Hybrid evaporator for highly viscous tomato concentrate
Achieve superior concentration and energy efficiency with a versatile evaporator designed for high-viscosity materials, providing optimal recirculation and separation to enhance product quality and reduce thermal damage in your processing line.
The JBT Hybrid Evaporator from JBT FoodTech merges the strengths of Forced Circulation Evaporators with the T.A.S.T.E. system for efficient liquid and slurry concentration. By leveraging upward forced flow recirculation in vertical tube-in-shell heaters, it ensures optimal processing of diverse products like coffee concentrates, nut oils, and tomato paste. Designed for continuous operation, it significantly reduces energy consumption and minimizes thermal damage to maintain the highest quality output. The system features special inducers for high efficiency at low NPSH, preventing cavitation. Capable of handling a range of liquid and slurry types common in the food and beverage industry, it integrates seamlessly into production lines with automated controls and reduced maintenance requirements. Custom configurations are available to meet specific processing needs.
