Small-scale falling film evaporator
When dealing with temperature-sensitive liquids or products with small amounts of solids in industrial applications, evaporation processes must be efficient and gentle to maintain product integrity and enhance concentration levels.
Efficient concentration for sensitive products
The GEA CompaCon® Evaporators are highly adaptable and compact evaporators designed for small-scale production. Utilizing Falling Film (FF) and Forced Circulation (FC) evaporation technologies, these units are suitable for diverse applications from food production to chemical processing and waste-water treatment. The FF Series caters to evaporation capacities ranging from 20 to 3000 liters per hour and is particularly suited for temperature-sensitive products. It incorporates multiple sizes powered by either thermal energy through a Thermal Vapor Recompressor (TVR) or Mechanical Vapor Recompressor (MVR), with the latter offering a fully electrical, steam-free operation to minimize CO2 emissions. The CompaCon® Evaporators come preassembled on skids and are designed for rapid installation and commissioning. All components fit within a sea freight container and can be functional within a week of delivery. GEA’s standardized Codex HMI ensures seamless integration with existing systems and offers ease of use.
