This system is engineered for small-scale concentration in food, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries, delivering exceptional energy efficiency and reliability in a footprint that fits tight spaces. Our team of 201–300 employees, backed by ISO9000, ISO14000, and HACCP certifications, ensures every unit meets rigorous quality standards. Whether you need to concentrate fruit juice, dairy, or wastewater, this compact evaporator offers a cost-effective solution with minimal installation complexity.
Key Features & Technical Specifications
- 2-Effect Design — Maximizes steam economy by reusing vapor from the first effect as heating medium for the second effect, reducing overall energy consumption by up to 40% compared to single-effect units.
- 304 Stainless Steel Construction — All wetted parts in contact with product are made of food-grade 304 SS, ensuring corrosion resistance, long service life, and compliance with sanitary standards.
- 4 m² Evaporator Area — Optimized for throughput of 150–300 L/h (depending on product viscosity and concentration ratio), ideal for batch or continuous small-scale operations.
- Operating Steam at 0.3 MPa — Low-pressure steam requirement (saturated steam at 143°C) allows use of standard industrial boilers or even steam from cogeneration systems.
- 10 kW Electric Power — Primarily for control system, pumps, and auxiliary heaters; low electrical load makes it easy to integrate into existing facilities without upgrading electrical infrastructure.
- IP54 Control Box — Dust-protected and splash-proof enclosure, suitable for humid or wash-down environments common in food processing plants.
- Compact Footprint — Overall dimensions approximately 2500×1200×1800 mm (W×D×H), allowing placement on mezzanines or mobile skids.
- Automatic Operation — PLC-based control with touchscreen interface; parameters like temperature, pressure, and liquid level are monitored and adjusted automatically.

Advantages & Customer Benefits
- Energy Savings: The 2-effect design reduces steam consumption by ~40% compared to single-effect, lowering operating costs significantly for small-scale producers.
- Space Efficiency: The compact skid-mounted design requires minimal floor space; can be installed in areas with limited headroom.
- Easy Maintenance: 304 SS construction is easy to clean and resists fouling; all heat exchanger plates (or tubes) are accessible for inspection and cleaning.
- Flexible Application: Suitable for concentrating fruit juices, milk, whey, sugar solutions, herbal extracts, and industrial wastewater with low to medium viscosity.
- Compliance Ready: Designed with food-grade materials and can be integrated with CIP (Clean-in-Place) systems; meets HACCP and GMP guidelines.
- Reliable Components: Equipped with branded pumps (e.g., Grundfos), control valves, and Schneider electrics for long-term dependability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
Q: What types of liquids can this MEE unit concentrate?
A: It works well for aqueous solutions with low to medium viscosity, such as fruit juices, milk, whey, sugar syrups, herbal extracts, and dilute wastewater. For highly viscous or fouling-prone products, we recommend optional modifications. -
Q: What is the minimum steam pressure required?
A: The unit is designed for 0.3 MPa (gauge) saturated steam. Operating at lower pressure may reduce capacity; we can adjust design for different steam conditions upon request. -
Q: Does the unit come with a vacuum system?
A: Yes, it includes a vacuum pump to maintain the low boiling temperature in the last effect, enhancing energy efficiency and product quality. -
Q: How is the control system configured?
A: Standard control includes a PLC with a 7-inch color touchscreen. Parameters such as evaporation temperature, vacuum, feed rate, and product density are monitored. Remote monitoring (SCADA) is optional. -
Q: What certifications does the equipment have?
A: Our manufacturing facility holds ISO9001, ISO14000, HACCP, and other certifications. Specific product certificates (e.g., CE, ASME) can be provided upon request depending on the target market. -
Q: Can the unit be used for heat-sensitive products?
A: Yes, the 2-effect design operates at lower temperatures (around 60–70°C in the last effect under vacuum) which helps preserve flavor, color, and nutritional value. -
Q: What is the typical delivery time?
A: For standard configurations, delivery is 30–45 working days. Custom designs may take 50–60 working days. We offer expedited shipping for urgent orders. -
Q: Do you provide installation and commissioning support?
A: Yes, we can send an engineer to supervise installation and commissioning at the customer's site (travel costs apply). Alternatively, we provide detailed manuals and remote guidance.
