Coiled heat exchanger for high viscosity products
When processing viscous products like soups with chunks or dairy desserts, maintaining consistent heating and cooling can be challenging. Ensuring product integrity and efficiency throughout the process is crucial.
Efficient heat treatment with high pressure tolerance
The Tetra Pak® Coiled Heat Exchanger is a next-generation coiled tubular heat exchanger designed to handle both low and high viscous products, including those with particles up to 25 millimeters in diameter. The system operates at product pressures up to 300 bar and media pressures up to 10 bar, with a media design temperature reaching 165 degrees Celsius. Its coiled mono-tube design ensures gentle mechanical treatment, which preserves the integrity of larger particles. The floating-end design facilitates high hygiene and simplified maintenance by absorbing the effects of thermal expansion. The optional energy recovery feature further reduces energy consumption by up to 47%, cutting down on steam usage, utility water, and electricity, and reducing carbon emissions by up to 23% annually. Ideal for applications ranging from smooth sauces to chunky fruit jams, this heat exchanger ensures excellent product quality with uncompromised food safety.
