Scraped surface ultra cooler for liquid temperature reduction
Optimize your liquid cooling processes with advanced heat transfer technology, ensuring consistent temperature control and energy efficiency even for high-viscosity products.

Performs Efficient Cooling and Heat Transfer
The Scraped Surface Ultra Cooler – Frigouniversal from TMCI Padovan is an innovative solution designed to deliver high-performance cooling for wine, juice, and distillate production. This equipment utilizes evaporators with stainless steel scraped surfaces, ensuring superior heat transfer by maintaining continuous contact between the liquid and refrigerant. Integrated compressors, either hermetic or semihermetic, alongside condensers cooled by air or water, enable a comprehensive refrigeration cycle involving evaporation, compression, condensation, and expansion.
This ultra-cooler is particularly vital for processing Chardonnay and Merlot wines, Concord and white grape juices, as well as brandy and whiskey, by controlling temperature with precision. Designed for continuous operation, it excels in high-viscosity applications thanks to its rotating blades that ensure even temperature distribution. The modular setup is thermally insulated with polyurethane foam to enhance energy efficiency.
Freon and ammonia options are available as refrigerants, with dry expansion and flooded type evaporators to cater to specific cooling needs. Built to integrate seamlessly into production lines, it offers customization to meet various throughput requirements. The unit’s durable construction, combined with safety and control instruments, optimizes both functionality and maintenance, ensuring dependable long-term performance across the food, beverage, wine, distillation, and juice production industries.
