Evaporator for citrus juice concentrate
Optimize juice concentration and reduce thermal damage with advanced short-time evaporation, ensuring high-speed, energy-efficient processing with minimal maintenance in your production line.
Concentrates and Stabilizes Juices Rapidly
The T.A.S.T.E. Evaporator from JBT FoodTech is engineered to enhance the pasteurization and stability of citrus and fruit juices with a unique thermally accelerated short-time evaporation process. Introducing juice as a turbulent fog within the tube nest, the system achieves a heat transfer rate significantly higher than standard methods, propelling liquids at speeds up to 700 km/hour. Designed specifically for applications such as orange, lemon, and tomato concentrates, this evaporator efficiently minimizes thermal damage while optimizing energy use.
Supporting both continuous and high-speed operations, the T.A.S.T.E. Evaporator is ideal for juice manufacturers and food processors striving for superior product consistency and quality. Its integration with a Forced Circulation Evaporator stage enables enhanced pre-evaporation, making it suitable for a range of liquid processing needs, from citrus juices to tomato paste. The system drastically reduces flow rates by up to 50%, with a total residence time as short as four to five minutes.
JBT’s T.A.S.T.E. Evaporator offers low installation and maintenance costs, emphasizing ease of use and adaptability. With minimal product recirculation, users can switch seamlessly between processing different products like apple juice concentrate and mango pulp, ensuring high-efficiency operations while maintaining product integrity. This evaporator is a versatile solution for enhancing your processing line’s performance and profitability.
