When product-sensitive and energy-saving applications are involved, the EVAPplus plate falling film evaporators are exactly the right choice. State-of-the art technology ensures high-efficiency concentration of juice from sugar beet and cane. The special feature of EVAPplus is the combination of tube and plate evaporators. The plates are arranged in such a way that two separate flow channels result: a tubular channel with 6 or 9 mm diameter for the juice and a corrugated channel for the condensing steam or
vapour. The plate packs are fully welded without the need for gaskets.
Retrofitting Robert-type evaporators
The advantages of the EVAPplus can also be used to achieve greater efficiency by retrofitting existing Robert evaporators. In most cases no changes are necessary to buildings, foundations or the static design of the plant. The calandria from the old Robert evaporator is simply removed and replaced with an EVAPplus plate pack and the respective distributor. With minimum expenditure the heating surface area and the system efficiency is considerably increased.
Simple to clean
The EVAPplus can be easily and quickly cleaned to maintain its maximum performance. Evaporators used for processing beet sugar juices are cleaned at the end of each campaign. When processing cane sugar juice, a sensible cleaning cycle is every one to two weeks.
Outstanding features
- High density of heating surface (170 m²/m³ or 240 m²/m³)
- Outstanding overall heat transfer values
- Low temperature differences
- Short residence time of the of the juice in each effect
- Low juice colour formation

One of the most important fibers, polyamide 6, is produced by polymerization of caprolactam. Large quantities of extraction effluents are produced in this process. The effluents are cleaned in evaporation plants: the valuable substance is recovered, waste products are minimized, and existing energies from the caprolactam production can be used.
Moreover, evaporation plants are used in this process as sump evaporators for distillation plants.
The particular features of GEA Wiegand plants are:
Economic conception in order to minimize the caprolactam losses
Long operating periods thanks to an optimum temperature
Many years of experience in the application of mechanical vapor recompressors

Steep and wash water that contain a high proportion of valuable nutrients are produced during the processing of corn, potatoes and rice. For recovering these nutrients, steep and wash water are concentrated in evaporation plants, namely corn steep water to 50 % TS, wash water from the production of wheat starch to 20 - 30 % TS and potato starch effluent up to 60 - 70 % TS.

For the production of fruit juice, fruit and vegetable juice is concentrated from stone, pomacious and soft fruit from approx. 11 % TS to approx. 72 % TS or citrus juice is concentrated from 10 % TS to 60 - 70 % TS. Normally evaporation plants are used for this.
Before or during the evaporation process, volatile aroma substances are extracted from thin juice. These aroma substances are removed and added to the fruit juice later on for intensifying the typical fruit flavor.
The concentration of fruit and vegetable juice means:
the possibility of compensating differences in quantity and quality of different vintage.
the possibility of compensating fluctuations in price in years of cheap and expensive fruit (large and small harvest)
the possibility of storing 6 or 7 times as much harvest in the existing tank space available
considerably less requirements on the storage process
reduction of investment costs, because the apparatures for the production of concentrate are cheaper and involve lower manufacturing costs than the storage tanks that would be necessary otherwise.
simpler and cheaper transportation, because weight and volume of the juice are reduced to a fraction.

For the production of starch conversion products, the starch molecules are either entirely or partially broken down into their basic constituents by hydrolysis, i.e. by catalytic action of acids and enzymes in an aqueous suspension.
Dextrose
pure D-glucose, a final product that cannot be hydrolytically decomposed any further.
Glucose syrup (starch syrup)
contains D-glucose, maltose, isomaltose and high molecular sugar and it is produced by prematurely stopped hydrolysis. The decomposition degree of this product ranges from 20 to 65 DE. The DE value (dextrose equivalent) indicates the degree of conversion. It refers to the content of D-glucose relative to the total dry substance.
Maltodextrine
a starch decomposition product of less than 20 DE and more than 3 DE.
Maltose syrup
consists of approx. 72 % maltose, 18 % glucose, 10 % iso-maltose. It is produced by enzyme conversion of starch of different origin.
Isoglucose syrup
partially isomerized glucose juice (FCS = high fructose corn syrup).
Typical composition:
D-glucose 53 %
D-fructose 42 %
oligo-saccharide 5 %
The indexes 42, 55 or 70 indicate different fructose contents.
D-sorbitol
reduction product of D-glucose (starting material for vitamin C synthesis).
D-mannitol
reduction product of D-glucose.

Advantages of PPC's Ion-Beam-Sputtered (IBS) Dielectric Thin Films
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Durable, dielectric thin films are easy to clean and chemically resistant
Dense, non-porous structure is insensitive to moisture
Low scatter and absorption losses result in high-damage thresholds
Repeatable, highly controlled process for precise layer control
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At PPC, we use ion-beam sputtering (IBS) technology because IBS is a repeatable and controllable process that results in dense, durable, high-damage-threshold thin films. Since the materials are directly sputtered onto the substrate, the process can be precisely controlled and easily automated so that films can be deposited with extremely high accuracy and repeatability.
Unlike conventional evaporative and ion-assisted films that have porous microstructures, IBS films have extremely densely packed structures that make them impervious to water vapor, resulting in an insensitivity to changes in heat and humidity, even in a vacuum environment.
Types of coatings that PPC does every day on standard or customer-supplied substrates:
High reflectors
Anti-reflection (ARs)
Beamsplitters
Polarizers
Partial reflectors
Dichroic mirrors
Non-polarizers
Low dispersion
Broadband dielectric

OptoSigma supplies a wide selection of optical thin film coatings. These coatings are often provided as part of the optical component but they may also be ordered separately to be applied to an uncoated element. For example, it is possible to apply an Anti-Reflection coating to any uncoated lenses, windows or optical fibers. Also reflecting coatings may be applied to uncoated substrates to form mirrors or partial reflectors. To make this process simple we have listed some of our most common standard coatings. To order you simply append the coating suffix to the base part number and specify the surfaces to be coated. If you don't find the exact coating you need please ask us to provide you with a custom solution. Our coating engineers will use the latest design software and production techniques to provide you with the coating you require.

Thin film coating is a vacuum deposition procedure used to enhance the transmissive properties of an optical surface. The most common types of dielectric coatings are anti-reflection and high reflection coatings, but beam-splitter, band pass filter, edge filter, and polarizing coatings are also available. Because thin film coatings are more durable than optical glass, coatings also help protect an optic surface from scratches and the environment.
Optimax produces optics up to 300mm in diameter with a wide variety of narrow and broadband anti-reflection coatings including doublet interface coatings. Both metal and dielectric mirror coatings are also available. For custom coatings, we utilize TFCalc thin film design software. Please see the reverse side for sample reflectance curves.
Optimax performs test runs of all coatings before beginning production to ensure a good design. We use a Perkin-Elmer Lambda 900 Spectrophotometer to check the performance of the coating upon completion. Adhesion, abrasion, and humidity tests are available to verify coating durability in accordance with sections of MIL-C-675C, MIL-C-48497A, and MIL-C-13508C specifications. Laser damage testing is also available upon customer request.
