Evaporator (6-62% Total Solids)

Our MVR and TVR evaporator systems are designed with maximum flexibility to concentrate a wide variety of dairy products to a high total solids percentage

RELCO^®’s Evaporator is specifically designed to evaporate a variety of milk products, including skim and whole milk, whey, and permeate. Pre-evaporators are designed for a feed concentration generally between 6% and 24% total solids, and will concentrate up to 35% to 45% total solids, depending on the application. From there a finisher is used to concentrate to higher solids, up to 62% total solids. Operating temperatures of each stage are controlled to maintain optimum product quality. RELCO can utilize MVR and/or TVR technology for each stage of evaporation.

Features & Benefits

Generous surface area is used in each calandria to promote longer run times with increased efficiency
Each calandria is divided into several passes as required to allow greater tube wetting rates, promoting longer run times with increased efficiency
Turbofans are selected for large pressure rise with oversized motor, allowing for longer run times while using only the energy required
Evaporator balance tank is integrated into the calandria base for reduced equipment footprint
316L product contact surfaces are available, and sometimes required based on the application. to lengthen the service life of the evaporator
