SACOME recently supplied an S-TFM-I type unit, the multi-tube configuration of SACOME’s sanitary line, for steam condensation for food use under vacuum conditions. Our end customer is one of the most important multinationals in the pharmaceutical sector, a world leader in its field.
The unit, installed vertically, has been designed to condense steam in a vacuum line. Due to the hygienic nature of the steam, it is processed on the tube side, unlike most condensation processes. In the thermal design, we took special care to select a suitable configuration to minimise the high process speeds in the steam, thereby avoiding the risk of mechanical and acoustic vibrations.
