Evaporator for dairy products
In dairy production, ensuring efficient evaporation while maintaining product quality and minimizing space requirements is essential. Challenges such as microbial growth and high energy consumption necessitate reliable and continuous evaporating systems.
Efficiently evaporates dairy products with steam
The Tetra Pak® Evaporator Falling Film TVR is a fully automatic and continuous evaporation system designed specifically for dairy products. It features a multi-effect evaporator design that minimizes steam use and employs cyclone-type separators to ensure long run times and minimize product losses. The system can handle evaporation rates from 100 to 50,000 kilograms per hour, depending on the product type and composition. Its smart design allows for minimal floor space requirements by placing all components (calandria, separator, thermo-compressor) close to each other. Additionally, it supports high preheat temperatures (100°-125°C) through optional indirect and/or direct heaters, and can maintain 24/7 spray dryer feeding with an additional evaporator system. A sanitation-in-place option provides a 30-minute hot water treatment at 95°C to ensure hygiene. This evaporator is particularly suitable for the complete range of infant formula and other dairy products, guaranteeing 20-hour production runs without mesophilic and thermophilic spore growth. The supplier of this equipment is Tetra Pak.
