The Alfa Laval ViscoVap tubular evaporator concentrates highly viscous, heat-sensitive liquids with fibre and solid contents under low-temperature vacuum conditions. Compact and efficient, it is more resistant to fouling due to high flow rates, high heat transfer efficiency, and a self-cleaning effect. This reduces energy, water, cleaning media costs while generating less effluent. Perfect for concentrating foodstuffs like fruit and vegetable purées as well as finishing effluent concentration.
Concentrate on quality and yield of high-viscosity, heat-sensitive products at low temperature and high heat transfer efficiency
- Preserves the quality of highly viscous, heat-sensitive products
- Minimal fouling risks due high velocity, high shear stress, smooth heat transfer surfaces, and self-cleaning effect
- More uptime due to reliable, robust, self-cleaning construction
- Versatile, modular design makes it easy to process various products with similar physical properties and adapt capacity as needed
- High yields due to long running times – ideal for uninterrupted processing of fresh produce during harvest season
