Ohmic heat exchanger for high viscosity foods
Optimize the thermal processing of heat-sensitive foods with precise ohmic heating, ensuring both rapid temperature control and product quality, especially for high viscosity and particle-rich products.
Heats and Sterilizes Liquid and Semi-Liquid Foods
The Sterideal Ohmic Heat Exchanger from JBT is engineered to enhance your food and beverage processing with its rapid and uniform heating capabilities. Utilizing high voltage to achieve precise temperature control, it is ideal for the continuous processing of liquid, semi-liquid, and slurry products. The ohmic heating method ensures that particles heat at the same rate as their liquid carriers, preserving the quality of diced products and preventing overheating.
This exchanger is particularly suited for applications involving fruit preparations, soups, sauces, and purees, such as tomato puree, orange juice, almond milk, and ranch dressing. The equipment integrates seamlessly into existing production lines, optimized for high-speed operations with minimal pressure drops, and reducing the risk of product damage.
Available with various process controls, the Sterideal Ohmic Heat Exchanger can be customized to meet critical temperature requirements, ensuring compliance with strict pasteurization and sterilization standards. Built to minimize energy consumption, its compact design conserves floor space, and the Clean-In-Place system guarantees efficient maintenance with complete drainage, leaving no residue behind. JBT provides comprehensive engineering support to tailor configurations for specific production needs, ensuring maximum throughput and optimal performance.
