Alfa Laval AlfaVap Evaporators

Rising-Film Plate Evaporators for High Viscosity and Concentrated Media

AlfaVap evaporators have compact designs and higher thermal efficiency ratings compared to equivalent shell-and-tube evaporators; this provides further savings when costly metal materials are required, and allows for more optimal use of floor space. The units can operate with a temperature differential as low as 2.5°C, creating further savings on costs associated with steam utilities.

AlfaVap units are ideal for use in sugar refinery applications, as thermosiphon reboilers, and in bioethanol, sweetener and caustic evaporation systems.

Each unit is able to be customized during its lifespan by adding or removing plates to existing frames; this allows for the adjustment of evaporation capacity without purchasing a brand-new unit.

AlfaVap units feature pressure plate rollers and a 5-point alignment system with reinforced hangers for quick opening and closing of the exchanger without heavy tools, all while minimizing damage to the unit. They can be inspected and cleaned easily by removing bolts and rolling back the pressure plate.

AlfaVap evaporators can be cleaned mechanically or by using CIP (Cleaning-in-Place), and are available with clip-on-gaskets. Low-hold up volumes allow for efficient cleaning with a low volume of cleaning agents.
