Ohmic heat exchanger for high viscosity foods
Ohmic heating is crucial when you need rapid and uniform temperature distribution in high viscosity food products, such as soups, purees, and fruit jams. Traditional heating methods often fail to provide the same level of precision and quality preservation.
Ensures uniform heating for thermo-sensitive products
The Sterideal® Ohmic Heat Exchanger by JBT offers a groundbreaking solution for heating liquid and semi-liquid foods. This system applies high voltage to the food product, converting it into an electrical resistance that generates heat through the Joule effect. This method allows for incredibly fast heating and come-up times, delivering uniform temperature distribution across the pipe section. It’s particularly effective for thermo-sensitive products and large size particles up to 35 mm. The system also minimizes product damage and pressure drop by maintaining lower product speed. Additionally, it features a comprehensive drainage system that leaves no residual product or Clean-In-Place chemicals. Configurations are available with several process controls to ensure critical temperatures are met.
