To achieve this, the system incorporates a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sacome.com\/intercambiador-multitubular-sanitario\/\">S-TFM-I multi-tube heat exchanger<\/a> from <b>SACOME<\/b>\u2019s sanitary range, featuring corrugated inner tubes and units with a nominal length of 3 meters, arranged on a common frame.<\/p>\n<p>As this was a capacity expansion of an existing facility, the project was constrained by the available space and the configuration of the inlet and outlet connections. Thanks to the <b>customized 3D design that SACOME develops for each project<\/b>, it was possible to define a solution tailored to the actual installation and developed in close collaboration with the client.<\/p>\n<p>In projects like this, thermal performance is only part of the challenge. The integration of the equipment into the plant, regulatory compliance, and adaptation to the actual conditions of the facility are equally critical for the solution to work. When the design truly fits the facility, capacity expansion ceases to be a problem and becomes a viable solution.<\/p>\n<p>When capacity changes, the solution must rise to the occasion.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-42802\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sacome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/DSC03326-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1439\" height=\"2560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sacome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/DSC03326-scaled.jpg 1439w, https:\/\/www.sacome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/DSC03326-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/www.sacome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/DSC03326-576x1024.jpg 576w, https:\/\/www.sacome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/DSC03326-768x1366.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sacome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/DSC03326-863x1536.jpg 863w, https:\/\/www.sacome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/DSC03326-1151x2048.jpg 1151w, https:\/\/www.sacome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/DSC03326-1080x1921.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1439px) 100vw, 1439px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-42808\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sacome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/DSC03338-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1439\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sacome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/DSC03338-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/www.sacome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/DSC03338-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.sacome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/DSC03338-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.sacome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/DSC03338-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sacome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/DSC03338-1536x863.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.sacome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/DSC03338-2048x1151.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.sacome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/DSC03338-1080x607.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-42814\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sacome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/DSC03337-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1439\" height=\"2560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sacome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/DSC03337-scaled.jpg 1439w, https:\/\/www.sacome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/DSC03337-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/www.sacome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/DSC03337-576x1024.jpg 576w, https:\/\/www.sacome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/DSC03337-768x1366.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sacome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/DSC03337-863x1536.jpg 863w, https:\/\/www.sacome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/DSC03337-1151x2048.jpg 1151w, https:\/\/www.sacome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/DSC03337-1080x1921.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1439px) 100vw, 1439px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SACOME has manufactured a cooling system for yogurt products designed to double the production capacity of a dairy plant in Kenya.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":42829,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[47],"tags":[90,91],"class_list":["post-42828","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-heat-exchanger","tag-sanitary"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sacome.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42828"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sacome.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sacome.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sacome.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sacome.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=42828"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.sacome.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42828\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":42842,"href":"https:\/\/www.sacome.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42828\/revisions\/42842"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sacome.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/42829"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sacome.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=42828"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sacome.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=42828"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sacome.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=42828"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
