Vacuum apparatus (evaporator), capacity 1,100 l - PAHs 16

Vacuum apparatus (evaporator), capacity 1,100 l - PAHs 16

The vacuum unit WWA 16 with a capacity of 1,100 liters is an industrial device intended for the production of jams, marmalades and concentrated fruit mousses from fresh, frozen fruits or pulp. Thanks to operation under vacuum conditions, the thickening process is faster, while the natural taste, aroma and color of the product are preserved.

Elements in contact with the product are made of acid-resistant steel, while the external steam jacket is made of boiler steel, insulated and covered with KO sheet. The legs of the device are made of carbon steel, which ensures stability and durability of the structure.

• Control of temperature and pressure for a stable production process

• Faster cooking time thanks to steam removal

• Easy operation and maintenance

• High water evaporation capacity – up to 280 dm³/h

• Universal application in the food industry

Application

• thickening of jams, fruit mousses and marmalades

• production of fruit products from fresh, frozen fruits and pulp

• evaporation of water under vacuum conditions at low temperature

• food industry and fruit and vegetable processing

• ensuring high quality, color and aroma of the final product

Thanks to steam removal under vacuum conditions, the cooking time is shortened and the risk of product burning is minimized.
