Description

Used 1-pass MVR falling film vacuum evaporator. This EPCON evaporator was designed to concentrate whey products from 5% to an impressive 20% total solids in just one pass. This falling film evaporator plant operates seamlessly with a Mechanical Vapour Recompression (MVR) unit, which utilizes electricity to recompress evaporated water, transforming it into reusable steam. The water evaporation capacity ranges between 4,000 and 4,200 kg/hour, dependent on product parameters and boiling temperature. Equipped with 745 pipes measuring ?38 x 6 meters, in addition to the MVR characteristic and boiling temperature considerations, this EPCON evaporator boasts an impressive water evaporation capacity of approximately 4,200 kg/hour. For your convenience, the complete EPCON unit will be delivered with its original technical documentation. The installation footprint measures around 8 x 8 meters, standing at approximately 8 meters in height. This versatile EPCON evaporator has the potential for a redesign/rebuild into a 2-pass evaporator, amplifying water evaporation capacity by approximately 25%. Our expert evaporator designer is ready to provide tailored calculations and drawings to optimize this unit for your specific application. Materials in contact with product are made of acidproof stainless steel, AISI316.

Specifications

Used Equipment Facts About This Machine
Manufacturer Information:

Brand: EPCON

Type: 1-Pass MVR Falling Film Vacuum Evaporator

Construction Material: AISI 316 Acid-Proof Stainless Steel

Condition: Used

Documentation: Complete original technical documentation included

Description:
This Used EPCON 1-Pass Mechanical Vapour Recompression (MVR) Falling Film Vacuum Evaporator is designed for efficient and hygienic concentration of whey and similar liquid products, increasing solids from 5% to 20% in a single pass. Operating at an evaporation rate of 4,000–4,200 kg/hour, the system leverages MVR technology to recover and reuse energy by compressing evaporated water into reusable steam, offering significant energy savings and reduced operating costs.
Built from AISI 316 acid-resistant stainless steel, this unit features 745 pipes (Ø38 mm x 6 meters) and is fully compatible with demanding food, dairy, or biotech applications. Its compact design fits within an 8 x 8 meter footprint and stands at approximately 8 meters in height.
This evaporator is upgradeable to a 2-pass system, with engineering support available to increase water evaporation capacity by ~25%, offering even greater performance flexibility.
