Selecting the Right Dairy Evaporator

If you are in the market for a dairy evaporator, start by answering the following questions:

  1. What and how much will you be feeding into the evaporator (type of milk or other dairy product, volume over time)?
  2. What is your desired evaporation outcome (condensed milk, feed for a dryer to produce milk protein concentrates or other powder product)?
  3. How much space do you have to accommodate the equipment?
  4. What type of power source(s) do you have available?
  5. Are you able to reuse the clean water condensate from the evaporation process in your facility?
  6. What is your budget?

With the answers to these questions in hand, Caloris can help narrow down what type of dairy evaporator will work best for your situation.
