EVAPORATION TECHNOLOGY
The next big thing on small-scale production. Skid mounted Falling Film and Forced Circulation Evaporators.
The GEA CompaCon® Evaporators are highly adaptable and compact evaporators; easy to transport, assemble, install and operate.
They use the reliable Falling Film (FF) and Forced Circulation (FC) evaporation technologies on the most diverse applications, from food production to chemical and waste-water treatment. The GEA CompaCon® FC Series is the option to go with when working with highly viscous liquids.
Both series present the benefits of a standardized system while portraying maximum flexibility, offering fast commissioning, guaranteeing a lower time-investment in engineering and delivery.
Boosting your CompaCon® and complement your process by adding modules.
With a range of 50-3000 l/h, the CompaCon® FF Series is a Falling Film evaporator suitable for food production as well as chemical and waste-water treatment applications.
On its XS size, the CompaCon® FF Series can act as a pre-concentrator for a GEA Mobile Minor® spray dryer, boosting the powder production up to five times and giving the powder a finish closer to that of an industrial plant.
This Series has two power options depending on the evaporator's size:
Smaller sizes are powered with thermal energy by means of a Thermal Vapor Recompressor (TVR) whereas the larger sizes are powered with a Mechanical Vapor Recompressor (MVR), the latest steam-free development of small-scale MVRs and driven solely on electrical energy, guaranteeing a reduced CO2 footprint and cooling water demand.

With a range of 50-1500 l/h, the CompaCon® FC Series is a Forced Circulation Evaporator apt for food production as well as chemical and waste-water treatment applications. Best suited for working with highly viscous liquids and insoluble containing products.
The special logic-control of the CompaCon® FC series, guarantees the plant to run on the desired concentration. Only compliant end-product will be discharged. Any deviation from the ideal concentration will stop the discharge until the desired concentration is reached again. The discharge will be continuous for big discharge rates and intermittent for small ones
The CompaCon® FC Series comes in one piece, already fully mechanically and electrically assembled, ready for the utilities to be plugged in. The unit, fully checked and pre-commissioned with water, can be shipped in one sea freight container.
Available on sizes S and M, it can be powered with thermal energy by means of a Thermal Vapor Recompressor (TVR).
