Application:
Dairy operation wanted to use steam injection for in-line pasteurization of soy milk. The requirement of the heater was two-fold in that hot water, at the same load, was required during sterilization and CIP runs.
Process Conditions:
Liquid Flow Rate: 1,600-2,500 GPH
Specific Gravity: 1.07-1.09
Specific Heat: .96
Inlet Temperature: 165ºF
Discharge Temperature: 290ºF
Steam Pressure: 100 PSIG
Product Pressure: 65 PSIG
Steam Flow Required: 1,717-2,684 lbs/hr
Solution:
Pick Model SC25-3 with 2” connections was selected. Pick Heater scope of supply was limited to steam valve, check valve and heater body to satisfy customer requirements.
Features and Benefits:
• Achieve High Process Temperatures
• In-line Heating Speeds up Production
• Wide Liquid Flow Rate Turn Down
• Exceptional Temperature Control
Why Choose Direct Steam Injection for Food Processing?
Pick Heaters' direct steam injection technology provides rapid, precise heating for a wide range of food products, including sauces, dairy products, starches, slurries, and prepared foods. By delivering steam energy directly into the product stream, processors can achieve consistent temperatures, improve production efficiency, and maintain product quality. The gentle heating action helps preserve product characteristics while supporting sanitary processing requirements and continuous operation.
