Triple-effect concentrators by forced circulation
TFM forced circulation concentrators in triple thermal effect for fruit pulp
TFM evaporators are ideal for the concentration of juices and pulps of tropical and temperate climate fruits. With them, it is possible to achieve a high degree of concentration, even with high pulp content, without harming the organoleptic characteristics of the fruit.
Concentrators in triple thermal effect of concurrent flow have a perfect balance between the delicate treatment of the product with low evaporation temperatures and reduced energy expenditure.
TFM concentrators have dual tubular heat exchanger at each stage of evaporation, being one ascending and the other one descending, and are fully automated ensuring the highest safety in the process, and can be provided with aroma recovery as an optional.
In addition to the aroma recuperation system, it can be provided as an optional the supervisory system 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.
