Perfector® 150 - Scraped Surface Heat Exchangers
The Gerstenberg Schröder Perfector® 150 is a compact, medium-capacity, high-pressure scraped surface heat exchanger designed exclusively for the chilling of semi-liquid fillings such as shortening and soft table margarine. It provides high crystallization performance, minimal downtime, and easy maintenance.
Perfector® 150: High-Performance Crystallization System
Versatile Production for Fats & Oils
Designed for manufacturing consumer margarine, industrial margarine, shortening, low-fat spreads, and butter blends for semi-liquid filling, all with high product quality at low cost.
System Design and Refrigerant Options
Includes up to 6 chilling tubes and 4 independent cooling systems. Operates using ammonia or Freon, ensuring flexibility and robustness for varied production demands.
Function and Principles of Operation
Crystallization Process
Core crystallization occurs in a scraped surface heat exchanger (SSHE). The rotor system scrapers apply centrifugal force for efficient surface scraping—ensuring quality is maintained regardless of product consistency.
Break-Time Freezing Prevention
A built-in drop tank quickly removes liquid refrigerant from the cooling jacket during downtime, preventing freeze-ups and enabling prompt restart.
Technical Specifications
Production Capacity
Up to 15 tonnes per hour.
