In the dairy industry, falling film chillers are essential for efficient cooling in processes like milk pasteurization, cheese making, and yogurt fermentation. These devices optimize heat transfer, ensuring rapid cooling while preserving product quality and safety.
Falling film chillers are designed to rapidly cool dairy products or process fluids to precise temperatures. In this setup, a thin film of liquid flows over vertical tubes, with refrigerant evaporating inside, providing high-efficiency indirect cooling. They can manage significant temperature drops required in dairy methods such as bulk milk cooling, cream separation, or ice cream mix chilling. Their ability to quickly transfer heat, handle phase changes, maintain hygienic conditions, and support energy recovery make them vital to the industry.
Falling film chillers play a critical role in cooling, condensation, pasteurization, and heat management in dairy production. Manufacturers construct these chillers with materials that meet food industry standards for purity and safety, including sanitary designs compliant with 3-A Sanitary Standards. Advanced engineering addresses scalability and maintenance, allowing seamless integration into dairy systems.
