High-concentration dairy evaporator
In the dairy industry, achieving high total solids concentration in products is critical for applications like powder processing. Traditional methods often struggle with efficiency, consistency, and energy consumption.

Concentrates up to 75% total solids
The Hi-Con Evaporator from Kovalus Separation Solutions is designed to concentrate dairy permeate from 55-60% total solids to a discharge concentration of 75% total solids. Utilizing Thermal Vapor Recompression (TVR) technology, the Hi-Con Evaporator minimizes steam consumption while maintaining efficiency. The evaporator includes a falling film calandria optimizing surface area and tube wetting. Integrated with a vapor separator and advanced automation, it ensures high-quality condensate and reliable operation. The 316L stainless steel contact surfaces enhance durability, and automatic functions like density control, forward flow capability, and CIP cycles simplify operations. The Hi-Con Evaporator is particularly suited for use with the L-TECH Permeate Drying System for efficient downstream processing.
