Small scale continuous evaporator

Ideal for lab and small-scale production, this evaporator offers precise control for reducing liquid bulk into concentrates like milk powder or fruit juice, enhancing process efficiency and consistency.

Performs Continuous Liquid Evaporation

The Anhydro MicraVap 100 is a flexible laboratory tubular evaporator designed to meet the demands of continuous evaporation in small-scale operations. It integrates seamlessly into research and development environments, as well as niche production lines in industries like dairy, food, and pharmaceuticals. Featuring a vertical tubular calandria and tubular condenser, the MicraVap 100 efficiently separates and condenses vapors in one streamlined process. This unit is ideal for creating diverse end-products such as milk powder, whey protein concentrate, and plant-based milk alternatives. Operating at optimized energy levels, it enhances solvent recovery while reducing energy consumption. Constructed from stainless steel for corrosion resistance, all components are consolidated on a skid for easy implementation and maintenance. With accessibility for inspection and cleaning, it offers durability and compliance with industry standards, facilitating reliable operation and assured quality in evaporation processes. Customizable to bespoke R&D requirements, it supports precise control, essential for innovative product development and small-scale production challenges.
