Mechanical vapor recompression evaporator for pre-concentration in food industry
In food processing, pre-concentration of products is crucial to improve efficiency and reduce energy consumption. Traditional methods often fall short in terms of energy efficiency, maintenance, and operational cost, necessitating advanced solutions for these challenges.
Efficiently pre-concentrate food products using vapor recompression.
The Anhydro MVR Evaporator by SPX Flow is designed to enhance the pre-concentration of food products through Mechanical Vapor Recompression (MVR). This evaporator recompresses all vapor from the vapor separator to heat the first stage, achieving significant energy savings. The vapor passes through a compressor or high-pressure fan, which increases the vapor pressure by a factor of 1.2 to 2.0, thus providing the necessary energy and temperature difference required for evaporation. This technology is particularly beneficial in the food industry, where the MVR evaporator often serves as a pre-concentrator followed by a finisher. By utilizing MVR, this evaporator minimizes energy consumption and operational costs, making it a sustainable and economical choice for food processing applications.
