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:
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.
