Terlotherm, unique design features (click to enlarge)The Terlotherm scraped surface heat exchanger (SSHE) has special design features which makes it ideal for heating and cooling products that impair good heat transfer.
This scraped surface heat exchanger easily processes different types products, such as yoghurt fruit, soups, sauces, eggs, fudge or mascara and other products and applications.
The Terlotherm is of a vertical design, with two concentric heat exchange surfaces to provide optimum heat transfer. Because of that, the Terlotherm SSHE:
- Has large heat exchange area
- Takes up little floor space
Due to the bottom driven design the shaft enters the product area at the top of the inner cylinder. There is no shaft going through the top lid. This results in no product contanimation. Besides, having only one seal (one bearing) makes the Terlotherm easy to maintain. No special hydraulic system is required to take out the scrapers.
In particular the Terlotherm's unique scraping design makes it eminently suitable for heating and cooling of viscous products:
- Continuous scraping of the entire heat exchange surface.
- High quality scrapers (including introduction of new all-in-one design scrapers).
Both heat exchanging walls of the Terlotherm SSHE are scraped. The scrapers keep the product from the wall and guarantee optimum mixing. The scraper blades are manufactured of hygienic, chemical resistant, non-toxic synthetic materials. All product contacting parts of the heat exchanger are of FDA approved material. |
 All-in-one scraper. |
The Terlotherm Scraped Surface Heat Exchanger (SSHE) utilizes low pressures and low rpm’s, but still maintains the same tips speeds of the scraper blades. It enables products to be handled without causing damage to the product, even if it contains whole fruit pieces or vegetables up to 25mm. More advantages...
