Cylinder
Polished surface cylinder fitted to base plate with clamp and provided with welded-on jacket. Depending on the application, the cylinder jacket can operate with steam, water or glycol media. The cylinder is made of EN.1.4404 (AISI316L)
Dasher and scraper blades
The dasher has two rows of scraper blades which are fitted to pins to allow them to swing freely and scrape the total heat transfer area. The standard dashers are available in two diameter options, i.e. a low displacement dasher and a high displacement dasher. The top section of the dasher is supported by a bearing bush, positioned in the product area. The top bearing surface of the dasher is made of SAF quality steel for high level of abrasive resistance and both the bush and the dasher bearing surface are replaceable in case of excessive wear. The dasher is made of EN.1.4404 (AISI316L) and the scraper blades of food approved plastic (PEEK).
