Evaporator ALFA-LAVAL

Concentration and Aroma Recovery. Concentration of juice from deciduous fmit is best carried out using an evaporator that causes as httle thermal degradation as possible and that permits recovery of volatile materials important to the aroma of the fresh fmit, ie, essence. Evaporators that use a high temperature for a short time and operate under a vacuum, such as the APV Crepaco falling film plate evaporator or the Alfa Laval centrifugal... 

Use of a novel Alfa-Laval plate heat exchanger system for caustic evaporation. 

It is also worth noting that Alfa Laval has developed a process evaporator for fruit juice and milk concentration using a nested stack of cones. Figure 16... 

The Centritherm-Evaporator (27) is very popular for the concentration of passion fruit juice. This is a one-stage rotary thin film evaporator which can be fitted with or without aroma recovery. Originally developed by Alfa Laval for concentrating sensitive products in the pharmaceutical industry, this machine is now sold and serviced by FLAVOURTECH Pty. Ltd (27). For the very efficient recovery of the aroma FLA-VOURTECH can also offer a so-called Spinning Cone Column which has been successfully applied for the recovery of difficult-to-recover aromas such as coffee aroma. 

In a design for a 25-year pump life for a Danish nuclear plant, Alfa Laval used copper nickel alloys in the evaporator and titanium for the heat-transfer tubing.
