Automatic Plate-type Four-effect Evaporator 316L Stainless Steel 380V 50Hz With CIP
Product Spotlights
As a leading manufacturer with over 8 years of expertise, Qingdao Conqinphi Environmental Technology Group Co., Ltd. proudly presents our Automatic Plate-type Four-effect Evaporator — a high-efficiency concentration solution engineered for industries demanding precision and reliability. Crafted from premium 316L stainless steel and rated at 380V 50Hz, this evaporator integrates a robust CIP (Clean-in-Place) system to ensure sanitary operation and minimal downtime. It is designed to dramatically reduce energy consumption through its four-effect plate design, offering significant operational cost savings while preserving product quality.
Our evaporator is the result of years of R&D and field experience, built to meet the rigorous standards of food, dairy, pharmaceutical, and chemical processing. With a factory spanning 10,000–30,000 square meters and a dedicated team of 201–300 employees, we deliver equipment that balances advanced automation with user-friendly maintenance. The unit's PLC-based control system ensures precise monitoring of temperature, pressure, and flow, while the four-effect arrangement maximizes heat recovery and minimizes steam consumption.
Key Technical Features
- Four-effect plate design: High thermal efficiency, reduced energy usage by up to 40% compared to single-effect evaporators.
- 316L stainless steel construction: Superior corrosion resistance, ideal for acidic or saline feed solutions, and fully weldable for sanitary connections.
- Built-in CIP system: Automatic cleaning cycles eliminate manual disassembly, ensuring compliance with hygiene standards.
- PLC+HMI control: Touch-screen interface with data logging, alarm management, and remote monitoring capability (optional).
- Compact footprint: Plate configuration requires less floor space than traditional tubular designs.
- Wide capacity range: Units can be customized from 500 L/h to over 5000 L/h evaporation rate.
- Multiple effect options: While standard is four-effect, designs for three-effect or five-effect are available on request.

Advantages for Your Process
- Energy savings: Four-effect design recovers latent heat from vapor, cutting steam costs by 30–50% versus single-effect units.
- Product quality preservation: Low residence time and gentle evaporation minimize thermal degradation of heat-sensitive products (e.g., milk, juice, enzymes).
- Reduced downtime: Automated CIP cycles clean all product-contact surfaces in less than 90 minutes, allowing quick changeovers between batches.
- Easy scalability: Modular plate frames allow capacity upgrades by adding or replacing plates without changing the entire system.
- Hygienic design: All interior surfaces are polishable to Ra ≤ 0.8 μm, free of dead legs, and fully drainable to prevent bacterial growth.
- Operator safety: Vacuum-assisted operation at lower temperatures reduces risk of burns; interlock system ensures safe access during maintenance.
Our evaporator is suitable for a wide range of applications including dairy (milk, whey), fruit juices, sugar solutions, corn syrup, pharmaceutical extracts, and chemical intermediates. The plate-type construction offers excellent heat transfer coefficients and easy inspection compared to tube bundles. Each unit undergoes rigorous factory testing (FAT) before shipment to verify performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Q: What materials can be processed in this evaporator?
A: The 316L stainless steel construction is compatible with aqueous solutions, acidic or alkaline feeds (pH 2–12), dairy products, fruit juices, and many chemical liquors. For highly corrosive media, optional titanium or duplex steel plates are available. -
Q: Is the CIP system fully automatic?
A: Yes. The integrated CIP system includes a dedicated pump, tank, and automated valve manifold. The cleaning cycle (pre-rinse, caustic wash, intermediate rinse, acid wash, final rinse) is controlled via the PLC with adjustable time and temperature parameters. -
Q: What is the typical payback period for energy savings?
A: Depending on local steam costs and operating hours, customers often achieve payback within 12–24 months due to the four-effect design reducing steam consumption by 60–70% compared to single-effect evaporators. -
Q: Can the evaporator handle viscous or fouling products?
A: Plate-type evaporators are generally less prone to fouling than tubular types due to higher turbulence. For products with high viscosity or suspended solids, we offer specially designed plate gaps and optional scraped-surface sections. A pilot test is recommended to confirm feasibility. -
Q: What certifications does the evaporator comply with?
A: Our factory operates under ISO9001:2015, ISO14000, OHSAS18001, and HACCP certifications. The evaporator can be manufactured according to ASME, PED, or GB150 codes upon request. CE marking is available for European markets. -
Q: What is the lead time and shipping method?
A: Standard lead time is 45–60 days after down payment. We ship via sea freight from Qingdao Port. The unit is partially disassembled and packed in wooden crates with desiccant and export-standard wrapping. On-site assembly support is provided. -
Q: Do you offer a warranty?
A: Yes, we provide a 12-month warranty from the date of commissioning or 18 months from shipment, whichever comes first. Extended warranty plans are available as an option. -
Q: How do I determine the correct capacity for my application?
A: We recommend providing your feed flow rate, initial concentration, target concentration, and operating hours per day. Our process engineers will calculate the required evaporation capacity and propose the optimal number of effects and plate arrangement.
