Triple effect evaporators for juice and crushed tomato
Triple effect concentrators for juice and crushed tomato
TFM evaporators are ideal for concentration of juices and crushed tomatoes, which are treated thermally with the UHV. With them, it is possible to achieve high degree of concentration and consistency, with no prejudice for the organoleptic characteristics of the tomato.
Concentrators with triple thermal effects of concurrent flow have a perfect balance between the gentle treatment of the product with low temperatures of evaporation and the reduction of energy wasted.
TFM Concentrators have dual heat exchangers on each stage of the evaporation, one ascending and another one descending, getting a bigger surface for the thermal exchange with a smaller capacity of pumping. The biggest surface of thermal exchange allows a lower temperature of the steam heating on the first stage related to the traditional concentrators improving the quality of the final product regarding to its color and scent.
The high speed of the product in the exchanger pipes of the three stages avoids incrustations even with high consistency products.
The operation of the hub is fully automatic, and in the various stages, the input of juice is controlled by electronic level regulators and the extraction of the concentrate by electronic refractometer that regulates the desirable brix.
As an option, it can be provided with the supervisory systems for controlling and supervision of the operations through a remote terminal. It is possible to integrate the cooling system - Flash Cooler with the evaporators dedicated to the concentration of refined tomato juice.

Apis Flora - Concentrated Propolis Line
In 2019, we completed the delivery of a concentrated propolis production line through alcoholic extraction and subsequent vacuum evaporation. The process involves the propolis, initially in the form of wax from the apiary, being added to grain alcohol within a process tank specifically designed for this purpose. In the mixing tank, the product is kept constantly stirred, undergoing successive heating and cooling operations over many hours. After this period, the propolis will be diluted. The settled sediment is discarded, and the product is sent to the concentrator for alcohol evaporation and propolis concentration. The concentration pot facilitates vacuum evaporation, and the evaporated alcohol is recovered in an indirect condenser and sent back to the alcohol accumulation tank. The final product is pure and concentrated propolis. All equipment was constructed following safety standards for explosive atmospheres and ATEX certification. Currently, the line is in perfect operation, adding value to our customer.
