Falling Film Evaporator

Falling film evaporators allows following advantages when compared to conventional rising film evaporators.

• Operates at low exhaust pressure and temperature.
• Operates at smaller (delta) t and higher vapour temp which results in steam saving.
• Short retention time, minimizing inversion losses and colour formation.
• Higher heat transfer co-efficient.
• Less floor space and can be installed in open.(no building required)

Salient Features

• Gravity flow design.
• Multi tray cascade design juice distribution system, ensuring uniform wetting of the tubes and formation of film.
• Hexagonal construction distributor with bolting arrangement.
• Guide fins fitted at bottom layer of distributor tray to ensure smooth entry of juice on the ligament area.
• Long vertical tubes. (6 - 12 meters long, hence smaller diameter)
• Baffle plates provided in the calandria for proper location of tubes.
• Efficient steam distribution and adequate number of condensate and vent connections.
• Higher evaporation rates.
• Efficient internal / external centrifugal separator.

Product range: 900 m2 up to 7000 m2 heating surface area.

Configuration of evaporator station and bleeding scheme is selected to achieve steam consumption at 32% and lower.
