A horizontal-layout version of the heat exchanger, built on the same heat-transfer principle as the vertical type, for facilities requiring horizontal placement.
This heat exchanger is designed for the hygienic heating and cooling of food or personal-care products with high viscosity, stickiness or granular texture. It is suitable for low- to medium-viscosity products such as chocolate, ketchup, soups, sauces, fruit purées, baby food, desserts, body lotions, face creams and shampoos.
For optimum heat transfer, the unit has two matching heat transfer surfaces; continuous scraping across the entire surface ensures efficient heat transfer. General functions include heating and cooling of flowable products that form a film layer on the heat transfer surfaces, and the crystallization process.
It can be manufactured in various configurations and materials to suit the specific requirements of the product being processed.
