ELETTRA is a newly developed evaporator, completely electrically powered and capable of processing any tomato juice up to a maximum concentration of 38 °Bx. ELETTRA can produce refined and rustic purée, preserving juice, pizza sauce, and double and triple hot and cold break tomato concentrate.
Thanks to its innovative design with pre-engineered modules, ELETTRA can integrate the following technologies into a single evaporation system:
• A variety of product circulation technologies, i.e. falling film, hybrid flow and forced circulation. •Various degrees of compression: single fan for low brix and double fan for high brix concentrations.
This design approach allows for high flexibility in configuring the most suitable solution for the customer's needs, depending on processing throughput and the type of finished product. ELETTRA is a highly efficient, totally mechanical system which greatly reduces power consumption and the cost of handling emissions. In addition, it integrates all stages of concentration into a single plant for a rapid return on investment.
Benefits
| Flexibility
ELETTRA offers unbeatable flexibility in terms of the type of product to be processed, performance and layout.
| Quality
ELETTRA preserves the quality of the product as steam temperature and residence time are reduced at all stages of concentration.
| Savings
Its design, featuring a completely mechanical, high efficiency feed, reduces energy consumption and the costs associated with emissions compliance.
| Compact design
ELETTRA processes the product with a single evaporation system, there is no need for a finisher evaporator. This translates into a highly compact solution, easier process management and a rapid return on investment.
| Modularity
The system’s design, based on pre-engineered modules, offers a fully customised solution with adequate delivery time and investment.
| Sustainability
Integrating ELETTRA and the METIS enzymatic deactivator - which reuses condensates and process vapours, reducing boiler steam consumption while generating cold water for use in other processes - into a production line can yield up to 80% energy savings, while reducing emissions by as much as 90%.
