Scraped surface heat exchanger for viscous liquids
In food and industrial processing, handling viscous liquids or those containing particles can be challenging with standard heat exchangers. Traditional plate or tubular heat exchangers often struggle with such consistencies, leading to inefficiencies and potential product quality issues.
Efficiently heat or cool viscous liquids
The Mondomix Mondotherm from Bühler is a heat exchanger specifically designed for the continuous heating or cooling of viscous liquids or liquids containing particles. Unlike traditional systems, the Mondotherm features a vertical jacketed vessel where the product moves from the bottom to the top, ensuring there are no entrapped air pockets. The product is continuously scraped to maintain the right viscosity. This design, combined with stainless steel product contact surfaces, ensures high hygienic standards. Furthermore, the unit is mobile with three stainless steel legs, allowing it to be installed flexibly within any processing line without the need for additional platform or wall attachments. The Mondotherm is especially useful in applications involving the processing of fat creams.
Benefits
- Mobile unit allows flexible installation within processing lines
- Vertical design prevents entrapped air, saving space
- High hygienic standards with stainless steel surfaces
