The Consistator® LD 134 is designed to meet market demand for high quality products as well as providing low cost production. With the Consistator® LD 134 you can produce everything from caramel, chocolate products, cream fillings and jams to marinades, sauces, and mayonnaise, in addition to a variety of other products that require thermal processing.
The Consistator® LD 134 is a vertical/horizontal scraped surface heat exchanger with an interchangeable tube that can be customized depending on the product, particle size, hygienic requirements, space constraints and the heating/cooling medium. The tube is mounted in an insulated and completely sealed multi-purpose jacket of stainless steel, which can operate with a choice of media including hot water, steam, glycol, brine, or cold water depending on the application. Different sizes of rotors enable processing of products with particles and solids.
The Consistator® LD 134 series scraped surface heat exchanger comes in two basic configurations:
Horizontal
Rigid stainless steel frame
Easily extendable up to 6 cylinders
Vertical
Rotatable cylinder for easy maintenance
Low space requirements up to 4 cylinders in a frame
Function and Principles of Operation
The product to be heated/cooled is pumped into the tube where a scraper rotor system continuously scrapes the product off the inner tube wall which provides an excellent heat transfer (high K-values).
