Scraped surface exchanger for heat transfer with high viscosity

Efficiently handle high-viscosity products and extend maintenance intervals with this robust scraped surface exchanger, designed for seamless integration into complex production lines, enhancing heat transfer and product consistency.

The BORSIG Scraped Surface Heat Exchanger is engineered to enhance thermal exchange and product mixing in demanding applications across chemical, petrochemical, and food processing sectors. With over 90 years of expertise, BORSIG offers a solution that combines modern design and practical application, ensuring stability, reliability, and long service life. This equipment excels in handling complex processes such as heating, cooling, and de-waxing while maintaining high efficiency even with viscous products.

The scraped surface design minimizes fouling on the heat transfer surface, promoting consistent performance and extended maintenance intervals without the need for regular relubrication. Offered with inner tube diameters ranging from 6 to 12 inches, it accommodates varying throughput and heat output requirements. Its robust design allows for outdoor installations without additional protection, utilizing systems like cascade, thermosyphon, or forced circulation compatible with all refrigerant types.

Ideal for processing products such as lube oils, paraffin wax, and shea butter, it ensures efficient extraction and precise temperature control, versatile enough for continuous operation at high speeds. BORSIG’s commitment to quality is evident through mechanical testing at operating pressures, ensuring reliable and safe operation. For seamless integration, an operating manual guides you through installation, commissioning, and maintenance activities.
