Scraped surface heat exchanger for high viscous products
Efficiently handle the cooling and heating of high viscous products while preserving product integrity and preventing build-up with a system designed for continuous inline processing across multiple applications.
Processes and Transfers Heat in Viscous Products
The Kelstream Scraped Surface Heat Exchanger from Gpi De Gouwe is engineered to efficiently manage the thermal processing of high-viscosity liquids and slurries. This unit features a vertical design with dual concentric heated surfaces, enhancing both cooling and heating efficiency inline. It serves a wide array of applications, including food, dairy, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and non-food sectors, accommodating products like mashed potatoes, salsa, mascarpone cheese, and chocolate bars.
Capable of processing up to 10,000 kg/h, the Kelstream operates continuously, ensuring seamless integration into existing production lines. The equipment’s scraping mechanism prevents product contamination and burn-on, maintaining product integrity even with solid components up to 25mm. Its double heat transfer surfaces allow for the complete separation of heating or cooling media from the product area, utilizing glycol, steam, or other media types efficiently.
Constructed with materials like Duplex and Hastelloy, this heat exchanger offers high corrosion resistance while maintaining compliance with industry standards. The Kelstream is PLC-controlled, facilitating automated, precise operations, and is compatible with CIP systems, ensuring thorough and efficient cleaning. Customization options, including various seals and connection types, are available to suit specific production requirements, supported by Gpi De Gouwe’s engineering team.
