Food processing scraped surface heat exchanger

Processes and Transfers Heat in Viscous Products

The Votator® II Horizontal from Gerstenberg Schröder is a specialized scraped surface heat exchanger designed for continuous operation in demanding production environments. It ingeniously combines heat transfer and mechanical agitation to facilitate efficient mixing, heating, and cooling of viscous products. This equipment replaces inefficient batch processes with a streamlined continuous approach, enhancing uniformity and control. Ideal for applications such as cheese sauce, pudding, caramel, and even personal care products like hair gel and stick deodorant, it handles diverse consistency challenges effectively. With capacities up to 11 sq ft of heat transfer area and options for single and double mechanical seals, it’s versatile for various species needs. Automation is achieved via an integral gear motor drive, eliminating the need for additional drive shafts and reducing overall footprint. Stainless steel construction ensures durability, while compliance with 3-A, ASME, and PED standards guarantees operational integrity. Available with PEEK™ blades and multiple blade options, it meets specific processing and material compatibility requirements. Easy maintenance is ensured through features like a removable heat transfer tube and reliable double o-ring seal, minimizing downtime in critical production lines.
