Heat exchanger for high viscosity products
In food production, managing the consistent heating of high viscosity products like concentrates, or items with fibers can be challenging. Precise and effective heat transfer is crucial to ensure product quality and safety, especially at low production speeds.
Ensures uniform and effective heat exchange
The Sterideal® QT Heat Exchanger from JBT is a specialized heat exchanger designed for high viscosity products and concentrates. It features scientifically placed fins inside the annular product space, acting as a static mixer to ensure a uniform and effective heat exchange. The heat transfer occurs from both sides of the product, which optimizes the heating process even at low production speeds. This exchanger can use hot water, cold water, or glycol as the heat transfer medium, and is capable of being manufactured in various construction materials, ranging from 316L stainless steel to special alloys. It is suitable for applications in baby food processing, fruit and vegetable processing, and tomato processing. Different tube diameters are available to meet specific design specifications, such as capacity, speed, thermal cycle, and system pressure.
