Producing sauces and condiments requires heat exchangers that can handle viscous fluids with particulates while maintaining product texture, flavor, and hygiene. 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, cooking, and cooling of sauces, condiments, and dressings in the food and beverage industry.
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 delicate products to preserve quality. These exchangers are customized to manage high-viscosity fluids and solid particulates, with ASME and 3A certification available for industry compliance.
The compact and sanitary design of tube-in-tube heat exchangers makes them ideal for sauce and condiment production, ensuring hygiene, product integrity, and efficiency in food processing environments.
Heat exchanger operations for sauce and condiment production 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 sauces and condiments while maintaining efficiency, hygiene, and product quality.
