Falling Film Evaporators

Falling film evaporators - tube cleaning

Falling film evaporator tubes can become heavily contaminated after a period of time and production. Often, products such as milk pass through the tubes and can build up layer by layer into a very strong substance that is almost impossible to remove. A correct, preventive cleaning of the tubes is therefore very important. If not cleaned correctly, tubes can also become completely blocked. Goodway equipment is suitable for this as well. By using heavy-duty cleaning tools, it is possible to remove this contamination.

Goodway Equipment/Solution

Goodway Benelux supplies a 3-part cleaning solution, which consists of:

1. Tube cleaning system
2. Flexible shafts (dry and wet)
3. Heavy-duty cleaning tools and brushes

The tube cleaning system (AWT-100X) is Goodway's most powerful system. The variable speed of 500-3000 RPM makes it possible to generate sufficient speed and torque. The machine powers a flexible shaft, this can be either dry or with a water flush. The shaft then rotates the cleaning tool or brush. For blocked tubes, first a heavy-duty cleaning tool will be used to open the tubes. Then the NAB brushes will be used as a finishing touch for the tubes, removing any left ofter deposits on the tube walls.
