In-line Continuous Processing System

Manufacturer: DCN

In-line Continuous Processing System

Single-pass in-line system using up to four Jet Cook units in sequence to replace heat exchangers for beverages, baby food, pet food and condensed milk.

Key features

  • Up to 4 individually controlled Jet Cook units in sequence
  • No burn-on: runs for many hours between cleans
  • Delta T of 100°C in less than 2 m of pipework
  • Flow rates above 20,000 l/h
  • Much less residual product and waste than heat exchangers
  • Smaller footprint

Description

The DCN In-line Continuous Processing System provides uninterrupted production for high-volume liquid products such as beverages, baby food, wet pet food, condensed milk, and sports and health drinks.

How it works

The system replaces traditional heat exchangers by combining up to four JET COOK units in sequence. Each unit is controlled individually to add the heat and shear needed for the required finished product.

Because the single-pass system does not suffer from burn-on, it can run for many hours without cleaning. A temperature rise (delta T) of 100°C is achieved in less than 2 metres of pipe at flow rates above 20,000 l/h, so pipework is much shorter, footprint is smaller and less product is wasted.

Reference installation

In one installation a single system replaced 10 metres of heat exchangers: residual product left in the pipework after processing fell to less than 5 kg, compared with 150 kg in the previous heat exchanger.

Systems of this type produce condensed milk, sauces and maheu in the Middle East, Asia and Africa, and a large wet pet food line has been installed in the UK. The system won Top Futuristic Technology at the Manufacturing Excellence Awards in Dubai.
