Scraped-surface heat exchanger for industrial fruit processing

Optimize your production with this advanced scraped-surface heat exchanger, designed to prevent fouling while ensuring efficient thermal transfer and mixing for medium to high-viscosity and particle-containing fluids. Ideal for reducing processing times and improving product quality in demanding industrial applications.

Enhances Heat Transfer and Mixing Efficiency

The Scraped-Surface Rotative Heat Exchanger RM Series by Aurum Process Technology is designed to address the challenges in processing high-viscosity and particle-containing fluids for food and body care industries. Featuring a rotating bar with scrapping elements, it efficiently prevents fouling, enhances mixing, and reduces pressure losses. This system is ideal for the production of hummus, vegetable-based baby food, sauces, and body care products. With the capability to handle continuous operations, it supports processes such as sterilization, pasteurization, and cooling. The RM Series offers energy efficiency through its optimized design and is built with a durable expansion joint that accommodates thermal expansion, extending the equipment’s lifespan. Available with PLC integration for seamless line incorporation, it supports aseptic processing standards and can be customized to meet specific plant requirements.
