Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides detailed information about the JBT T.A.S.T.E. Evaporator, a specialized equipment used for processing heat-sensitive products like citrus juice concentrate and other clear fruit juices. It highlights the evaporator's design, functionality, and advantages.
Specifications and Manufacturing: The evaporator is constructed using 304 or 316 stainless steel, depending on product requirements. It is fully assembled and tested in a horizontal position at the factory and then installed vertically at the customer's site. The installation requires minimal time if foundations are pre-prepared.
Functionality: The T.A.S.T.E. Evaporator is designed for pasteurization and stabilization of juices, minimizing heat application time to preserve product quality. It can evaporate up to 3.3 kg of water per kg of steam in a 4-effect system and 5.7 kg in a 7-effect system, showcasing energy efficiency.
Advantages: Key benefits include high-quality output, low operating costs, mechanical reliability, small footprint, and automatic operation. It also offers optional essence recovery and quick cleaning systems.
Applications: The evaporator is versatile, suitable for citrus processors and can be adapted for tomato paste production with a Multi-Purpose T.A.S.T.E. Evaporator (MPTE) variant. It also supports apple juice processing with a special hot depectinization design.
Essence Recovery System: This optional feature allows recovery of essences like d-Limonene and other compounds from vapors, enhancing aroma concentration up to 150-fold.
Cleaning and Maintenance: The evaporator includes a Cleaning-In-Place (CIP) system for high sanitation, allowing cleaning in 30-45 minutes without altering normal operations.
Contact Information: The document provides contact details for JBT offices across North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, South America, and South Africa.
Additional Services: JBT offers PRoCARE® services for maintenance, aiming to prevent unexpected costs through expert maintenance packages.

For citrus juice concentrate and other clear fruit juices The JBT T.A.S.T.E. evaporator (Thermally Accelerated Short Time Evaporator) provides pasteurization and stabilization of juice during the pre-heating cycle and after the first evaporation stage. Juice is introduced as a turbulent fog in the tube nest.. As a fog, the juice reaches an acceleration speed of ~700 km per hour (435 mph) in the tubes. The JBT T.A.S.T.E. evaporator eliminates recycling of the juice during concentration, thereby minimizing the length of time at which heat is applied to the juice and resulting in better end-product...
