Evaporator system for fruit and vegetables having a low power consumption and a very low heat damage

摘要

The invention finds application in the field of evaporator systems for food products, particularly fruit and vegetables, and relates to a multiple-effect evaporator system (E) comprising a combination of a T.A.S.T.E. (Thermally Accelerated Short Time Evaporator) unit having one or more effects and stages (T1, T2,... T(n-m)) and a Forced Circulation finishing unit having one or more effects and stages (FC1, FC2, ..., FCm).;A pump TP(n-m) draws the product that is being concentrated from the last effect of the T.A.S.T.E. unit, and transfers it to the inlet of the Forced Circulation unit, where it is further concentrated to the desired degree.;Then, an extraction pump (PE) extracts the product from the Forced Circulation finishing unit (FC).
