Consistator® LD 134 - Scraped Surface Heat Exchangers

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 OperationThe 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).The Consistator® LD 134 is based on a multi-flexible platform and designed to operate under harsh conditions where other heat exchanger technologies can fail or cannot sustain operational efficiency over a longer period. Additionally, our solutions comply with the full spectrum of certification demands.Advantages

• Multi-purpose machine for a wide range of product qualities and consistencies.
• Hygienic design suitable for the food industry. Product contacting parts are made in stainless steel AISI 316.
• Customization, multiple options.
• Vertical & horizontal configurations.
• The cylinders are manufactured in a special thin-walled material for optimal heat transfer (high K-values). These can be supplied in different materials depending on the application.Various rotor sizes depending on the application requirements which ensure optimal heat transfer or an adjustment to the particle size.
• Heatable rotor to avoid product build-up when cooling crystallizing products.
• Maximum time of trouble-free operation provided by a selection of a high-tech, double mechanical, cartridge type seals as well as wear-resistant scraper blade material.
• Cartridge design for fast and easy maintenance
• Off-the-shelf SPX FLOW SIC/SIC sealing surfaces widely available
• Aseptic production option.
• Flushable double mechanical seals for aseptic design or solidifying or abrasive product particles i.e. sugar
• Clip-on insulation for easy mounting/dismounting
• Short CIP/SIP time
• Easy maintenance
• Small footprint
• Low downtime
• Easily extendable with up to six units in a frame (horizontal version only)
• Fast delivery and installation
