Heat exchanger for dairy and beverage applications
Optimize your liquid product thermal processing by directly regenerating heat, ensuring maximum energy efficiency and maintaining product quality during preheating and sterilization stages.
Preheats and Sterilizes Liquid Products Efficiently
The Sterideal DR Heat Exchanger from JBT is designed for efficient thermal processing of liquid products in food and beverage production. It uniquely eliminates the need for an intermediate water circuit by using direct product-to-product heat exchange, enhancing energy efficiency. Suitable for low-viscosity applications, it serves juice, dairy, and plant-based beverage industries, producing end-products like cold brew coffee, almond milk, and fruit purees. With a customizable design that includes various tube diameters and construction materials, from 316L stainless steel to special alloys, it handles complex thermal cycles and pressures. The system offers seamless integration into continuous processing lines, ensuring precise sterilization and preheating, while reducing energy consumption. Backed by JBT’s PRoCARE® services, it includes on-site support and training for optimal performance and maintenance.
