Forced circulation evaporator for tomato and fruit paste
In the production of high-quality tomato and fruit pastes, managing highly viscous and super-hot break products is a primary challenge. Ensuring minimal downtime and reducing the risk of burning while maintaining consistent output is paramount.

Efficiently process super-hot break products
The Forced Circulation Evaporator from JBT is specifically designed to handle the complexities of producing tomato and fruit pastes. This system processes highly viscous and super-hot break products using a series of multiple effect evaporators. Each effect includes a vertical tube-nest, liquid vapor separation chamber, and recirculation pump. The vertical tube nests act as tube-in-shell heat exchangers with upward forced flow recirculation. What sets this evaporator apart is its capability to operate for over 45 days without downtime, controlled start-up, and shut-down via a PC/PLC system, and low temperature processing to avoid overcooking. With minimized risk of burning in the heat exchanger, this system ensures consistent operation and high-quality output. Ideal for industries processing baby food, fruits, nuts, juices, beverages, oils, soups, sauces, seasonings, and dressings.
