Pet Food Company Improved Temperature Control with Maintaining Viscosity for Extruder
A pet food manufacturing facility was having difficulty extruding product because uneven heating with their sparging system caused uneven product viscosity.They needed better control of the temperature of the product in the extruders.
They replaced the sparger with an Hydroheater® by Hydro-Thermal and immediately experienced better flow control and turn down capabilities.The batch consistency was greatly enhanced due to the exact temperature control of the direct steam heater. The company also saves energy and maintenance time due to the 30% more energy efficient steam cooker and self-cleaning design.
Operating Conditions:
| Flow rates | 2-13 gpm [.04 m3/m] |
| Inlet temperature |
65°F [18.3°C] |
| Outlet temperature | 200°F [93.3°C] |
| Steam pressure | 120 psig [8.2 bar] |
Unlike heat exchangers or spargers, the Hydroheater® is designed only for your process conditions and unique application. We need to know a few things about your conditions, such as temperature range, steam pressure, and flow rates to size a heater specifically for you. When you click on our application data sheet and fill in the information, we will contact you within one business day. After an initial conversation with a sales representative or one of our engineers, we will then provide you with a custom quote for the Hydroheater best suited for your process.
