Pet Food Producer Eliminates Clogging and Fouling by Replacing Heat Exchanger with EZ Heater

This plant needed to replace their large shell and tube heat exchanger that supplied hot water to a tank and then out to a large recirculation system.

Scaling was a major issue on the heat exchanger as well as high energy usage. The plant also needed to make sure it had enough hot water at the right temperature for peak usage hours.

A 4-inch EZ Heater® three-way valve was installed which now supplies hot water on demand for their processing floor. This system supplies hot water instantaneously for hose stations, spray bars, spray balls in tanks and general wash-down needs.

The EZ Heater never clogs or fouls and only requires a once-a-year maintenance schedule. The company now saves energy and maintenance time. Their uptime has greatly increased and, as a result, so has their production.

Operating Conditions:

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.

Yes, I want to save energy and have more control using direct steam injection. Please complete the Application Data Sheet which helps us understand your process conditions such as fluid density, flow rates and temperature parameters.
