Overview
Fruit and vegetable processing requires precise temperature control and efficient heating to maintain product quality and safety. Direct Steam Injection (DSI) heaters are an ideal solution for this industry, offering several advantages over traditional heating methods.
From ensuring on-demand heating to preserving nutrients, DSI technology improves the efficiency of processing operations, making it easier for manufacturers to meet quality standards while reducing energy costs:
- Ensures on-demand and consistent heating for processes like blanching, pasteurization, and cooking, improving production speed and maintaining product quality
- Preserves nutrients, flavor, color, and texture by providing precise temperature control and minimizing the risk of overheating
- Increases energy efficiency by operating at nearly 100% thermal efficiency, reducing energy costs and lowering the facility’s carbon footprint
- Enhances food safety by providing precise, even heating during pasteurization, reducing contamination risks, and meeting safety regulations
- Offers scalability and flexibility, quickly adjusting to different heating profiles for various fruits and vegetables, enabling seamless transitions between product lines
- Reduces maintenance needs and downtime with minimal surfaces prone to fouling, ensuring smoother operations and extending equipment lifespan
- Features a compact design that integrates easily into existing processing lines, optimizing space without requiring major modifications
- Reduces waste through precise and uniform heating, improving yield and supporting sustainability efforts by minimizing discarded batches and lowering energy consumption
Solaris®
Perfect for viscous slurries, the Solaris® heater features an optimized straight-through design and low shear flow. It is also perfect for heavy slurries with medium consistency or higher solid contents. The flow diffuser injects steam across the entire cross-section to ensure thorough mixing and a uniform temperature profile, even at a high volume and flow rate.
