Coiled heat exchanger for viscous and particulate products
Optimize heat treatment of viscous and particulate foods with a coiled tubular system designed for high pressure and reduced energy consumption, ensuring product integrity and operational efficiency.

The Tetra Pak® Coiled Heat Exchanger is an essential solution for dairy and food producers looking to optimize their heating and cooling processes. This coiled tubular heat exchanger enables you to handle a wide range of viscous and particulate products, from yogurt and almond milk to chunky soups and jams, maintaining particle integrity and product quality. With a pressure rating up to 300 bar, it facilitates high-capacity operations for viscous products while reducing costs. Its unique design includes a coiled mono-tube with a floating end for gentle mechanical treatment and high hygiene standards, allowing ease of maintenance. An optional energy recovery feature significantly cuts energy consumption, saving up to 2,800 tons of steam and reducing the carbon footprint by up to 23% annually. Built with corrosion-resistant materials and offering seamless CIP integration, this heat exchanger supports continuous, efficient processing tailored to your production demands.
