The Mondotherm is a heat exchanger for continuous heating or cooling of viscous products or products that contain particulates.

It is applied for pumpable liquids that due to their consistence cannot be handled by a plate type or tubular heat exchanger.

The design is based on two concentrical jacketed head exchange surfaces mounted in vertical position in between. A circumferential layer of product is continuously cooled or heated from the jacketed shell as well as the jacketed inner cylinder. The product enters at the bottom and rises by the pump speed, where it leaves through the top lid. Both heat exchange surfaces are continuously scraped by food grade approved scrapers that are mounted on scraper arms and these arms are fixed to a central shaft that is driven from the drive at the bottom.

The unit has a sanitary construction with no dead corners for the product and all product contact surfaces are stainless steel AISI 316. Cleaning can be done easily by pumping cleaning fluid through the product room and no dismantling of parts is necessary (C.I.P. cleanable).

Thanks to its vertical design it occupies less floor space and since the product moves from bottom to the top, there is no change for entrapped air. The unit is mounted on three stainless steel legs and this way can be installed anywhere in the processing line without the need for a platform or attaching it to the wall.

The circumferential layer of product is heated or cooled from both sides (the outer shell as well as the inner cylinder) thus creating a very fast heating or cooling performance.

The Mondotherm is available in different sizes to meet different capacity ranges and in combination with a Mondomixer this total processing system forms an ideal solution for the continuous aeration of temperature sensitive products.
