OVERVIEW


Apollo can concentrate 150 to 180 t/h of infeed product (from 4.5 to 12° brix), respectively extracting up to 60 to 80 t/h of evaporated water.

The product obtained may be used as it is, or further concentrated until obtaining the residue desired, by means of traditional multi-effect forced circulation plants. Thanks to minimum residence time (a few minutes) as well as the reduced difference in temperature between the condensed vapor on the exchanger’s shell and the product inside the tubes (4-6°C), there is no product thermal damaging. The quality of the output concentrate mainly in terms of color and taste is higher than the same products obtained with other concentration technologies.

Due to its particular characteristics, the Apollo evaporator represents the most innovative technology suited to a first-rate concentration process with high energy recovery of heat-sensitive products.
Apollo is also capable of concentrating up to 60 tons of milk per hour of infeed product from 6% to 50%, with evaporated water extraction ranging from 12 t/h to 50 t/h. The product obtained can be used as such in the form of a concentrated liquid, or it can be transformed into a solid powder with the application of another technology.
