The Anhydro® Tubular TVR Evaporator provides gentle, cost-effective evaporation for low-viscosity liquids in dairy, food, and industrial processing. It’s falling film design with thermal vapor recompression (TVR) and a multi-effect setup maximizes energy efficiency while protecting product quality.
The system is ideal for heat-sensitive ingredients enabling consistent concentration, reduced steam use, and precise temperature control—all in a hygienic, CIP-compatible design.
In evaporation, steam costs can be a major operating expense and maintaining product integrity adds even more complexity. The Anhydro Tubular TVR Evaporator helps solve these challenges by combining proven thermal vapor recompression technology with a flexible, multi-effect configuration.
Today’s processors face challenges such as:
- Reducing live steam consumption to cut energy costs
- Handling temperature-sensitive products without compromising quality
- Meeting hygiene standards while maintaining uptime
- Scaling or retrofitting lines without overhauling plant layouts
The Anhydro TVR Evaporator meets these needs with:
- Multi-effect operation that recycles energy by using vapor from one effect to heat the next
- A steam jet compressor (thermo-compressor) that recompresses vapor from one effect and reuses it in the first effect
- Falling film design for minimal thermal exposure and short residence times
- Integrated vapor recovery to support preheating and reduce thermal load
- Hygienic, stainless steel construction that supports CIP and minimizes downtime
- Modular, compact layout for seamless integration or upgrades
- Static liquid distribution system for uniform tube wetting and optimal heat transfer
- Advanced automation for process control, diagnostics, and compliance tracking
