ViscoVap

Concentrate highly viscous, heat-sensitive liquids with ease using the Alfa Laval ViscoVap forced circulation evaporator. It handles fibre- and particle-rich fluids under vacuum conditions, delivering high thermal efficiency, minimal fouling and reduced cleaning frequency. Compact and tubular, ViscoVap performs reliably in demanding food and wastewater applications – saving energy, boosting uptime, and protecting product quality.

Viscovap tubular evaporator

Maximize quality and yield of high-viscosity, heat-sensitive products with low-temperature, high-efficiency evaporation

  • Protect product quality when processing highly viscous, heat-sensitive liquids
  • Minimize fouling risks with highly turbulent flow and self-cleaning effect
  • Maximize uptime with a robust, reliable, and low-maintenance design
  • Adapt easily to changing processing needs with a modular system that handles multiple products
  • Achieve high yields with long, uninterrupted runtimes – perfect for processing fresh produce during harvest season

Enhance product quality and process reliability with the Alfa Laval ViscoVap forced circulation evaporator. It efficiently handles highly viscous, heat-sensitive or shear-thinning fluids containing fibres and particles.

Unlike traditional systems, this advanced tubular evaporator maintains high product flow across smooth heating surfaces, minimizing fouling while maximizing uptime. It is also well-suited for final effluent concentration or effluent polishing, helping you achieve higher yield from every batch. 

After finalizing on our requirement for the new bio-methanated spent wash evaporator plant, we discussed our vision of achieving zero liquid discharge with Alfa Laval experts. Alfa Laval came up with the innovative feed degasification and condensate stripping systems.  – Mr. H.K.Yadava, General Manager – Distillery, Harinagar Sugar Mills, Bihar, India (Zero liquid discharge from distillery wastewater) 
The system has been up and running now for almost five years, and our early worries about cleaning frequency have proven groundless. In addition to reliability, savings due to less frequent cleaning is a major advantage. – Mr. Sanjay Chopra, Vice President, Jagatjit Industries Ltd.
