GIG Karasek GmbH products

Solutions for solidsloaded streams up to free-flowing products. The thin film dryer is a special type of thin film evaporator. There are two types of thin film dryers, the vertical and the horizontal dryer. If these systems reach their limits when it comes to heat-sensitive products, the successful thin-film evaporator principle ensures gentle processes. Based on their wealth of experience and knowledge from separation technology, our experts realize high-performance vertical and horizontal thin-film dryers, which convince both economically and process technically. For individual results, tailored and not available on the market, our technical center provides the ideal R & D environment to cover in-depth tests etc.

The thermal vapor recompression (TVR) builds on the same principle as the mechanical alternative, but uses only a portion of the resulting vapor for heating the system. The compression of the steam for heat recovery takes place in a steam jet pump. This is usually designed for a specific operating point and works on the jet pump principle. A certain amount of steam, the so-called motive steam, is required for the operation of a thermal vapor compressor. The resulting energy savings correspond in many cases in about an additional evaporator stage.
