All types of product may be heated, mixed and cooled using one or all of our specialist designs in sizes from 100 to 1500 litres
Heating
By steam jacket up to 8 bar, direct steam injection, thermal oil, or where access to these is limited or non existent, by direct gas flame or Self steam generation with integral gas or electric fired generators built into the jacket with total control over jacket temperatures and which have sealed jackets operating at 6 bar to ensure quick and efficient operation without water usage.
Cooling
May be undertaken in the process vessel using vacuum, by circulation in the jacket of chilled water or glycol or in a separate vessel to which the product is transferred by pump or vacuum. Often temperatures of less than 5 deg. C will be required. Whether or not cooling is required careful attention must be given to
Agitators
For all types of product application from the most gentle for large particulate such as meat cubes to be cooked or cooled without degradation, to high shear intermixers to ensure creation of emulsions such as creams and lotions. The various types of anchor mixers may be fitted with fully floating PTFE scrapers to avoid burn on and complete the agitator design.
One of the most important features of a process vessel is the design of the agitator to suit the product — to maintain particulate, to emulsify, to blend or just to rouse. All types are in 316 stainless steel and can be variable speed and be fitted with fully floating scrapers.
Here is a selection:
