Pharmaceutical

We provide our clients with customized process solutions to solve the most challenging pharmaceutical processing challenges.

Utilizing short residence time and high film turbulence coupled with excellent heat transfer surfaces and continuous operation, LCI Thin Film Evaporation technology is ideal for processing heat sensitive pharmaceutical products. From solvent distillation to development of high Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API), LCI’s process experts are ready to develop the customized solution to fit your needs.

LCI evaporation equipment is used to process temperature sensitive pharmaceutical ingredients.

We provide thin film and short path evaporators, as well as engineered systems to the pharmaceutical industry to:

  • Concentrate Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API)
  • Gently distill solvents from temperature sensitive products
  • Concentration of botanical extracts and fermentation broths
  • Dry and de-water dilute products
  • Achieve consistent product quality with continuous processing
  • Strip impurities/solvents down to very low residual (PPM) levels

Thin Film Evaporators

An LCI agitated thin film evaporator (TFE) or wiped film evaporator (WFE or "wiffe") provides short residence time and open, low pressure drop configuration, allowing continuous, reliable processing of many heat sensitive, viscous, or fouling materials without product degradation.

Short Path Evaporators

Short path evaporation is excellent for gently processing heat sensitive, high boiling products. Short path evaporation perfectly complements LCI's thin film evaporation technology program, allowing us even greater capability to provide the right solution for your separation problems.

High Viscosity Processor

LCI’s high viscosity processor is ideal for various polymers, resins, highly viscous food products and many others because it provides higher heat and mass transfer rates for viscous fluids and reliability when compared to other types of evaporation equipment.

Thin Film Dryers

LCI Thin-Film Dryers concentrate slurries, suspensions, and solutions such as catalyst or salt solutions and crude glycerin with indirect heat transfer and mechanical agitation of the thin product film under both vacuum and positive pressure conditions.
