Coconut Water Plate Evaporator
A plate evaporator is a highly efficient thermal processing unit that uses thin, corrugated stainless steel plates to transfer heat and remove water from liquid products. In coconut water processing, this type of evaporator is particularly suited due to its low residence time, compact footprint, and ability to operate under vacuum conditions at low temperatures.
Compared to tubular or falling film evaporators, plate evaporators are easier to clean, more energy-efficient, and better at handling low-viscosity liquids like coconut water. They are often integrated into hygienic, modular lines where space, heat sensitivity, and product quality are critical. EasyReal’s coconut water plate evaporator can be configured for single-effect, multi-effect, or hybrid setups, depending on your concentration and capacity needs.
Building a modern coconut water processing line requires more than just evaporation—it requires an integrated system that protects product quality at every step. EasyReal’s coconut water line can be customized from raw water extraction to final aseptic filling. The key modules typically include:
-
Pre-filtration and centrifuge for removing solids
-
Vacuum deaerator to eliminate oxygen and prevent browning
-
Plate evaporator to concentrate coconut water under gentle conditions
-
UHT sterilizer for microbiological safety
-
Aseptic filling machine for long shelf life
-
Optional: homogenizer, CIP cleaning system, nitrogen flushing
Thanks to the modular design, our plate evaporator integrates seamlessly into compact layouts, making it ideal for space-constrained tropical factories and co-packers. Whether you're producing for export markets or functional RTD beverages, EasyReal provides a complete, CE/FDA-compliant solution tailored to coconut water.
EasyReal’s plate evaporator is specially engineered to meet the challenges of coconut water concentration, combining hygienic design with energy efficiency and advanced control. Its standout features include:
-
Vacuum Low-Temperature Operation
Concentration occurs at temperatures below 60°C to protect delicate nutrients and preserve the original flavor. -
High Heat Transfer Efficiency
The corrugated plate structure ensures fast and uniform heat exchange, reducing energy consumption and processing time. -
Compact & Modular Design
Occupies less floor space than tubular or falling film systems, and can be flexibly integrated into existing or new production lines. -
Food-Grade Stainless Steel (SUS 316L)
All product-contact surfaces meet food safety standards and resist corrosion from natural acids in coconut water. -
Fully Automated PLC + HMI Control
Intelligent monitoring of feed rate, Brix, temperature, vacuum level, and CIP sequences for stable, unattended operation. -
Support for Multi-Effect Evaporation
Available in single-effect, double-effect, or multi-effect configurations for energy savings and scalability.
The concentrated coconut water produced by EasyReal’s plate evaporator is ideal for a wide range of beverage applications and export formats. Common end uses include:
-
Coconut water concentrate for reconstitution – mixed with water and sweeteners for bottled or canned drinks
-
Functional beverage bases – blended with fruit juice, collagen, or electrolytes for health-oriented products
-
Ingredient for powdered coconut drink mix – post-dried via spray or freeze drying
-
Raw material for coconut-based RTD beverages – including sports drinks, energy drinks, and wellness drinks
-
Bulk concentrate for export – packed in aseptic bags or drums for shipment to beverage manufacturers worldwide
Because of its high Brix, long shelf life, and microbiological stability, concentrated coconut water serves as a cost-effective and logistically efficient format for global distribution. It is especially popular among co-packers, wellness brands, and private label producers in Europe, the U.S., and Southeast Asia.
