Thermal Vacuum Evaporator-Crystallizer

The DESALT DRY series vacuum evaporator-crystallizer is designed to obtain solid or semi-solid concentrates, as well as to recover valuable raw materials, such as metals and salts. The equipment can be manufactured to operate using saturated steam or hot water to heat the product to be concentrated. The condensation of the generated vapour is carried out by supplying cooling water.

This evaporator can be manufactured with a screw conveyor inside the evaporation vessel to homogenize the product during the concentration phase, which facilitates the automatic discharge of the final product.

The operation of the equipment is semi-automatic or automatic (depending on the model) - 24 hours a day.
