Evotube heat exchanger modules

The Evotube shell-and-tube heat exchanger modules are suitable for several products that have different flow behaviours (also with particle/fibre content). For example, any kind of juice; milk, milk-based mixed drinks, soy milk; and beverages containing particles/fibres.

The heat transfer units can be customised to match the product characteristics involved in each project.

The modules use cross-corrugated tubes making them suitable for viscous products. The tubes require shorter heat-up and cool-down phases, which reduces the thermal impact on the product. The tubes are designed to break up the laminar boundary layer in the product flow, thus ensuring high turbulence and heat transfer capacities over a wide performance and viscosity profile.

The customised units are designed to improve the retention of the product’s taste, vitamin content and colour.

The cross-corrugated-tube technology also enables the space required for the heat exchanger to be reduced by up to 30%.
