Scraped surface heat exchanger for viscous products
When producing high-viscosity products like ketchup, mayonnaise, or peanut butter, achieving uniform heat transfer can be challenging. Traditional heat exchangers often struggle with these conditions, leading to inconsistent product quality and increased maintenance requirements.
Heat and cool high-viscosity products efficiently
The Contherm® Scraped Surface Heat Exchanger from Alfa Laval is designed for continuous and semi-continuous processing of a wide range of viscosities. Its unique single-wall design ensures efficient heat transfer and reliable mechanical performance even with viscosities greater than 50,000 cP. The system can handle particles up to 36 mm, making it versatile for various applications including food, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products. Horizontal and vertical installation options offer flexibility to meet space constraints. Additionally, the vertical configuration includes a hydraulic system for quick and safe inspections, reducing service costs.
