Perfector® 180: Advanced Crystallization for Fat-Based Products
Versatile Product Applications
Ideal for producing consumer margarine, industrial margarine, shortening, low-fat spreads, recombined butter, and butter blends.
Engineered for Efficiency
Equipped with up to 6 chilling tubes and 4 cooling systems. Compatible with ammonia or Freon for flexible refrigerant choices.
Function and Principles of Operation
Core Crystallization Mechanism
Utilizes a scraped surface heat exchanger (SSHE) where centrifugal scraping ensures consistent crystallization performance, regardless of product texture.
Anti-Freezing Design During Downtime
Built-in drop tank quickly evacuates refrigerant from the cooling jacket during production pauses to prevent freeze-up.
Production Capacity
Output Range
Handles up to 12.9 tonnes per hour.
