Beverage Production Cooling Solutions

Falling film chillers are integral to beverage processing as they provide efficient cooling close to freezing points without ice formation. They maintain precise temperature control during pasteurization, fermentation, and bottling, ensuring product quality. These chillers condense and recycle vapors or solvents, making operations more economical and sustainable. They adhere to food safety standards, ensuring safe and high-quality beverage production.

Common chiller types used in the beverage industry include:

• Shell and Tube Chillers: Offer accurate temperature control and durability for high-volume beverage processing.
• Plate Heat Chillers: Ideal for efficient heat transfer, easy cleaning, and scalability in beverage settings.
• Falling Film Chillers: Provide high-efficiency cooling for viscous fluids and near-freezing applications in beverage processes.

Stainless steel and sanitary alloys are ideal for falling film chillers in beverage processing due to their durability and resistance to acids in drinks. These materials withstand temperature fluctuations and interactions with beverages, ensuring long-term performance and hygiene.

Falling film chillers use smooth, non-reactive surfaces like stainless steel to prevent contamination, ensuring process purity. Their design separates the cooling medium from the beverage, eliminating cross-contamination risks. Many are compatible with Clean-in-Place (CIP) systems for easy maintenance, meeting food safety and sanitary standards.

Falling film chillers are key for recovering vapors or condensates in beverage processes like distillation, providing efficient cooling to facilitate recycling while maintaining product integrity.

Falling film chillers enhance energy efficiency by providing high heat transfer rates with minimal refrigerant use. They recover energy between process stages, reducing overall consumption and optimizing beverage operations.

When selecting falling film chillers for beverage applications, essential safety features include:

• Sanitary Design: Built to handle food-grade fluids with sanitary components.
• Temperature and Pressure Controls: Sensors and shutoffs to maintain safe conditions.
• Corrosion-Resistant Materials: Ensures durability against acidic beverages.
• Leak Detection Systems: Prevents fluid leaks and minimizes risks.
• CIP Compatibility: Allows safe cleaning without exposure to hazards.
