Quotes - Engineering - SalesFood With Solids with Tube-in-Tube Heat Exchangers
Tube-in-tube heat exchangers excel at processing chunky, particulate, or piece-containing foods. Wide, unobstructed passages handle large solids without damage or blockage, while low shear and true counterflow preserve texture, flavor, and quality during heating, cooling, or pasteurization.
Typical Food With Solids Applications
- Sauces & Condiments: Chunky salsas, pasta sauces, marinara with vegetables, and relish with pieces.
- Fruit Preparations: Heating/cooling of pie fillings, jams, preserves, and fruit toppings with whole or large fruit pieces.
- Soups & Stews: Thermal processing of ready-to-eat soups, chowders, and broths with meat, vegetable, or pasta solids.
- Vegetable Products: Purees and sauces with skins, seeds, or chunks (tomato, pumpkin, pepper).
- Ready Meals: Gentle heating/cooling of particulate-containing entrées, baby food with pieces, and pet food chunks.
- Other: Yogurt/cream with fruit inclusions, liquid egg with solids, and textured plant-based products.

Advantages for Food With Solids
Tube-in-tube heat exchangers handle foods with solids gently and reliably. Large flow passages prevent blockage from chunks, pieces, seeds, or skins — eliminating the clogging and damage common in plate or scraped-surface exchangers.
Low shear and controlled velocity protect delicate particulates — fruit pieces, vegetable chunks, meat bits — preserving texture, appearance, and mouthfeel. True counterflow provides uniform heating/cooling and precise pasteurization hold without hot spots or over-processing.
Sanitary polished 316L construction meets strict 3-A/EHEDG/FDA hygiene standards with full drainability and effective CIP/SIP. No dead zones or narrow gaps reduce contamination risk and ensure cleanability.
Modular design fits existing lines; optional dimpled/corrugated tubes enhance heat transfer for viscous bases without restricting solids flow. Reduced fouling extends production runs.
Proven in chunky sauces, fruit preparations, soups, ready meals, and inclusion products — delivering higher quality, less product damage, better yield, faster changeovers, and consistent regulatory compliance.
