Huntapac uses a heat exchanger from HRS Heat Exchangers as part of a state-of-the-art line to produce carrot powder.
December 8, 2022
Family owned for four generations, Huntapac is a leading UK grower and supplier of root crops such as carrots and parsnips. Following a reorganization of the business in 2019, the company wanted to develop new value-led product options and so installed a state-of-the-art line to produce carrot powder, with a heat exchanger from HRS Heat Exchangers forming a key part of the new process.
When a cheese processor wanted to increase production capacity, its first thought was to install an additional dryer, which was an expensive and energy-intensive solution. However, as the capacity of the dryer is determined by the amount of water it can remove per hour, another way to increase overall throughput would be to reduce the water content of the cheese products before drying, so that a larger volume could be dried at one time.
Some things actually get better with age as creative engineering improves performance, decreases energy usage and makes a device more efficient and better able to handle a new range of food or beverage products.
The HRS R Series rotating scraped surface heat exchanger is intended for viscous products with extremely high fouling potential or those that require constant agitation.
Xchanger AA Series heat exchangers cool the conveying air close to ambient temperature, using an aluminum plate-fin core with alternating finned flow channels.
Enabling temperature differences between media of only 1 K, the Kelvion NX80M heat exchanger plate simplifies the design of highly compact, gasketed heat exchangers.
