Vacuum evaporator EVAPOR

EVAPOR is the ideal equipment for concentration of heat sensitive, viscous and high value products. Active ingredients contained in many extracts (herbal, food, coffee), juices, dairy and pharmaceutical products are susceptible to heat denaturation. The preservation of these active ingredients is of huge importance, especially during the concentration stage where heat is applied to evaporate the water or solvent. OPERATING PRINCIPLE EVAPOR is a single effect, thin-film centrifugal evaporator that works under vacuum. Its design assures a minimal thermal impact due to low temperature evaporation (from 35oC), very thin and homogeneous liquid film (less than 0.1mm) formed by the centrifugal force of the spinning cone and extremely short contact time - less than 1 second - of the product with heating surface ensures in minimal to no impact on flavor, color and active ingredients to a degree not possible to be achieved by conventional evaporators. EVAPOR has a small heat transfer surface in relation to its heat transfer capacity, therefore resulting in a compact design with the capability to evaporate far more water per unit area than traditional evaporators and at a fraction of the time. The centrifugal design helps the EVAPOR to achieve higher concentration level than traditional evaporators. Over 620 "EVAPOR" units have been delivered worldwide for a wide variety of applications in industries such as pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, fine chemical, biochemical, food & beverage, among others.
