Clean-in-place (CIP) and bottling lines always have enough hot water

A large beer producer needed to save energy, but also needed to ensure enough hot water at peak times to perform their CIP on bottle and canning lines. The CIP process runs several times per week to sanitize the bottling lines. In this process, hot water is mixed with a cleaning solution. They were using a heat exchanger that could not keep up with demand and temperatures varied widely. The heat exchanger also tended to scale and foul, costing precious maintenance time and increased costs.

A Hydroheater^® was installed to heat the water to exacting 185°F [86°C] temperatures with a solution for accurate cleaning. Steam from the boiler contains food grade chemicals which are no problem for the Hydroheater.

The company now experiences accurate temperature control for secure sanitation with no scaling issues and an added energy savings bonus. This company likes the direct steam injection systems so much that they continue to install them in other areas of their plant.

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.
