Plate evaporator is a kind of equipment that uses high-efficiency heat exchange plates to evaporate and concentrate the medium continuously. Compared with traditional shell and tube evaporator, it has significant advantages such as compact structure, energy saving and high efficiency, small footprint and convenient maintenance. Plate evaporator adopts compact structure and high-efficiency heat exchange plates, which is suitable for low-temperature concentration of heat-sensitive juices (such as orange juice, apple juice, pineapple juice, grape juice, etc.) to avoid loss of flavor and nutrients.
