Continuous effect evaporators for tomato concentrate
Achieve high degrees of concentration for tomato paste and fruit juices with minimized energy use by utilizing advanced vacuum and forced circulation technology, ensuring the retention of natural flavors and qualities.
Concentrates and Evaporates Liquid and Slurry Products
The TFF ZEUS Evaporators by Tropical Food Machinery are engineered to efficiently concentrate tomato and fruit products while preserving natural flavors. Utilizing a vacuum and forced circulation system, they ensure gentle handling and energy savings by reusing evaporated liquids as thermal agents in subsequent effects. Suitable for a range of applications—from tomato paste to fruit punch—the evaporators integrate seamlessly into processing lines with capacity options spanning 500 to 50,000 liters per hour. With PLC control, they offer precise temperature management at each effect stage for optimal organoleptic retention. Available in corrosion-resistant materials, the evaporators support easy cleaning and maintenance with CIP capabilities. They can be tailored to specific production needs, providing robust integration for food and beverage manufacturers focused on reducing operational costs and enhancing product quality.
