Small-scale falling film evaporator
Optimize your production efficiency and achieve precise concentration levels in liquid and slurry processing with a compact, preassembled evaporator designed for rapid installation and diverse applications.
Concentrates and Separates Proteins and Liquids
The CompaCon® Evaporators from GEA offer a versatile solution for precise evaporation and concentration processes in diverse industries such as food, pharmaceuticals, and waste-water treatment. Featuring skid-mounted designs, these evaporators use advanced Falling Film and Forced Circulation technologies to efficiently handle proteins, high-solid sludges, and various chemical solutions. Their compact, preassembled nature allows for quick installation, typically within two days. The CompaCon® FF Series is designed for applications demanding gentle, efficient moisture removal, capable of boosting powder production. The FC Series excels in processing highly viscous and solid-laden liquids, ensuring precise concentration through automated logic control. With processing capacities ranging from 20 to 3000 liters per hour and options for thermal or electrical heating, these evaporators promise reduced energy consumption and a lower environmental impact. Engineered for easy transport and integration, they incorporate standardized GEA Codex HMI for seamless connectivity with other systems, while supporting compliance with industry standards. Adjustable design parameters and available testing at GEA’s R&D center ensure tailored performance to meet specific operational requirements.
