The Contherm® scraped surface heat exchanger is a high-efficiency single-wall SSHE designed for continuous and semi-continuous processing of products across a range of viscosities. Whether handling low-viscosity fluids or thick, particulate-rich materials, it ensures consistent heat transfer, reduced fouling, and gentle product handling. With flexible heating and cooling capabilities, the scraped surface heat exchanger optimizes efficiency in food, pharmaceutical, chemical, and personal care.
Versatile heat transfer with Contherm scraped surface heat exchangers
- Versatile solution that can handle particles up to 36 mm and viscosities well in excess of 50,000 cP.
- Easy-to-clean design can flexibly transition between products with limited downtime.
- Multiple material options ensure efficient heat transfer and reliable mechanical performance.
- Flexible installation with horizontal or vertical configuration to meet space limitations.
- Vertical installations include a built-in hydraulic system that allows for fast and safe inspection with low service costs.
The Contherm heat exchanger is the most adaptable heat transfer solution on the market, engineered to handle varied viscosities and processing conditions. It operates at pressures up to 21 bar (300 PSI) and supports scraping speeds from 25 to over 1000 rpm, ensuring optimal heat exchange efficiency.
This versatility allows manufacturers to enhance production in industries such as:
- Food & Beverage: Sauces, creams, and pastes
- Protein & Dairy: Processed meats, whey proteins, and cream cheese
- Pharmaceuticals & Cosmetics: Lotions, gels, and emulsions
- Industrial Applications: Petrochemical and chemical processes
