Sauce and Condiment Heat Exchangers

Sanitary Tube-in-Tube Heat Exchangers

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:

  • Fluid Preparation: Viscous fluids like sauces or condiments are pre-treated to ensure consistent flow and compatibility with the exchanger.
  • Heat Transfer: The process fluid 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 scorching, texture degradation, or flavor loss in sensitive products.
  • 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, texture, flavor, 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 sauces and condiments while maintaining efficiency, hygiene, and product quality.

Sanitary Tube-in-Tube Heat Exchanger

Sauce and condiment heat exchangers are specialized devices designed to handle viscous, particulate-laden fluids 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 process fluid flowing through the inner tube and a heating or cooling medium in the annular space. Ideal for food and beverage applications like sauces, condiments, and dressings, they ensure corrosion resistance, hygiene, and compliance with 3A and FDA standards.

Stainless steel tube-in-tube heat exchangers for sauce and condiment production transfer heat from a viscous process fluid, such as sauces or dressings, 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, cooking, and cooling in food processing.

Stainless steel tube-in-tube heat exchangers are used for their compact design, corrosion resistance, and ability to handle viscous, particulate-laden fluids without clogging or degrading product quality. They excel in food and beverage applications like sauces, condiments, and dressings, 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 sauce and condiment production:

  • 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 viscous fluids.
  • Corrosion Resistance: Durable construction handles acidic food ingredients and cleaning agents.
  • CIP/SIP Compatibility: Seamless integration with automated cleaning and sterilization systems reduces downtime.
