Detailed Product Description
The 260KLD Triple-effect Plate Evaporator is designed to concentrate liquid solutions efficiently by utilizing three stages of evaporation. The feed enters the first effect, where it is heated by steam. The vapor generated is then used as the heating medium for the second effect, and the vapor from the second effect heats the third. This cascading heat recovery reduces overall steam consumption by approximately 60% compared to single-effect systems.
All product contact surfaces are made from 304 stainless steel, ensuring excellent resistance to corrosion from acidic or alkaline liquids, and easy cleaning for applications requiring high hygiene standards. The plate-type heat exchangers offer a compact design with high heat transfer coefficients, meaning less floor space is required for the same capacity. Each plate is individually gasketed and can be easily removed for inspection or replacement, simplifying maintenance.
The compact design also facilitates installation: the unit is delivered in pre-assembled modules that can be quickly connected on-site. This reduces installation time and labor costs, making it an ideal choice for projects with tight schedules. The evaporator can be operated under vacuum to lower boiling temperatures, which is beneficial for heat-sensitive products like fruit juices, dairy, or pharmaceutical intermediates.
Standard accessories include a vapor-liquid separator, condensate collection system, and control valves. Optional upgrades include automatic CIP (Clean-in-Place) systems, PLC with HMI touchscreen, and remote monitoring capabilities. The 260KLD model is suitable for a wide range of industries, including food and beverage, chemical, pharmaceutical, and wastewater treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is the typical payback period for this evaporator?
A: The payback period depends on energy costs and operating hours. Generally, customers see a return on investment within 12–24 months due to significant steam savings from the triple-effect design.
Q2: Can this evaporator handle viscous or fouling liquids?
A: Yes, the plate-type design allows for higher turbulence and better heat transfer, which reduces fouling. For extremely viscous liquids, we recommend optional features like increased plate spacing or a forced circulation loop. Please consult our engineers for specific applications.
Q3: What utilities are required for operation?
A: The main utilities are steam (or hot water), cooling water, and electricity for pumps and controls. The exact consumption depends on the feed characteristics. We provide a detailed utility consumption sheet with each proposal.
Q4: Is the unit compliant with food safety standards?
A: The 304 stainless steel construction and sanitary design make it suitable for food processing. Our company holds HACCP certification, and the evaporator can be designed to meet specific regulatory requirements such as FDA or EU standards upon request.
Q5: How long does installation take?
A: Thanks to the compact and modular design, installation typically takes 2–4 weeks depending on site conditions. Our technical team provides on-site supervision to ensure a smooth setup.
Q6: What is the warranty period?
A: We offer a standard 12-month warranty from the date of commissioning, covering manufacturing defects. Extended warranty options are available upon request.
Q7: Can I get a customized capacity or design?
A: Absolutely. We can customize the number of effects, heat transfer area, material grade, and automation level to match your specific process requirements. Please contact our sales team with your process parameters.
Q8: Do you provide spare parts and technical support?
A: Yes, we maintain a stock of common spare parts such as gaskets, plates, and valves. Technical support is available via email, phone, or video call. We also offer on-site maintenance services in many regions.
