Frequently Asked Questions
1. How do you ensure uniform heating in food processing?
Uniform heating requires proper jacket design covering the product zone, optimized jacket flow patterns, and appropriate agitation. We design jacket inlet and outlet placement for even flow distribution and size jacket area for adequate heat transfer. Agitation ensures product mixing and uniform temperature.
2. What heat transfer rates are achievable for food processing?
Heat transfer rates depend on jacket type, heating medium, and product characteristics. We design for your specific process requirements including heating time, temperature rise, and batch size. Jacket selection balances heat transfer capability with sanitary design and economics.
3. Can your vessels handle viscous food products?
Yes, we design for viscous products including scraped-surface capability for highly viscous materials. Jacket design accounts for reduced heat transfer with viscous products. Agitation systems prevent scorching and ensure uniform heating. We address your specific product characteristics in the design.
