The Paper Industry finds that Pick Direct Steam Injection heating systems consistently provide creative solutions to process heating requirements.
The Pick Heater provides low velocity, low noise level and low maintenance design.
Because of its quick response to changes in heat load, the Pick Heater can deliver an immediate supply of shower water at a precisely controlled temperature. It is an effective method of cleaning fiber build up from the machine wire and breast roll.
The Pick Heater's precise temperature control is critical for effective washing at the felt section of the paper machine. With thorough loosening and flushing of fibers and fillers from felts, water removal in press section is maximized.
Pick Heaters are often used to replace unstable tank sparging systems because of its smooth, quiet operation. The Pick provides high temperature water instantly to the pulping operation. Its quick response to system demands reduces production time.
Due to its turndown capability, the Pick Heater is perfect for green liquor heating where there is either seasonal temperature change or where start-up and normal operation loads need to be satisfied by a single system. With precise temperature control, the risk of boil over is minimized.
The Pick Heater provides wash water immediately on demand allowing for better separation and dispersal of spent liquors. Precise temperature control improves washing efficiency.
The Pick Heater supplies an instant supply of shower water at precisely controlled temperatures for the lime mud pre-coat filter, resulting in an efficient dilution wash of lime mud.
The Pick "BX" Steam Injection Cooker is successfully used in starch cooking processes worldwide. Its unique concept allows a generous flow-through design with minimal pressure drop for slurries up to 35% solids, which is easily adapted to the mill's existing starch cooking system.
An immediate supply of hot water for the intermittent backwashing of filter elements is demanded for continuous washing cycles at filter banks. The Pick Variable Flow Heater is the only Steam Injection Heater capable of operating throughout a wide range of water flow rates and intermittent demand.
Advantages over cumbersome shell-and-tube exchangers include instantaneous heating and a big savings of floor space due to Pick's compact design. With Direct Steam Injection, hot water can be provided instantly to keep up with varying demands on the boiler.

The pulp and paper industry plays a crucial role in our daily lives, providing essential products such as paper, packaging materials, and tissue products. However, this industry faces unique challenges, including energy consumption, process efficiency, and responding to environmental requirements. Enter Pick Heaters, a leading provider of innovative direct steam injection heating solutions for the specific needs of the pulp and paper industry.
When choosing a Direct Steam Injection Heater, there are a few factors you need to consider, including the type of liquid being heated, how much the liquid flow varies during operation or if you have a unique size or material requirements. Once you have considered these factors, you can start to narrow down your choices.
Customers have many choices for heating water, liquids or slurries, but Direct Steam Injection (DSI) Heaters should be at the top of the list of options for these challenging applications.
Direct Steam Injection (DSI) Heaters are systems that inject steam directly into a liquid or slurry to heat it up to a desired temperature. DSI heaters offer many advantages over other heating methods of heat exchange, but one of the most important benefits is their precise and accurate temperature control.
