Sweetener production
Alfa Laval supplies a wide range of components and systems for sweetener production that helps sweetener companies around the world raise product quality and boost plant profitability.
Evaporation
Alfa Laval AlfaVap evaporators are the standard choice for many sweetener producers. The compactness of these evaporation systems makes them ideal for easy integration into existing processing facilities.
AlfaVap units are ideal for concentrating a wide range of different sweeteners, including:
- Glucose
- Dextrose
- High fructose syrup, fructose
- High maltose
- Maltodextrine
- Sorbitol, maltitol
- Corn steep liquor
Using less steam
AlfaVap evaporators provide significantly higher thermal efficiency than traditional evaporators, thus reducing both steam consumption and operating costs.
Low evaporation temperatures and short liquid hold-up time make AlfaVap the preferred evaporator for heat-sensitive sweeteners such as high-fructose syrup.
Heating and cooling
Alfa Laval has led the way in developing and fine-tuning efficient heat transfer solutions. We are therefore able to provide a wide range of gasketed and welded plate heat exchangers with high thermal efficiency, compact design, high uptime and low maintenance costs.
You can easily expand the capacity of Alfa Laval gasketed heat exchangers by simply adding more plates at a later stage.
