Contherm® scraped surface heat exchangers are robust, high-performance solutions for demanding heating and cooling duties across sectors such as food, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and personal care. Unlike traditional heat exchangers, these systems are engineered to handle viscous, crystallizing, or particulate-rich materials, making them ideal for challenging applications.
Alfa Laval’s rotating scraping technology reduces fouling during operation, which maintains high thermal efficiency while ensuring gentle product handling. This is especially important for shear-sensitive or sticky formulations, where maintaining product integrity is critical. Compared to a static scraped heat exchanger, Contherm® provides a larger flow area and reduced pressure drop, maximizing uptime and process reliability
Scraped surface heat exchangers are essential for the continuous thermal processing of viscous, sticky, crystallizing, or heat-sensitive products. Designed for high efficiency and gentle handling, they ensure consistent product quality across demanding applications in the food, pharmaceutical, and personal care industries, delivering hygienic, reliable, and cost-effective performance.
