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.

Benefits

  • Enhances product quality by preventing overcooking through low-temperature processing.
  • Minimizes operational interruptions with continuous operation exceeding 45 days.
  • Reduces maintenance costs by ensuring the heat exchanger remains consistently wet, preventing burning.
  • Increases production efficiency with automated start-up and shutdown via a PC/PLC system.
  • Adaptable for challenging high-viscosity products, expanding processing capabilities.
