Rotor Expertise

The most sensitive and difficult component to repair/refurbish is the rotor, a fabricated component machined to close tolerances and constructed of various alloys commonly used in the chemical, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, and food processing industries.

It is also the most critical element of a thin-film evaporator due to the fact that rotor-to-wall clearance has the largest effect on overall efficiency. Improper clearance can result in severe damage, can drastically decrease processing rates and capacity, or may cause fouling and off-spec product.

Rotor-to-wall clearance varies according to process application and the nominal size of the thin-film evaporator. LCI is most qualified to asses the condition and recommend the appropriate corrective action when needed.
