EVERYTHING FROM ONE SOURCE
We are your partner for demanding process solutions of high-end thermal separation tasks and supply small, standardized laboratory units up to tailor-made, skid-mounted industrial size facilities. As service, we offer contract distillation and pastillation at our site. With our products and services, we are guaranteeing successful production in various industrial sectors.
As the fields of application for thermal process technology are almost endless, each project is unique and requires a highly customized solution. Our goal is to understand the task and to develop the right product. We offer a wide range of distillation technology with individual adaptations and specifications, to provide you with exactly the product you need to get the most out of you production.
We serve international customers and partners in a large number of process industries with our customized equipment and systems. Our distillation plants are used for purification, concentration, removal of low boilers, color improvement, drying of products and much more.
Whether the task is to get the most out of your product, minimize residual material, or extract the maximum of the valuable section – we find the best solution for your task.

For highest product quality, we at VTA optimize temperature, process pressure, feed rate, and wiper speed. Temperature and pressure mainly determine the evaporation rate, the feed amount influences the residence time and therefore the thermal stress on the product. Through precise control and suitable sensors, we ensure reproducible conditions – from laboratory scale to pilot plants and up to industrial production.
As a manufacturer of complete solutions, we use both processes depending on the product requirements. Both processes operate under vacuum with a thin product film on the evaporator wall and are designed for high product quality and efficiency. In thin film or wiped film distillation, the light-boiling component condenses in an external condenser; in short path distillation, it condenses on an internal condenser. Due to the low pressure drop and the resulting very low distillation pressures, short path distillation is particularly gentle and ideal for temperature sensitive products.
As a plant manufacturer, we provide comprehensive consulting: from product viscosity, temperature sensitivity, and target purity to throughput and scale up, all the way to installation and layout concepts. In our test center we determine the process window and use this to define the plant type, number of stages, wiper system, evaporator size, and vacuum concept. The result is a customized VTA plant design, validated on our pilot units – including a clear economic evaluation.
