Used evaporators are thermal separation systems that concentrate solutions, recover solvents, or reduce waste volume by vaporizing liquid components. These systems are essential across industries where product purity, yield, and cost-efficiency matter. With more than 47 years of industry expertise, IPP offers used, secondhand and surplus evaporators from 20 complete plant sites and a massive inventory of over 15,000 systems ready to ship.

Evaporators are available in multiple configurations—falling film, rising film, forced circulation, wiped film and multiple-effect systems—each tailored for specific viscosity, temperature sensitivity and throughput needs.

Falling film evaporators are ideal for heat-sensitive materials and lower viscosities, while forced circulation systems handle higher solids and fouling-prone feeds.
Yes – many units can be reconfigured with new instrumentation, controls or materials of construction to meet changing process needs.
Absolutely – they reuse vapor from one stage to heat the next, reducing overall steam consumption and operational costs.
IPP provides faster lead times, cost savings and global support from a team with 47+ years of process plant experience.
