Evaporator systems for various applications in the dairy industry Evaporators, also known as concentrators, have been used for more than a century (since 1913). As well as multistage steam-heated evaporators, Bucher Merk also supplies plants with thermal or mechanical vapour recompression. PLC-based controls allow the simple and user-friendly supervision. Falling film evaporators with mechanical vapour recompression (MVR) Evaporators with Mechanical Vapour Recompression (MVR) are operated with a high-pressure blower where the recompressed steam is used for the heating of the product. An MVR-evaporator can run on relatively low evaporation temperatures. Thanks to the low thermal load, concentrated products of superior quality can be produced. MVR-evaporators have considerably lower evaporation costs when compared to other designs. To evaluate this, it’s vital to consider the costs for steam, electricity and cooling water. Our specialists are eager to advise you on the most economical solution for your task. Thanks to our broad experience in designing evaporators, Bucher is your ideal partner for solutions for the concentration of: Whole-milk and skimmed milk Whey Condensed Milk Technical data for milk evaporators Type: Falling film evaporator Evaporation capacity: up to 50 t/h per unit Vapour recompression: mechanical or thermal
