Heat exchanger for dairy and beverage applications
Producing sterile dairy products or beverages efficiently requires a highly efficient heat exchange process. Challenges often include high energy consumption and the need for intermediate water circuits, which can complicate operations and increase costs.

Direct heat exchange for high-efficiency preheating.
The Sterideal DR Heat Exchanger by JBT is specifically designed for low viscosity products, such as dairy and beverage applications. This system achieves high regeneration efficiency by preheating incoming product with the hot sterile product leaving the holding tube, eliminating the need for an intermediate water circuit. Capable of using various heat exchange mediums like hot water, cold water, glycol, or product itself, it offers flexibility in operation. Available in different tube diameters, the heat exchanger can be customized to meet capacity, speed, thermal cycle, and system pressure requirements. The construction materials range from 316L to special alloys, ensuring durability and compatibility with diverse applications.
