FT25BBB latest in scraped surface family
FT25BBB - scraped surface heat exchanger
Armfield has introduced the FT25BBB, the latest in its family of miniature-scale scraped surface heat exchangers designed for UHT/HTST processing of viscous products such as sauces, thick gravies, cosmetics materials and heavy starch based products among others.

It is designed to process very small quantities of product-up to 20 litres an hour - while replicating the full-scale process and providing information to enable accurate scale-up.

It uses three heat exchanger barrels for respectively pre-heat, final heat and cooling, with various holding times available.

The unit has a footprint of less than a square metre and is mounted on a stainless steel cabinet which contains all its services such as hot water circulators. It only needs to be connected to an electricity and water supply.

A splash-proof membrane control console allows the operator to select all the major parameters such as product temperature (up to 150¼C) and mutator speed (up to 1,000rpm) product flow and output temperature. A real time data logger option makes collecting information on product performance very easy.

Other configurations of the FT25 family include a margarine crystalliser and a continuous ice-cream freezer.
