Evaporator & Concentrator
Model HTK-ZFQ-01 evaporator, also called a concentrator, with a working capacity of 1000 to 30,000 litres per hour in SUS304. It is used on milk powder, fruit juice powder, concentrated fruit juice, fruit jam, tomato paste and tomato ketchup production lines.
- SUS304 stainless steel
Product Overview
Model HTK-ZFQ-01 evaporator, also called a concentrator, with a working capacity of 1000 to 30,000 litres per hour in SUS304. It is used on milk powder, fruit juice powder, concentrated fruit juice, fruit jam, tomato paste and tomato ketchup production lines. Falling film, forced circulation and small scale laboratory concentrator types are available, and the unit is designed to the client's requirements with PLC and touch screen control.
Key Benefits
- Three evaporator types so the design follows the product's viscosity and heat sensitivity
- Capacity 1000 to 30,000 litres per hour
- Laboratory scale version for product development before scaling up
- PLC and touch screen control with full instrumentation
- Reduces volume for storage and transport between seasons
Problems It Solves
- Storage and freight cost of shipping product that is mostly water
- Heat damage to delicate products during concentration
- Viscous products that will not circulate in a falling film unit
- Laboratory results that do not transfer to production equipment
Where It Is Used
Applications And Buyers

- Number of effects for energy efficiency
- Integration with spray drying downstream
- Control and recording arrangement
Compared With The Alternatives
| Falling film versus forced circulation | Falling film is efficient on low viscosity product; forced circulation handles viscous and fouling products such as paste that will not flow as a film. |
|---|---|
| Spray dryer | The evaporator removes most of the water economically; the spray dryer takes the concentrate the rest of the way to powder. Powder lines usually need both. |
Use Guide
- Choose the type by product viscosity and fouling tendency
- Prove the recipe on the laboratory concentrator before ordering production scale
- Consider multiple effects where steam cost matters
- Plan the condenser cooling water supply with the unit
