The medium to be thickened is concentrated along the plate-type heating elements (lamellas), which are arranged as a bundle in the evaporator. The more volatile component is evaporated and removed from the apparatus. Optimized distribution systems are used to ensure the best possible distribution of the medium on the heating bundle and thus a high evaporation rate.
