High-concentration dairy evaporator
Achieve high solids concentrations with enhanced efficiency by integrating this evaporator into your production line, optimizing energy usage through advanced thermal vapor recompression technology for diverse liquid and slurry applications.
Concentrates Liquids and Slurries Efficiently
The Hi-Con Evaporator from Kovalus Separation Solutions is a highly specialized Thermo Vapor Recompression (TVR) system engineered for efficient concentration of dairy and industrial products. Uniquely capable of handling high-solid content, this evaporator utilizes advanced tubular heat exchange and falling film design, ensuring optimal surface area and vapor velocity management for continuous operation. Its applications range from dairy permeate concentrates and sweetened condensed milk to pharmaceutical-grade lactose and biogas cleaning solutions.
Operating with precision, the Hi-Con Evaporator can concentrate feed solids to discharge concentrations of up to 75%, with an integrated automation system that allows for seamless operation and control. Its thermocompressor technology minimizes steam consumption, enhancing energy efficiency by recycling plant steam to reduce operational costs. This equipment is made from 316L stainless steel for superior corrosion resistance, making it a robust choice for various industries including dairy, food, and life sciences.
The design incorporates advanced automation features such as automatic density control and forward flow capability for rapid startups and efficient cleaning. Its embedded integration allows for easy connection with existing systems, supported by CIP-ready designs promoting efficient, contamination-free maintenance. With a focus on flexibility, reliability, and efficiency, Kovalus offers customization options and comprehensive engineering support to align the Hi-Con Evaporator with specific production needs.
