Falling film concentrators for low viscosity fruit juices
Achieve high concentration levels in fruit and dairy products while preserving natural qualities and reducing energy costs, thanks to advanced modular design and efficient heat exchange processes.
Concentrates and Purifies Liquid Products Efficiently
The TFF ARES Falling Film Evaporator by Tropical Food Machinery offers an innovative solution for juice and dairy product concentration. Utilizing a vacuum-assisted falling film process, this evaporator excels in preserving delicate organoleptic qualities by operating under reduced temperatures, ideal for products like grape and orange juice concentrates, coconut water, and sweetened condensed milk. With a throughput of 10,000 to 50,000 liters per hour, it efficiently maximizes yield while minimizing energy consumption through a steam recompression system. Its modular design ensures seamless integration into existing production lines, and the system’s multiple-effect stages (up to six) allow for precise temperature control, enhancing concentration accuracy. Constructed with durable materials suitable for food-grade applications, the TFF ARES is designed for easy cleaning and maintenance, offering options for fully automated operation and monitoring for minimal downtime and increased productivity.
