FALLING FILM EVAPORATOR

About FALLING FILM EVAPORATOR

Falling Film Evaporator

Highly effective for concentrating heat-sensitive solutions with very short product contact times usually a few seconds per pass and minimal temperature difference between heating medium and boiling liquid.

A Falling Film Evaporator is a highly effective industrial device for concentrating solutions, especially those containing heat-sensitive components. It operates on the principle of a thin film of liquid falling under gravity that is partially vaporized by the heat source. Product contact time is very short usually a few seconds per pass and the system functions with very small temperature differences between the heating media and the boiling liquid. These qualities make it the most widely used evaporator type for heat-sensitive applications. Semco plants are also capable of drying whole egg, egg yolk, and egg white (albumen) using integrated spray drying
