High‑concentration evaporation in a compact footprint, eliminating height constraints and reducing civil works by up to 70% compared to tubular systems The Alfa Vap Evaporator is a plate‑type evaporation system specifically designed for the efficient concentration of high‑viscosity products and fluids with fouling tendencies, such as whey, dairy concentrates, and food ingredients. Its modular plate configuration delivers exceptionally high heat‑transfer coefficients, enabling higher concentration levels with significantly lower steam consumption than conventional tubular evaporators. Capacity can be increased by simply adding plates, allowing scalable expansion while minimizing initial capital investment. The compact plate design eliminates the height limitations inherent to vertical tubular evaporators, enabling installation in existing facilities with restricted headroom. This results in substantial reductions in structural steel requirements, building height, and overall civil construction costs. By combining high thermal efficiency, modular scalability, and a reduced footprint, the Alfa Vap Evaporator provides a cost‑effective and flexible solution for whey and dairy concentration, maximizing performance while minimizing space and energy consumption.
