Scraped surface heat exchanger for viscous liquids

Optimize heating and cooling of viscous liquids efficiently with continuous processing, ensuring consistency and preventing air entrapment, suitable for diverse product formulations.

Heats and Cools Viscous Liquids Efficiently

The Mondomix Mondotherm from Bühler Group is a versatile scraped surface heat exchanger designed for continuous operation in processing lines dealing with viscous or particle-laden liquids. Its vertical design minimizes air entrapment and reduces the footprint, allowing easy integration into existing setups. Engineered with stainless steel contact surfaces, it maintains high hygienic standards with CIP (Clean-In-Place) capability for efficient cleaning. Ideal for applications across food, confectionery, and dairy industries, the Mondomix Mondotherm efficiently heats and cools products like chocolate ganache, cream cheese, and plant-based meat alternatives, ensuring optimal product viscosity. Configurable for various throughput requirements, it offers mobile unit flexibility, high-speed operations, and low maintenance, catering to diverse needs from food manufacturers to cosmetic processors.

Benefits

  • Optimizes process efficiency with continuous temperature control for viscous products.
