Juice Pulp Heat Exchangers

Sanitary Tube-in-Tube Heat Exchangers

Processing juice with pulp requires heat exchangers that can handle viscous fluids containing solid particulates while maintaining hygiene and product quality. Southwest Thermal’s sanitary-grade stainless steel tube-in-tube heat exchangers are engineered for these applications, offering exceptional corrosion resistance and compliance with 3A and FDA hygiene standards. These units provide efficient heat transfer for processes like pasteurization, ultra-high temperature (UHT) treatment, and cooling of juice pulp in the food and beverage industry, ensuring consistent flavor and texture.

Constructed from 316L stainless steel with polished surfaces (Ra = 32 µin), these exchangers prevent microbial growth and support Clean-in-Place (CIP) and Sterilize-in-Place (SIP) systems for rigorous hygiene. The tube-in-tube design, with its wide-flow paths and smooth surfaces, minimizes fouling and ensures gentle handling of juice pulp to preserve its quality and prevent clogging. These exchangers are customized to manage fluids with varying pulp content, with ASME and 3A certification available for industry compliance.

The compact and sanitary design of tube-in-tube heat exchangers makes them ideal for juice pulp processing, ensuring hygiene, product integrity, and efficiency in food production environments.

Heat exchanger operations for juice pulp processing involve several critical steps to ensure hygiene and product quality:

  • Fluid Preparation: Juice with pulp is pre-treated to ensure consistent flow and compatibility with the exchanger, managing particulate size and viscosity.
  • Heat Transfer: The juice pulp flows through the inner tube, while a heating or cooling medium flows in the annular space, ensuring gentle and efficient heat transfer.
  • Temperature Control: Precise regulation of temperatures prevents flavor degradation, scorching, or texture loss in juice pulp.
  • CIP/SIP Integration: Automated CIP and SIP systems circulate cleaning agents or steam to maintain hygiene and prevent contamination.
  • Testing: Post-process testing verifies product temperature, flavor, texture, and quality to meet food safety and industry standards.

Each stage relies on the precision and durability of stainless steel tube-in-tube heat exchangers to handle juice pulp while maintaining efficiency, hygiene, and product quality.

Sanitary Tube-in-Tube Heat Exchanger

Juice pulp heat exchangers are specialized devices designed to handle viscous fluids with pulp and particulates while ensuring efficient heat transfer without clogging or compromising product quality. Stainless steel tube-in-tube heat exchangers feature an inner tube within an outer tube, with the juice pulp flowing through the inner tube and a heating or cooling medium in the annular space. Ideal for food and beverage applications like juice pasteurization and cooling, they ensure corrosion resistance, hygiene, and compliance with 3A and FDA standards.

Stainless steel tube-in-tube heat exchangers for juice pulp processing transfer heat from a process fluid containing pulp flowing through the inner tube to a heating or cooling medium flowing in the annular space. The wide-flow design minimizes fouling and ensures gentle handling, making them suitable for sanitary applications like pasteurization, UHT treatment, and cooling in juice production.

Stainless steel tube-in-tube heat exchangers are used for their compact design, corrosion resistance, and ability to handle viscous fluids with pulp without clogging or degrading product quality. They excel in juice pulp applications like pasteurization and cooling, where precise temperature control, hygiene, and compliance with 3A and FDA standards are critical for ensuring product safety and quality.

Stainless steel tube-in-tube heat exchangers offer several key benefits for juice pulp processing:

  • Sanitary Design: 316L stainless steel with polished surfaces (Ra = 32 µin) meets 3A and FDA standards, preventing microbial growth.
  • Anti-Clogging: Wide-flow paths minimize fouling and ensure reliable operation with pulp-laden fluids.
  • Corrosion Resistance: Durable construction handles acidic juice fluids and cleaning agents.
  • CIP/SIP Compatibility: Seamless integration with automated cleaning and sterilization systems reduces downtime.
