Scraped surface heat exchanger for food processing
Efficiently handle temperature-sensitive food products with a compact system that ensures gentle processing and precise thermal control, ideal for maintaining product quality and consistency.
Processes and Cools Liquid and Slurry Products
The PERFITHERM from Perfinox is a vertical scraped surface heat exchanger adept for demanding food and beverage processing applications. It leverages a dual-jacketed vertical design to maximize heat exchange surfaces, enabling efficient heating, cooling, sterilizing, and pasteurizing processes. With capacities from 100 kg/hr to 10,000 kg/hr, this system integrates seamlessly into both batch and continuous production lines, managing operations like emulsifying and homogenizing for products ranging from soups to smoothies.
PERFITHERM’s unique advantage lies in its gentle product handling mechanism combined with advanced scrapers, reducing thermal degradation and maintaining product quality. Automated and designed for both CIP (Cleaning-in-Place) and SIP (Sterilization-in-Place), it ensures thorough, easy maintenance without disassembly. Equipped with a PLC control system, it supports remote monitoring and reduces energy consumption through optimized motor control.
Constructed with durable materials, the heat exchanger is suitable for handling liquid and slurry products like dairy, plant-based beverages, and fruit preparations, compliant with food industry standards. Customizable features, including temperature probes and motor shrouds, offer engineering flexibility to meet specific processing requirements.
