Direct Steam Injection UHT/HTST
Designed for comparisons of heat treatment with either direct heating or indirect heating. The machine can be supplied with tubes, plates or both. Processing using either direct heating or indirect heating at temperatures to 152 deg C and flow rates from 10 to 40 Ltr per hour. Easy changeover from direct heating or indirect heating by the touch of a button. Just select which system is to be used from the touch panel menu and the machine is ready to use.
Individual tubes are utilized to give a wide variety of heating and cooling duties. The tubes are manufactured to our own specification and are profiled to give turbulence at the low flow rates to enable scale up to production.
No bond Gasketed plate heat exchangers to give a wide variety of heating and cooling duties. The plates are manufactured to our own specification and can be supplied as 1 complete plate pack or individual units for easy maintenance.

MOBILE
The machine is completely mobile, can be moved from one location to another very easily and can be positioned in a wet or dry area.
CONTROL
Each section is individually controlled and the flow path of the system is shown on the touch panel. The product is heated by pressurised hot water recirculators, or steam for the 2nd stage when using the direct heating, which are PID controlled for greater stability and accuracy. The cooling is in 1 or 2 stages dependant on the final cooling temperature required.
PRODUCT PUMP
As standard a progressive cavity pump is used.
Pump options are available depending on the products to be processed.
SERVICE CONNECTIONS
Steam, mains water and a suitable drain required.
Compressed air at 6 bar for the divert valves.
