Scraped surface heat exchanger for high-viscosity products
When processing industrial food products with very high viscosity or significant particle content, conventional heat treatment systems may not be able to handle the viscosity efficiently. This can lead to inconsistent product quality or increased operational downtime.

Handles high-viscosity products efficiently
The Scraped Surface Heat Exchanger (SSHE) Ultra High Temperature (UHT) system by SPX Flow is specifically designed to handle products with very high viscosity, which are unsuitable for tubular or plate UHT plants. This system is robust and flexible, ensuring effective heat treatment while maintaining product integrity. The SSHE’s design incorporates a mechanism to continuously scrape the product surface, preventing burning or sticking, which is critical for maintaining consistent quality. The system is particularly suited for industries dealing with dairy products, food processing, and other high-viscosity applications.
Benefits
- Suitable for high-viscosity products, ensuring consistent processing
- Prevents product burning or sticking with a continuous scraping mechanism
- Maintains product integrity and quality during heat treatment
- Robust design for flexible operation
- Ideal for food processing and dairy industries
