Single-Effect External Circulation Vacuum Concentrator – Advanced Industrial Concentration Technology

 

The single-effect external circulation vacuum concentrator is a high-performance processing unit designed for efficient concentration of liquid materials in the pharmaceutical, food, beverage, and chemical industries. Using an advanced external circulation heating and evaporating system, it offers rapid heat transfer, high evaporation efficiency, and precise temperature control—making it ideal for heat-sensitive materials that require gentle processing.


High-Efficiency Operation

 

As a specialized vacuum concentrator, this equipment works under reduced pressure, significantly lowering the boiling point of liquids. This allows concentration at lower temperatures, preserving the flavor, aroma, color, and nutritional properties of the product. The external circulation design ensures uniform heating, prevents material scaling or scorching, and maintains consistent product quality from batch to batch.


Premium Manufacturing from China Auxiliary Equipment Leaders

 

Built by experienced manufacturers of China auxiliary equipment, the concentrator is made from high-grade SUS304 or SUS316L stainless steel, ensuring corrosion resistance, durability, and compliance with GMP and food hygiene standards. Its compact footprint allows for easy installation in both new and existing production facilities, while its user-friendly design simplifies operation, cleaning, and maintenance.


Key Features of the Single-Effect External Circulation Vacuum Concentrator

 

•  Rapid Processing: High evaporation rate reduces production cycles.

•  Energy Efficiency: Lower steam consumption saves operational costs.

•  Quality Preservation: Low-temperature concentration protects sensitive materials.

•  Hygienic Design: CIP cleaning system ensures compliance with food and pharmaceutical standards.

•  Operator-Friendly: Clear controls and monitoring systems for ease of use.


Versatile Applications

 

The single-effect external circulation vacuum concentrator is widely used for:

•  Concentrating herbal extracts in pharmaceutical production.

•  Thickening fruit juices, dairy products, syrups, and liquid condiments in food processing.

•  Removing excess water from chemical, fermentation, and bioengineering solutions.


Equipment Features

 

1. Alcohol Recovery: High recovery capacity, utilizing a vacuum concentration process. Compared to older, similar equipment, this equipment increases productivity by 5-10 times and reduces energy consumption by 30%, offering low investment and high recovery rates.

2. Liquid Concentration: This equipment combines externally heated natural circulation with vacuum evaporation, resulting in rapid evaporation and a concentration density of up to 1.3. Liquids are concentrated in a completely sealed, foam-free environment. The concentrated liquid produced by this equipment is pollution-free, has a strong medicinal flavor, and is easy to clean (accessible by opening the upper and lower covers of the heater). This equipment is simple to operate and occupies a small footprint. The heater and evaporator utilize a stainless steel insulation structure, while the moisture-retaining layer is constructed from stainless steel sheet metal with a mirror or matte finish.


Why Choose This Vacuum Concentrator

 

Integrating this vacuum concentrator into your production line offers higher efficiency, lower energy costs, and superior product consistency. Its combination of rapid heat exchange, gentle concentration, and robust build quality makes it an essential part of modern China auxiliary equipment solutions for manufacturers seeking reliable, long-lasting, and high-quality concentration systems.
