Evaporator
Refractance Window® Technology
Our patented technology utilizes water as the heat transfer medium to transmit energy at the speed of light in order to dry a wide variety of products. Even delicate materials ranging from bio-active lactobacillus to scrambled egg mix to nutraceuticals, for example, dry efficiently and with superior outcomes.
How It
Works
A slurry of
liquid product is evenly applied to the top surface of a continuous
sheet of transparent plastic. This impervious conveyor belt floats
on a surface of hot water (210° F / 99° C or less).
Our proprietary process allows infrared energy
(inherent in the circulating water beneath the belt) to pass at the
speed of light directly into the liquid slurry. The "window"
allowing the rapid transfer of infrared energy closes as the product
loses moisture. Heat is also conducted through the belt, which aids to
evaporate moisture in the product, especially when the product is nearly
dry. Infrared energy and conducted heat permit rapid drying at
atmospheric pressure rather than under a vacuum.
This rapid, yet gentle process provides superior
retention of a product's beneficial properties, including its nutrition,
flavor, color and aroma.
