High‑capacity continuous evaporation with maximum energy efficiency and minimal thermal impact on heat‑sensitive products The Falling Film Evaporator is a shell‑and‑tube evaporation system engineered for the gentle, continuous concentration of whey, milk, and other heat‑sensitive dairy products. Its vertical falling‑film configuration ensures uniform liquid distribution across the internal tube surfaces, achieving high heat‑transfer coefficients while maintaining a low fouling tendency. The formation of a thin product film and the resulting very short residence time protect the organoleptic and functional properties of whey, preserving flavor, color, and nutritional value throughout the concentration process. The system is available with Thermal Vapor Recompression (TVR) or Mechanical Vapor Recompression (MVR), significantly reducing live steam consumption and overall energy demand. These options enable efficient integration into modern whey‑processing lines, including membrane concentration and drying systems. By combining minimal residence time, homogeneous flow distribution, and advanced vapor recompression, the Falling Film Evaporator delivers high evaporation capacity, superior product quality, and reduced operating costs, making it the preferred solution for whey concentration in high‑performance dairy plants.
