Caloris Custom Evaporators for Whey Processing

Caloris custom evaporators for whey processing can achieve the desired water evaporation and concentration of your whey and whey permeate utilizing the high overall energy efficiency of Mechanical Vapor Recompression (MVR) technology in a highly compact system size.

MVR technology, used extensively for commercial evaporators worldwide, utilizes electrical power to generate heating vapors for driving the evaporation process. Water vapor evaporated from the product inside the evaporator is compressed by a turbofan driven by an electric motor, increasing the temperature of the vapors and generating the heating vapors to promote further evaporation.

Many of our compact evaporator systems are fabricated and delivered as one primary component, ready to be set by crane lift and anchored to your prepared foundation upon delivery. Minimal use of external process lines to interconnect system pumps and external heat exchangers to the main evaporator assembly minimizes both time and costs to achieve a complete system installation at the operating site.

Enhanced Production for Whole Sweet Whey

Producing free-flowing non-hygroscopic whey powder, from sweet whey from cheese production, involves may complexities. Understanding the type of cheese from which the whey was produced is important in deciding the spray dryer operating parameters. Handling, storage and understanding the upstream processing of the liquid whey is vital making a high quality powder from the dryer.

Whether for new applications or to improve, enhance or increase your current installation or process, the Caloris team of spray drying process engineers is ready to help you solve your existing operational challenges or to take you to the next level in your production. In addition to our experience delivering custom dryers for whole sweet whey, we also deliver specialized spray dryers for whey protein concentrate and whey permeate

We’re ready to specify, engineer, design, fabricate, install and commission your complete new whey spray dryer. Contact us today to learn more about Caloris whey processing.
