This includes equipment such as pumps, filling machines, heat exchangers and processing equipment that can operate efficiently when processing products with variations in rheology, viscosity and flow rates.
Australian Heat Transfer innovators Teralba Industries have further developed their range of Dimplelfo Modular Double Tube Heat Exchangers for the food packaging and beverage industry.
The Dimplelfo Modular Double Tube Heat Exchanger features double tube modules (sometimes called tube-in-tube modules), which can be 1 metre through to 12 metres long and Ø25mm to Ø200mm diameter. Depending on the duty required and heating/cooling media available, the double tube modules can be configured as free-standing units, wall-mounted or even as a jacketed line between the production area and the filling/packaging line.
Often referred to as the “LEGO” heat exchanger, the modular blocks can be added to, as heat transfer parameters change. The modular design allows for maximum versatility as each double pipe heat exchanger module can be disassembled and re-configured to handle new product lines or varying heat transfer duties. Dimplelfo Modular Heat Exchangers have been proven in hundreds of applications for heating or cooling food products and slurries containing chunks or particulates – efficiently and without blocking. This includes products containing fruit pieces, stringy pasta or vegetable dices.
With a highly qualified and experienced design and installation team, Teralba can supply double tube heat exchangers with a positive displacement piston pump, specifically designed for products containing large pieces. Temperature control systems of varying automation can be incorporated to meet most budgets.
