Hybrid evaporator T.A.S.T.E.

forced circulationprocessfor the food industry

Overview
Our T.A.S.T.E. Evaporator (Thermally Accelerated Short-Time Evaporation) is a pre-evaporator designed to provide pasteurization and stabilization of juices during the pre-heating cycle and after the first evaporation stage. In the tube nest the juice is injected as a turbulent fog to achieve a heat-transfer rate far above conventional conditions; flow acceleration in the tubes can reach approximately 700 km/hour.

Key benefits

• Flow rate reduction up to 50%
• Total residence time of 4–5 minutes
• Lower thermal damage and significant energy savings
• Minimal product recirculation for improved process integrity
• Low installation and maintenance costs; simple operation
• Quick changeover between fruit juices and tomato processing (MPTE configuration)

Details

• Optimized for citrus juice concentrates and other clear fruit juices
• Operates as an efficient pre-evaporator when combined with a Forced Circulation Evaporator stage
• Multi-Purpose T.A.S.T.E. (MPTE) variant handles tomato paste
• Tube-nest design promotes turbulent fog injection for high heat-transfer coefficients

Versions

• Forced Circulation Evaporator
• Hybrid Evaporator
