RECOVERING HIGH VALUE PRODUCTS HELPS
FOOD FACTORIES MAXIMISE RETURNS
When processing any kind of
remotely viscous food product it
is inevitable that a certain amount
will adhere to surfaces, such as the
inside of vessels and pipe work,
or be left inside equipment after
processing. The potential value of
this lost product can soon add up.
All too often food companies are
processing more than necessary
to produce their required output
volumes, and high value product is
lost, which is both inefficient and
expensive.
There are two ways of minimising
such losses. The first involves
designing equipment, such as
tubular heat exchangers, to prevent
product adhering to the surface in
the first place, while the second
is the use of dedicated systems
to clean and recover product from
equipment after processing and
before full cleaning occurs.

minimises surface losses while
processing so a ‘fouling layer’ is
not built up inside heat transfer
equipment, therefore maintaining
thermal performance. When it
comes to reducing losses from
the cleaning cycle, consider a
heat exchanger which can empty
itself, such as the HRS R Series.
This tube-in-tube heat exchanger
uses a scraper bar with a helical
screw which is designed to reduce
pressures but can also be used to
empty the tubes of product without
damage or deterioration.
The system is particularly suitable
for high value viscous products
such as honey, treacle, custards
and creams. The R-Series can be
configured for both horizontal and
vertical operation, so gravity can be
used to help recover product. Each
unit can be supplied with one, three
or six tubes and multiple units can
be combined for larger installations.
Due to the amount of product
saved, and the fact that it is often
unnecessary to install additional
product recovery systems, the R
Series heat exchanger can quickly
pay for itself, and in the long term
can be a more economical option
than alternative systems with lower
capital cost.
The R Series tube-in-tube heat
exchanger uses a reversible screw to
recover product without damaging the
product.
Four HRS R3 Triple tube Rotary Scraped Surface Heat Exchangers provide
continuous heating and cooling of high value products with large particulates.
