Systems since the early 1960s

SMS supplies thin film evaporation and short path distillation systems to the oils and fats and oleochemical industry since the early 1960s when the first monoglyceride distillation plant was delivered. Today SMS is specialised in the evaporation, distillation, concentration, purification, and deacidification of a multitude of products:

  • Biodiesel
  • Carotene
  • Dimeric fatty acids
  • Fatty acids
  • Glycerine
  • Lanolin, wool wax alcohol
  • Lecithin
  • Modified oils and fats
  • Monoglyceride
  • Methyl ester, other esters
  • Methyl ester sulfonates
  • Omega-3
  • Red palm oil
  • Talloil
  • Tocotrienol, Tocopherol
  • Vitamin E

Drying Technology

Depending on the requirement, we combine and customise drying processes and components to suit the product properties so that, for example, toxic or explosive materials can be safely and efficiently processed.

High Viscosity Technology
High Viscosity Technology

Our thin film processors and large volume reactors for the manufacture and preparation of polymers are world leaders and guarantee the very highest quality and efficiency as well as excellent process results.
