Used GEA Process Engineering 1-MVR-Mono Falling Film Evaporator.
Previously used to concentrate liquid for making sweetened whey for
casein production. The product is preheated in a plate heat exchanger
and in external straight-tubes preheater before the heat treatment and
concentrated from the inner surface of the tubes in the calandrias.
Part of the vapours are compressed by the vapour recompressor and used
as heating medium. The unused vapour is passed on to a condenser.
Product is transferred and finally discharged by means of specially
designed centrigual pumps. Pre-concentrate is finally cooled down for
truck transport purpose., Line is running with an input capacity of ±
15.000 kg of sweet whey per hour, dry matter / TS of 6% and input
temperature of 6°C and an output of 2.647 kg of concentrated sweet
whey per hour, dry matter / TS of 34% and output temperature of 4
°C., Note: the plant is designed for an outlet concentration that can
be tuned between 32% TS and 36% TS. Considering the crystallization of
the lactose at this temperature, the cooling temperature can be
adjusted according to practical experience., Technical data:, - Feed:
