Forced circulation evaporator for tomato and fruit paste
Optimize your high-viscosity tomato and fruit paste production with our forced circulation evaporator, designed to maintain quality while efficiently handling super-hot break products.

Concentrates and Processes High-Viscosity Liquids
The Forced Circulation Evaporator Model 3514 from JBT is engineered to meet the challenges of high-viscosity product concentration in food and beverage applications. Utilizing a series of multiple effect evaporators, this system employs tube-in-shell heat exchangers for efficient recirculation, ensuring a consistent and reliable separation process. Ideal for producing end-products like tomato paste, fruit puree, and nut butter, the Model 3514 excels in maintaining quality with a capacity to process super-hot break products. Operating continuously, the evaporator is controlled by an advanced PC/PLC system, reducing the risk of overcooking and minimizing energy use with a lower temperature profile. Designed for robust integration, it supports seamless incorporation into automated production lines, enhancing throughput and maintaining product integrity. Available in durable materials, it offers minimal maintenance downtime with cleaning solutions to match stringent hygiene standards, ensuring compliance and long-term performance.
