Abrégé

Elements having surfaces that are submerged in sap during evaporation processes for producing syrup and that have anti-niter-buildup textures designed, configured, and provided to inhibit buildup of hard-to-remove niter deposits that tend to form on such surfaces. In some embodiments, anti-niter-buildup texture is provided to reduce the amount of contact between niter particles in the sap and the surfaces, for example, by controlling (e.g., minimizing) the number of contact points and/or minimizing the contact area, between each particle and the surface. Anti-niter-buildup texture may be provided to a surface of an element in any suitable way, such as machining, coating, etching, and peening, among others, and any combination thereof. Syrup-making evaporators and evaporation system incorporating such elements are also disclosed, as are method of making elements for evaporator and method of making evaporators.
