Shop used, surplus and secondhand thin film dryers from IPP – in stock and engineered for solvent recovery and thermal precision

IPP helps you save time and money with ready-to-ship thin film dryers for pharmaceuticals, chemicals and polymers

Thin film dryers are specialized dryers designed to process viscous liquids, slurries, and pastes under vacuum or atmospheric conditions. These dryers use a rotating wiper system to spread the feed into a thin, turbulent film across a heated cylindrical surface, allowing for rapid moisture or solvent evaporation. With over 47 years of process equipment experience, IPP offers a global inventory of used, secondhand and surplus thin film dryers from 20 plant sites and more than 15,000 ready-to-ship systems.

Thin film technology is prized in industries requiring precise temperature control, short residence times, and gentle handling of sensitive compounds. The continuous design makes it ideal for solvent recovery, devolatilization and concentration tasks.

Primary uses across industries

  • In pharmaceutical manufacturing, they process APIs, intermediates, and solvent-based products
  • In fine chemicals, they dry slurries and high-viscosity compounds without thermal degradation
  • In polymer and resin production, they assist in devolatilization and final drying
  • In food and nutraceuticals, they handle pastes, oils and extracts with minimal thermal stress

Types of materials processed

  • High-viscosity fluids, pastes and slurries
  • Heat-sensitive or oxygen-sensitive materials
  • Solvent-rich products requiring closed-loop recovery

Common materials of construction

Thin film dryers must withstand corrosive materials, high temperatures and pressure differentials:

  • Stainless steel for sanitary and general chemical use
  • Hastelloy and other alloys for corrosive or solvent-rich environments
  • Glass-lined options for ultra-pure or reactive applications

Key features of thin film dryers

  • High surface area for rapid heat transfer
  • Short residence time protects heat-sensitive compounds
  • Continuous operation under vacuum or atmospheric pressure
  • Integrated solvent recovery options
  • Compact footprint with high throughput
