Used BRODR. HETLAND HIFS 6 Pilot Falling Film Vacuum Evaporator – 316L Stainless Steel Protein Processing System

Manufacturer: BRODR. HETLAND A/S
Model: HIFS 6
Type: 1-Effect Falling Film Vacuum Evaporator
Condition: Used
Serial Number: 8401-B4

Description
Used BRODR. HETLAND HIFS 6 Pilot Falling Film Vacuum Evaporator, designed for efficient concentration of liquids under vacuum conditions, particularly suited for heat-sensitive products such as proteins and food ingredients.
Constructed from 316L stainless steel, this system offers excellent corrosion resistance and hygienic processing standards. With a 6 m² (64.58 sq ft) heating surface, the unit is capable of evaporating approximately 100 kg/hr (220 lbs/hr) of water, concentrating product streams up to 35% dry solids (DS).
The evaporator features a falling film design, ensuring short residence times and minimal thermal degradation. Complete with piping, pumps, sensors, and supporting infrastructure, this pilot unit is ideal for R&D, pilot plant trials, and small-scale production.
Previously used in a protein application, this system is well suited for food, biotech, and specialty chemical industries.
Freight specialists are available to assist with customs documentation, ensuring smooth global delivery.
