Scraped surface heat exchangers for high viscosity products
Ideal for continuous processing, these heat exchangers efficiently handle high-viscosity materials like sauces, fondants, and gelatin, ensuring precise temperature control and consistent product quality in demanding operations.
Processes High-Viscosity and Heat-Sensitive Products
The Votator II Extra Heavy Duty Scraped Surface Heat Exchanger from Waukesha Cherry-Burrell is engineered to handle highly viscous and temperature-sensitive materials in continuous processing. It features concentric, eccentric, or oval heat transfer tubes for optimal thermal performance across applications like pet food production and sauce blending. This capable unit accommodates products such as dog kibble and mayonnaise with viscosities up to 1,000,000 centipoise. The unit’s high torque and robust roller bearing design ensure reliable operation in demanding environments including food, chemical, and dairy processing industries. The Votator II offers multiple blade materials like stainless steel and PEEK, enhancing compatibility with product fluid characteristics and processing temperatures. Certified with 3-A, ASME, and PED, it integrates seamlessly into automated lines with customizable options to match your processing needs, while maintaining easy maintenance access with available CIP systems.
