Mechanical vapor recompression evaporator for pre-concentration in food industry
Achieve efficient energy use by utilizing mechanical vapor recompression to recycle heat during evaporation, ideal for maximizing concentration levels in continuous liquid processing.

The Anhydro MVR Evaporator System is a highly efficient solution designed for a variety of industries including food, dairy, beverages, and chemical processing. Utilizing Mechanical Vapor Recompression, it recompresses vapor to heat the first stage of evaporation, optimizing energy use by recycling thermal energy. This tubular evaporator model ensures continuous operation in both recompression and separation processes, making it essential for the production of high-quality end-products like evaporated milk, fruit juice concentrates, and essential oils. The system features high-pressure capabilities and serves as a reliable pre-concentrator in production lines. Engineered for integration into existing production frameworks, it offers PLC-controlled automation and remote monitoring, ensuring seamless operation and efficiency. The system’s construction in high-grade materials ensures corrosion resistance and durability, compliant with industrial standards. For maintenance and cleaning, it includes options for Clean-in-Place (CIP), reducing downtime and maintaining hygiene. Customization options and robust engineering support further enhance its fit into specialized processing environments.
