REDA – Low temperature evaporator
The REDA low temperature evaporator concentrates liquid products under vacuum at +18…24 °C. Pure distilled water or alcohol evaporates from the product, while the organoleptic properties and the balance of dissolved substances are preserved.
Steiner Ukraine is the REDA distributor in Ukraine. The common principles of REDA equipment, including UHT configurations and separator design, are described on the page REDA.
How does the low temperature evaporator work?
Evaporation takes place in a single effect under vacuum. The system automatically controls and regulates the product temperature.
The product is concentrated to 60–67 °Brix. The unit operates automatically around the clock, 7 days a week.

What does the low temperature evaporator concentrate?
Fruit juices and must, nectars, herbal distillates, honey, beer, wine, spirits, milk and by-products, seaweed and plant extracts, yeasts and ferments.
Why is an evaporator better than membranes for whey?
- Less strict pre-treatment.
- Higher concentration at lower system and energy costs.
- No periodic membrane replacement.
- Simpler and cheaper CIP cleaning.
- Lower investment in installation and auxiliary systems.
Whey fractionation into salts, lactose and proteins is performed by combining nanofiltration and ultrafiltration. More details on the page of the whey processing line.
How does the low temperature evaporator concentrate juices?
Low concentration temperature, low heating water temperature and short residence time do not damage the product. The juice retains its freshness and taste.
If the juice is free of particles and fibres, no pre-treatment is needed. For products with peel, seeds or fibres, a steel mesh filter at the inlet is sufficient.
