Plate-type Four-effect Evaporator Used in Food Processing Concentration 1T/H Capacity
Product Spotlights
Qingdao Conqinphi Environmental Technology Group Co., Ltd., a leading manufacturer established in 2015 with a factory area of 10,000-30,000 square meters and a team of 201-300 employees, proudly presents our Plate-type Four-effect Evaporator designed specifically for food processing concentration. With an annual export value of US$10-50 million and serving markets across North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Oceania, we bring global expertise to every unit. This evaporator is engineered to efficiently concentrate fruit juices, dairy products, and other liquid foods while preserving quality and flavor. Its compact plate design and four-effect energy-saving system deliver outstanding performance with low operating costs.
Our evaporator features a modular plate heat exchanger configuration that maximizes heat transfer surface area while minimizing footprint. The four-effect principle allows vapor from one effect to heat the next, significantly reducing steam consumption. With a capacity of 1 ton per hour (1,000 kg/h), it is ideal for medium-scale production lines. The system is built with high-grade stainless steel materials to meet food hygiene standards and is available with optional PLC automation for precise control of temperature, pressure, and flow rates.
Key Features & Technical Specifications
- High Energy Efficiency: Four-effect design reduces steam consumption by up to 60% compared to single-effect evaporators. Typical steam consumption: ~0.4 kg steam per kg water evaporated.
- Gentle Concentration: Low evaporation temperature (50-70°C) preserves heat-sensitive nutrients and flavors, ideal for fruit juice, milk, and pharmaceutical extracts.
- Compact Plate Design: Plate heat exchangers offer higher heat transfer coefficients (up to 3-5 times tubular types) and easier cleaning. CIP (Clean-in-Place) compatible.
- Flexible Operation: Adjustable residence time and temperature profile to suit different products. Optional automatic control with touchscreen interface.
- Food-Grade Materials: All product contact parts are made of SS304 or SS316L, with sanitary tri-clamp connections and polished surfaces (Ra ≤ 0.6 μm).
- Robust Construction: Frame made of carbon steel with anti-corrosion coating. Designed for continuous 24/7 operation with minimal maintenance.
