Heat exchanger and pump solutions for an aseptic fruit processing
HRS Process Technology Inc. has supplied heat exchanger and pump solutions for an aseptic fruit processing plant in Oxnard, California. The system, which includes a DTA-series heat exchanger and a BP8 and BP10 pump, will process 4 tons per hour of aseptic sliced and diced strawberry in syrup.
This is the second time HRS Heat Exchangers have been involved in a project with the Oxnard, California plant. Industrial treatment of products with particulates, like whole or diced fruits for example, can be challenging for food processors as the product itself can be easily damaged. The combination of the HRS’ DTA-series heat exchanger and BP series pumps guarantee zero damage to the particulate whilst maintaining product integrity and shape.
Designed to overcome many challenges associated with traditional pumps, HRS’ BP-series reciprocating positive-displacement pump is a hydraulically operated pump that delivers high flow rates and high-pressure drop. The hygienic design combined with a perfect response to CIP cleaning makes this pump suited for food processing applications, especially for particulate and low shear rate products.
Featuring large dimple corrugated tubes, HRS’ DTA-series heat exchangers are also ideally suited for food applications. The movement of the product generated by the corrugated tubes ensures the gentle agitation of the product through the tube and guarantees the thermal process without degrading the product and keeping the product intact.
“Chopped fruit and vegetables, which are aseptically packed in a convenient ready to use form, have become very popular for commercial use. The reason for this lies in their high added value compared to canned products and their ease of use for transformation companies that use them for commercial production of convenience foods. The success of our technology for fruit dices aseptic plants is based on our corrugated double tube heat exchangers, piston pump, and our aseptic filler. Combining them makes it possible to process the fruit pulp and purée minimising the undesirable thermal effects and get a reliable, hygienic and well controlled filling process”, said Carlos Cobian, General Manager, HRS Process Technology Inc.
