Question 1

What solvent does the 25.FF Falling Film Evaporator use?

Accepted Answer

It recovers ethanol from miscella after extraction or winterization so the solvent can be reused rather than repurchased.

Question 2

What room classification do I need for the 25.FF Falling Film Evaporator?

Accepted Answer

Room classification for solvent recovery depends on the solvent volumes present and your local fire code — it is a property of the room and facility, not of the machine alone. Your facility code review with the local authority having jurisdiction determines the classification.

Question 3

Can I run the 25.FF Falling Film Evaporator in an EU GMP facility?

Accepted Answer

GMP — including EU GMP — is a facility and process standard: it applies to the building, the procedures, the documentation and the people together, and no extraction system carries a GMP certification on its own. Whether a system helps or hinders an EU GMP programme comes down to its material selection, hygienic design and the qualification documentation available for it. Contact Decimal Engineering to discuss configuration options for your facility.
