Milk product evaporator for high solids concentration
Efficiently concentrate milk products to high solids, optimizing production with minimal energy use, and streamlined integration into existing processes.
Concentrates Liquids into Powders and Slurries
The Hi-Con Evaporator and CrystalLac™ Crystallizing Evaporator from Kovalus Separation Solutions are engineered to optimize concentration processes across diverse industries such as dairy, food, and general industrial applications. Utilizing MVR and TVR technology, these systems facilitate multi-stage evaporation, efficiently processing liquid feeds into high-value powders like whey protein concentrate and lactose powder. Designed for continuous high-speed operations, they can adjust to various feed concentrations, achieving up to 62% total solids, suitable for demanding production lines. The units boast energy efficiency through oversized turbo fans and integrated balance tanks, ensuring minimal footprint and extended operation times. With 316L stainless steel options, they cater to stringent hygiene and corrosion resistance requirements, providing robust solutions for complex production environments.
