Unicus® Dynamic Scraped Surface Heat Exchanger
The Unicus® is a dynamic scraped surface heat exchanger with a unique scraped surface action which optimises the heat exchange area by increasing the heat transfer
coefficient by the combined action of:
- A reduction in fouling (self cleaning heat exchanger).
- An increase in turbulence due to the continuous reciprocating movement of the scraping elements.
The advantages that this heat exchanger presents when compared to other rotating scraped heat exchangers are:
- An increase in continuous running time with a smaller number of shutdowns.
- More competitive than other scraped heat exchangers given a much larger surface area.
- Lower induced shear stress in the Product than rotating scraped heat exchangers.
- Product particle integrity is maintained in food applications.
- Lower maintenance costs.
- Large heat transfer areas (up to 100 m2).
- Can be used in many different applications such as:
- Protein Industry
- Bakery and Confectionery
- Dairy
- Beverages
- Fruits and Vegetables
- Convenience food
- Pharmaceutical
- Personal care
- Environment
