Few food processing systems can match evaporators in sheer size and complexity. The top priority now is simplifying the technology and reducing operating costs.
While many industries use evaporators, none require the sanitary design, non-abusive handling and energy efficiency that food processors must realize to remain competitive in a low-margin business. An unplanned shutdown can leave a facility with vast amounts of unprocessed materials and nowhere to put them. Fortunately, the peripherals that keep evaporators calibrated have advanced significantly over the years, and more are coming.
