Scraped surface heat exchanger for food processing
In food processing, achieving precise, efficient heating and cooling is crucial for maintaining product quality and safety. Industries such as sauces, dairy concentrates, and ready meals often face challenges in preventing burn-on and ensuring uniform product consistency.
Efficient heat exchange with gentle product handling
The PERFITHERM from Perfinox is a vertical scraped surface heat exchanger designed for versatile applications in the food industry. It features a double jacket for maximum surface area and efficient temperature exchange. Scrapers integrated into the system gently and continuously remove the product from the heat exchanger walls, preventing burn-on and ensuring uniform heating or cooling. This design is especially beneficial for sensitive products like mayonnaise, hummus, and fruit preparations. With capacities ranging from 100 kg/hr to 10,000 kg/hr and capabilities for deep-cooling, aseptic cooling, sterilization, pasteurization, and gelling, the PERFITHERM is suitable for both small-scale and large-scale operations. The system is also equipped with temperature probes, a double mechanical seal, and a jacketed product outlet, and it is designed for easy maintenance with clean-in-place (CIP) and steam-in-place (SIP) systems. Optional features include a “ready to work” pack with a modulating valve, traps, shutoff valves, accessories, motor shroud, and skid mounting, including a control system.
