Quick Overview

Shanghai Ftherm®  Machinery Co., Ltd. is a renowed scraped surface heat exchangers manufacturer from China. 

for many years, They have been raising productivity, lowering production costs, and delivering Scraper Heat Exchanger products with affordable price and excellent quality for a wide range of processing industries.

Ftherm® Machinery were widely application the scraped surface heat exchangers in food industry, petroleum indurstry, chemical field, pharmaceutical, and allied industries have reduced labor costs and increased production efficiency.

Ftherm® Scraper Heat Exchangers continue to replace many slow, inefficient batching operations with more uniform, controllable, and repeatable continuous processing. Ftherm® superior heat transfer performance and ability to handle a wide range of viscosities makes it the clear choices over tubular or massive plate heat exchangers in viscous applications.

First, Let's take a look at what are Ftherm® T Series Scraper Heat Exchangers.

Introduction

Many  foods and particulate-laden  products cannot obtain the best heat transfer due to their consistency. For example, foods containing large, sticky, sticky or crystalline products can quickly block or clog certain parts of the heat exchanger. This scraper heat exchanger absorbs the characteristics of terlet equipment and adopts special designs that can heat or cool those products that affect the heat transfer effect. When the product is feed in o the material cylinder through the pump, the scraper holder and the scraper heat exchanger device ensure an even temperature distribution, while continuously and gently mixing the product, the material is scraped away from the heat exchanger surface.

Ftherm® T Scraped surface heat exchangers are vertical scraper heat exchangers, which are equipped with two coaxial heat exchange surfaces to provide the best heat exchange. This series of products has the following advantages.

1. The vertical unit provides a large heat exchange area while saving valuable production floors and area.

2. The heat exchanger have double wall scraping surface and low-pressure and low-speed working mode, but it still has considerable circumferential linear speed without loss of heat exchange effect, which is the most important when dealing with highly sensitive or complex products that are easily damaged by high speed.

3. The Ftherm® T scraped surface heat exchanger design channel gap is large, and the maximum channel gap is 50mm, which can handle large particle products and maintain integrity, such as strawberries.

4. The heat transfer cylinder of the equipment is designed to be detachable. If the heat exchange surface needs to be polished or replaced, the heat transfer cylinder can be easily disassembled and separated.

5. The top cover on the top of the equipment can be opened, and there is no need to disassemble the mechanical seal and main shaft, you can simple internal inspection of the equipment.

6. Single mechanical seal, Ftherm ® T scraper heat exchanger mechanical seal can be replaced quickly, no hydraulic system is required.

7. Continuous sweeping motion and overall heat exchange area to achieve efficient heat transfer.

8. Easy maintenance, easy disassembly and simple cleaning.

Advantages of Ftherm ® T Scraper heat exchanger

1.scraped surface heat exchanger working principle: economical and clean

The mixing system continuously scrapes the entire heated or cooled surface, resulting in very efficient heat transfer. Compared with traditional plate heat exchangers or tube heat exchangers, this scraping principle has great efficiency advantages. In addition, this prevents the product from sticking to the side.

2. Mixed preservation uniformity

Another advantage of the mixing system is that the liquid also mixes when scraped. This helps to transfer heat and keep the liquid even. In some cases, the product can even be inflated with or without compressed air or nitrogen.

3. Cooling and heating large particle products

With Ftherm ® T series scraper heat exchangers, products containing particles can be cooled and heated. Keep the maximum product flavor. You can cool/heat products with a maximum particle size of 25 mm.

4. Wash thoroughly

The existing CIP system can be applied to Ftherm ® T series scraper heat exchangers. You can clean the scraper heat exchanger with or against the water flow, so that the mixing system can rotate clockwise or counterclockwise, which has a very good cleaning effect.

Ftherm ® T Scraped surface heat exchanger design concept

1. Scraper can be easily replaced without tools

2. CIP cleaning and SIP online sterilization are possible

3. Do not disassemble the mechanical seal when inspecting the product area

4. Large heat exchange area, small footprint

5. Low speed, good retention of granular product integrity

6. Material cartridge can be replaced

7. Maintenance friendly design, only one mechanical seal and bearing

Compare with Ftherm ® X Scraper Heat Exchanger

The Ftherm® T series is a vertical scraped surface heat exchanger equipped with two coaxial heat exchange wall to provide the best heat exchange area. This design has the following characteristics compared to the Ftherm® X series.

1. Vertical unit provides large heat exchange area and saves valuable production floor area.

2. Easy maintenance, easy disassembly and simple cleaning.

3. Adopt low-pressure and low-speed working mode, but still have considerable circumferential linear speed, good heat exchange.

4. The channel gap is large, the maximum channel gap is 50mm.
