Key Product Features
- Superior Material Construction: All product contact parts are made of 304 Stainless Steel, ensuring excellent corrosion resistance, easy cleaning, and compliance with dairy hygiene standards.
- PLC Controlled Automation: The integrated Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) provides precise control over temperature, vacuum level, feed rate, and concentration ratio. It enables automatic start-up, shut-down, and real-time monitoring, reducing manual intervention and human error.
- Long Tube Vertical Design: The vertical tube arrangement offers a larger heat transfer area in a compact footprint, efficient use of floor space, and excellent liquid distribution, resulting in uniform concentration and minimal fouling.
- Energy Efficient Operation: Optional vapor recompression (thermal or mechanical) can be integrated to reuse latent heat, significantly lowering steam consumption. The evaporator is designed for low-temperature evaporation under vacuum, preserving milk proteins and nutrients.
- Customizable Evaporation Capacity: Available in a range from 500 kg/h to 5,000 kg/h (and higher upon request), the system can be scaled to match your production line requirements.
- Hygienic Design & Easy Maintenance: Smooth surfaces, CIP (Clean-in-Place) compatibility, and quick-disconnect fittings minimize downtime and ensure thorough sanitation between batches.
- Remote Monitoring & Data Logging: The PLC system can be connected to a central control room or SCADA for remote operation, recipe management, and historical data tracking – perfect for quality control and traceability.

Advantages for Your Dairy Business
- Preserve Product Quality: Low-temperature evaporation under vacuum prevents protein denaturation and maintains the natural flavor and nutritional value of milk.
- Reduce Operating Costs: PLC automation lowers labor costs and optimizes steam usage. Energy-saving options like MVR (Mechanical Vapor Recompression) can cut energy consumption by up to 50%.
- Enhanced Hygiene & Safety: 304 SS construction, CIP capability, and automatic alarms for temperature/pressure deviations ensure safe, hygienic operation.
- Flexible Production: Quick changeover between different milk types (whole, skim, whey) via programmable recipes – minimal downtime.
- Global Compatibility: Designed to meet international standards, with electrical components available for diverse voltage/frequency requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
Q: What is the maximum concentration ratio achievable for whole milk?
A: The typical final total solids concentration can reach 45–50%, depending on the initial solids content and the specific configuration. Higher concentrations (e.g., up to 55%) are possible with a two-effect or multi-effect design – we can customize based on your target. -
Q: Can this evaporator handle liquids with high fouling tendency, like whey?
A: Yes. The long tube vertical design with PLC-controlled parameters minimizes hot spots and fouling. For high-fouling products, we recommend optional features like forced circulation or additional cleaning cycles. Our engineers can advise the best design for your specific product. -
Q: What utilities are required for operation?
A: The system typically requires steam (3–6 bar), cooling water, compressed air (for valves), and electricity. We provide a detailed utility consumption list with your proposal. -
Q: Is CIP (Clean-in-Place) system included?
A: The evaporator is designed for CIP compatibility. A dedicated CIP pump and tank can be supplied as optional components. The PLC can include CIP sequence programs. -
Q: What is the typical delivery time?
A: Standard lead time is 30–45 days after order confirmation, depending on capacity and customization. We can expedite for urgent projects. -
Q: Do you offer installation and commissioning services?
A: Yes, we provide on-site installation guidance and commissioning support by experienced engineers. Remote assistance is also available via video. -
Q: What certifications does your company hold?
A: We are certified under ISO9001, ISO14000, OHSAS18001, HACCP, and several other management systems. Our products can also be designed to meet FDA or GMP requirements upon request. -
