Falling film plate evaporators for fruit juice concentration
Achieve precise concentration of liquid products with minimal thermal impact using innovative falling film technology, ideal for preserving flavor and quality in sensitive applications like fruit juice and dairy concentrate production.
Concentrates and Separates Liquids Efficiently
The Falling Film Plate Evaporator from SPX FLOW is engineered to optimize your liquid concentration processes across beverage, dairy, food, and pharmaceutical industries. This evaporator stands out with its patented distribution system for even product spread and low wetting rates, ensuring efficient single-pass operation. Catering to a range of applications, from orange juice concentrate to non-alcoholic beer, it operates on a continuous basis, utilizing multiple effect or mechanical vapor recompression (MVR) techniques for energy efficiency. Capable of processing 2,000 to 60,000 lbs/hr, it facilitates seamless integration into your production line and is constructed to withstand harsh processing environments, offering material options to suit various chemical compatibilities. The system supports Clean-in-Place (CIP) practices, promoting quick and contamination-free cleaning while customizable features and engineering support ensure it fits your specific production needs.
