Helicoid heat exchanger for grape mash and fruit pulp
Enhance your beverage processing with a heat exchanger designed for high-efficiency heating and cooling of grape mash and fruit pulp, accommodating solids and fibers while optimizing energy use. Ideal for precision temperature control in continuous, in-line fermentation and chilling operations.
Controls Fermentation and Temperature in Grape Mash Processing
The C 24 Helicoid Monotube Heat Exchanger from Cadalpe is a precision-engineered solution tailored for the intricate demands of the beverage and wine industries. This heat exchanger distinguishes itself with a unique helicoid design that utilizes counterflowing fluids, ensuring an exceptionally high heat exchange coefficient. Its specialized corrugated stainless steel pipes reduce the required heat exchange surface, outperforming conventional smooth pipe heat exchangers. It’s particularly adept at processing grape mash, fruit pulp, and other products with suspended solids, making it ideal for applications involving white wine chilling, red wine fermentation control, and fruit juice concentration. The entire unit is constructed from AISI 304 stainless steel, offering outstanding corrosion resistance. Optional polyurethane insulation and stainless steel covers enhance operational efficiency. Designed for continuous, in-line operations with the capability to handle up to 25-30% suspended solids, this equipment supports high-speed production environments. Customization options and engineering support are available to align with specific production requirements.
