to apply SIGMASTAR® in a number of different evaporization processes. With problem products (e.g. viscous streams, slurries, and liquids with fouling tendencies) which cannot be processed with falling film evaporators, the SIGMASTAR® evaporizer performs especially smoothly and successfully.
