In high-temperature vegetable oil applications, the heat exchanger design makes all the difference.
One of the applications in which SACOME is an industry leader is the treatment of vegetable oils. For this type of service, SACOME offers the I-TFM-I industrial heat exchanger series, featuring single-pass tube design, and the I-TFMP-I series, featuring multi-pass tube design, both engineered to provide reliable operation and extend the time between maintenance and cleaning shutdowns compared to other solutions.
A recent example of these results is the purchase, by one of Spain’s leading groups in the snack food sector, of a new I-TFM-I model heat exchanger for heating vegetable oil up to 200 °C using thermal oil at 280 °C, with the aim of expanding its production capacity.
Thanks to the incorporation of SACOME’s corrugated tube technology, the unit is significantly more compact and efficient than an equivalent heat exchanger with smooth tubes. In this case, the technical department selected the HARD-type corrugated tube to optimize the design and adapt it to the specific operating conditions.
In this case, the improvement lies not only in the exchanger’s efficiency but also in a solution that helps maintain production continuity. Higher performance, with fewer interruptions.
