Product Details

Scraped surface heat exchangers consist of a cylinder that that has an inner tuber (heat transfer surface area) and an outer tube. Between the two tubes, there is annular space, where the heating or cooling media flows counter-current to the product. Inside the inner tube, a bladed shaft rotates and removes the product from the heat transfer wall areas.

Alfa Laval's Contherm is a vertically or horizontally-mounted scraped surface heat exchanger consisting of a heat transfer cylinder and a rotor with attached scraping blades. The product is pumped into the lower end of the Contherm heat exchange cylinder. As it flows through the cylinder, it is continuously removed from the cylinder's precisely finished walls by the scraping blades.

Features and Benefits:
Contherm design features and options ensure reliability, flexibility, and maximum runtime, adding up to increased lifetime economy and return on investment.

• Aseptically sealed units minimizes contamination
• Tangential product head design assures gentle product treatment
• Dedicated hydraulic rotor lift system allows for easy inspection and maintenance
• Automatic maintain-status feature provides an automated control function
• Vertical orientation saves floor space
• Bellows thermal expansion joint eliminates the?maintenance associated with gasket-style expansion joints

Typical uses:
The Contherm is particularly suited for processing viscous, sticky, or chunky (containing particles) products that are to be pumped.

A newly developed 6 X 11 Contherm provides you with more in terms of heat transfer and production capacity for your food processing applications.
