Evaporation and Distillation Systems
Evaporators
Evaporation is used to separate a liquid from a solid, reduce product volume, remove water prior to drying and to improve product storage life.
Common applications include: milk, juice, purees, meat and vegetable broths, coffee extract, sugar, corn syrup, and de-alcoholized beer.
APV evaporators from SPX are available in the following designs:
- Rising/falling film
- Falling film
- Forced circulation
You can count on our evaporators for:
- Energy savings – designs reuse heat captured from boiling process
- Gentle product handling – vacuum evaporation lowers boiling temperatures
- Flexibility – vary design/capacity by changing plate arrangements
- Expandability – by adding plates or additional effects
- Space savings – low headroom requirement
- Low installation cost – no special foundation needed
- Process assurance – rental units available for trials
Distillation
Distillation is typically used to separate two or more liquid components when one component is more volatile than the other.
Common applications include: separation of water and alcohol, essence recovery from fruits, aroma recovery from coffee, and solvent recovery from extracts and flavors.
Rely on our distillation systems for:
- Gentle product handling – vacuum distillation protects heat sensitive products
- Easy installation – modular design available
- Energy savings – many options for heat recovery
- Process assurance – lab distillation testing available
