Plate Evaporators
Plate evaporators use corrugated plate channels to transfer heat from steam or another heating medium into a process liquid, vaporizing solvent and concentrating the product. The high heat-transfer coefficient, compact hold-up volume, and cleanable plate structure make the equipment useful for food, dairy, beverage, pharmaceutical, chemical, wastewater, and crystallization processes.

Product Details
Process fit
Plate evaporators are useful where compact heat-transfer area, short residence time, and cleanability are important for concentration or solvent removal.
System integration
They can be configured with vapor-liquid separation, condensers, MVR compressors, circulation pumps, and crystallization equipment to match the process flow.
Key Advantages
Corrugated plates create high turbulence and efficient evaporation in compact equipment.
Low liquid hold-up supports short residence time for heat-sensitive materials.
Openable or cleanable designs support inspection, descaling, and sanitation planning.
Capacity can be adapted by plate area, number of effects, circulation mode, and heating medium.
Material options support food, pharmaceutical, chemical, and corrosive evaporation duties.
Can be integrated with MVR, multi-effect evaporation, condensation, and crystallization systems.
