Double-effect evaporators by forced circulation
TFM forced circulation concentrators in double thermal effect for fruit pulp
The TFM evaporators by forced circulation are ideal for the concentration of juices from tropical and temperate climate fruit. With them, it is possible to reach high grade of concentration even with high pulp content with no prejudice for the organoleptic characteristics of the fruit.
The thermal double-effect concentrators have a perfect balance between delicate treatment of the product in low temperatures and reduced energy waste.
TFM’s concentrators have two bundles of tubes in each stage of evaporation: one ascending and one descending. The concentrators are completely automated, in order to guarantee the highest safety in the process and can be provided with Aroma Recovery System (as an optional).
In addition to the aroma recovery, as an option, a supervisory system can be provided to control and supervise the operations through a remote terminal and the cooling system "Flash Cooler".

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.
