Coiled heat exchanger for high viscosity products

Efficiently handle high-pressure, viscous product heating and cooling with energy-saving capabilities, ensuring particle integrity and hygiene in continuous operations.

Heats, Cools, and Preserves Viscosity of Food Products

The Tetra Pak® Coiled Heat Exchanger is tailor-made for food and beverage industries requiring efficient heat treatment of both viscous and particulate products. Featuring a unique coiled mono-tube design, it enables gentle mechanical treatment that preserves particle integrity, making it perfect for applications ranging from tomato ketchup and Alfredo sauce to yogurt-based desserts and jams. Capable of handling product pressure up to 300 bar, this exchanger promotes high-capacity continuous processing, reducing costs per liter for producers. Its optional energy recovery feature offers up to 47% savings on energy consumption, promoting eco-friendly operations. Thanks to a floating end design, it ensures high hygiene and easy maintenance by allowing thermal expansion without cracking the tubes. Available in various material options, it is built to suit different product characteristics and operational conditions, enhancing its versatility and reliability in demanding production lines.
