Application:
Our customer needed a Pick Sanitary Heater to heat soybean molasses from soybean mash; thereby decreasing the viscosity and making the soybean molasses easier to pump to nearby holding tanks to be used in the production of animal feed.
Process Conditions:
Product Flow Rate: 40 - 60 GPM
Temperature Rise: 30 - 50°F
Steam Pressure: 120 PSIG
Product Pressure: 30 PSIG
Steam Flow Required: 1,141 lbs/hr
Solution:
A Pick SC10-1 Sanitary Heater, to provide 1,141 lbs/hr of steam flow needed to heat the soybean molasses to a discharge temperature of 180°F.
Features and Benefits:
• Small floor space needed for location of Pick Heater
• Easy disassembly and reassembly for cleaning and maintenance (3A compliant)
• Rapidly achieve high process temperature
• Non-plugging, low pressure drop design

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.
