About Open Pan Evaporator
Open Pan Evaporator :
These measures the rate of evaporation of water into the atmosphere, sometimes called an atmometer. Evaporation rates are so sensitive to the water supply, and the nature of the evaporating surface, data collected by Evaporimeter often do not reflect true evaporation processes. Hence, evaporimeter have limited use. Flexible Heating & High PrecisionChoose between direct steam or electric heating based on your facilitys power source. The Open Pan Evaporator guarantees precise temperature management up to 100C, maintaining accuracy within 2C. This reliability is crucial for sensitive processes in pharmaceuticals, dairy, and chemical manufacturing.
Durable and Hygienic ConstructionFabricated from corrosion-resistant SS304/SS316 stainless steel with a 3mm thick mirror-polished body, the unit meets GMP standards for hygiene and durability. Its easy-to-clean surfaces minimize residue buildup, making it suitable for industries with stringent sanitary requirements.
Low Maintenance & Safe OperationThe design emphasizes low maintenance, saving time and operational costs. The over-temperature protection system adds a layer of safety, intervention is minimal, and the manual outlet valve ensures simple, controlled discharge of processed materials. Floor-mounted installation offers stability and ease of access.
FAQs of Open Pan Evaporator:
Q: How does the Open Pan Evaporator function in industrial evaporation processes?
A: The Open Pan Evaporator facilitates the concentration of solutions by heating the liquid until evaporation occurs. The system uses either direct steam or electric heating to attain temperatures of up to 100C at atmospheric pressure, effectively removing water or solvents from mixtures. Its mirror-polished stainless steel pan ensures efficient heat transfer and easy product release.
Q: What industries commonly use this evaporator and for what applications?
A: This evaporator is primarily used in food processing, dairy, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries to concentrate liquids, prepare syrups, or dry sensitive compounds. Its GMP-compliant design suits processes requiring strict hygienic control and consistent product quality.
Q: When should direct steam versus electric heating be selected?
A: Direct steam heating is ideal when steam is readily available on site, offering rapid heat transfer. Electric heating is appropriate when electrical power is convenient or when precise, steady temperature control is crucial. Both options deliver comparable energy efficiency and performance.
Q: Where is the Open Pan Evaporator installed, and what are its space requirements?
A: The unit is floor-mounted for stability and safety, measuring 1800 x 900 x 1200 mm (L*W*H). Its design allows straightforward integration into industrial processing zones with moderate floor space.
Q: What is the maintenance process for this evaporator, and how often is it required?
A: Maintenance is minimal due to the corrosion-resistant, mirror-polished finish and sturdy construction. Regular inspection of the manual outlet valve, heater, and over-temperature protection assures smooth operation. Cleaning is simple, making it suitable for frequent product changeovers.
Q: How does the over-temperature protection feature enhance operational safety?
A: Over-temperature protection continuously monitors the systems temperature, automatically shutting down the heating element if preset thresholds are exceeded. This prevents overheating, safeguarding both operators and processed materials.
Q: What benefits does this model offer in terms of efficiency and accuracy?
A: With a capacity of up to 300 liters per hour, energy usage of 8-10 kW/hr (electric), and a temperature accuracy of 2C, the OPE300 delivers dependable, efficient evaporation with consistent product quality. Its semi-automatic controls and clear measurement range support accurate, repeatable processing.
