Scraped surface heat exchanger for high-viscosity products

Designed for handling high-viscosity products, this system ensures efficient and uniform heat transfer, ideal for processing challenging formulations such as custards, plant-based yogurts, and sauces.

Processes High-Viscosity Products with Precision

The Scraped Surface Heat Exchanger Ultra High Temperature System (SSHE UHT) is engineered to efficiently handle high-viscosity products, a challenge for traditional tubular or plate UHT systems. Ideal for applications in dairy, food, and personal care, this system seamlessly incorporates heat transfer, homogenization, and thermal processing to produce products like custard, plant-based yogurt, and lotions. With continuous, high-speed operations, it supports throughput tailored to your needs. Integrating easily into existing production lines with PLC control and remote monitoring, it ensures energy efficiency. Constructed with stainless steel for durability, it complies with industry standards, ensuring safe, high-quality output. A CIP system facilitates effortless cleaning, and customization options are available to meet specific production requirements.
