III. Core Technologies & Design Features
-
Gentle Heat Exchange for Optimum Product QualityThe special design of the Terlotherm® ensures an efficient heat exchange whilst maintaining optimum product quality.
-
Why Choose a Terlotherm® Scraped Surface Heat Exchanger?Many prepared foods and other products prevent optimal heat transfer because of their consistency. For example, food containing large particles, viscous, sticky and crystalline products can quickly block or foul certain types of heat exchangers.Scraped surface heat exchangers incorporate special design features which make them ideal for heating and cooling products that impair heat transfer.
-
Vertical Concentric Cylinder DesignThe Terlotherm® is a vertical scraped surface heat exchanger with two concentric heat exchange cylinders to provide optimum heat transfer. The 50mm-wide product area (space between the cylinder walls) ensures even very highly viscous products and products with particles are processed through the Terlotherm® without any issue. This makes the Terlotherm® ideal for many applications.
-
Low Pressure & Low RPM OperationThe Terlotherm® operates utilising low pressures and a low rpm, while maintaining the same tip speeds of the scraper blades as other units that run at much higher rpm and pressures. This is due to our unique design of the double wall cylinder. This is a key advantage for very sensitive or complex products that can be easily damaged with too much pressure or an rpm which is too high.The combination of low pressures and rpm, combined with the robust design of the Terlotherm®, ensures minimal wear and long uptime. This results in a low cost of ownership.
-
Continuous Gentle Product HandlingAs the product is pumped through the SSHE cylinder, an even temperature distribution is ensured by a rotor and blade assembly, which continuously and gently blends the product, while simultaneously removing it from the heat transfer surface. The scraping effect also prevents the product from burning or freezing to the wall.
IV. Key Production Advantages
- Optimum heat exchange due to double heat-exchanging walls
- Can handle particles up to 1 inch
- Easy access for inspection and scraper replacement via the top lid
- Gentle product handling due to special design
- Approved with USDA, U-Stamp, PED and ASME codes
- Easy dismantling of both inner and outer cylinder for refurbishment
- One mechanical seal means low spare-parts costs
- Can be CIP cleaned and SIP sterilised
- Wide product range ensures only one unit needed for most processes
V. Modules & System Integration
- From a single machine for heating or cooling with local automation, up to a complete pasteurisation system, ProXES is your reliable partner.
- An increasing amount of food manufacturers are preferring the Terlotherm® as a turn-key module or system beyond using it only as a component. Whether it is a simple stand-alone machine for heating or cooling with local automation, or a complex pasteurisation/holding/cooling automation controlled via a central automation system in the factory. ProXES can design such a turn-key solution in a great variety of configurations.

VI. Terlotherm® Scrapers and Gaskets
The scraper blades and the seals are made out of a high quality X-ray and metal-detectable material, which is tasteless, non-toxic and contains no undesirable reinforcing material such as glass fibres, etc. The chemical resistance is very high, whereas the water absorption is extremely low. Bacteriologically, this synthetic
