Hipex Mixchanger Heat Exchanger for Viscous Products
Mixchanger Heat Exchanger
Hipex has developed the Mixchanger heat exchanger which is ideally suited for heating and cooling viscous food and chemical products. The unique design of the heat exchanger delivers performance unrivalled by conventional tubular heat exchangers.
The clearance within the Mixchanger enables large particulates to be handled without blocking or significant loss in efficiency. The heat exchanger's distinctive continuous mixing capability provides a much greater rate of heat transfer than can be achieved with other types of heat exchanger.
Features of Hipex Mixchanger Heat Exchangers
- The Hipex Mixchanger is particularly effective when heating vicous products. This achieves high heat transfer coefficients where traditional methods of promoting turbulence have become inefficient.
- Unlike scraped surface heat exchangers, the Mixchanger has no moving parts.
- The unique central mixing element of the heat exchanger ensures continuous mixing, improving heat transfer and reducing pressure loss.
- With no moving parts, maintenance is minimal meaning fewer production hold ups.
- A single product channel improves flow distribution, product uniformity and makes for easier cleaning.
- When you choose a Hipex heat exchanger you have the assurance of a thoroughly tested and proven product.
