Mixing & concentration
Falling-Film Evaporator
A small evaporator that removes water from juice, syrup or dairy liquids to test how they behave as they get more concentrated.
How the equipment works
The liquid runs down the inside of heated tubes in a thin layer so water can evaporate. In this design, the stages use different pressures so heat from one stage helps heat the next.
A test shows how the product changes as it loses water. The controls in this setup track temperature, pressure and flow. The setup depends on how thick the liquid is, how it reacts to heat and whether it sticks to hot surfaces.
The starting and target concentrations, batch size, site connections and sampling needs shape the setup. Capacity varies by setup.
