REMELTING SYSTEM IN THE SPOTLIGHT
S16
AMONG the products HRS Heat Exchangers will showcase at foodpro is its new I Series. It offers to de-pack, crush, and melt (remelt) frozen fruit juice for the manufacture of high quality not-from- concentrate (NFC) products.
The HRS I Series consists of two elements, the IC Series which de-packs and crushes frozen products from lined 200-litre drums, and the IM series which melts the frozen product.
The IC Series features a roller conveyor, which feeds individual drums into a tipper that empties them into the crusher. Here, a specially designed spiked roller crushes the solid ice into an icy slush, which is then transferred to the IM Series re-melting device.
Based on the tubular heat exchanger technology for which HRS is renowned, the IM Series raises the temperature of the juice from frozen to around 4°C
in 90 seconds.
From here, the cold liquid juice can be pumped to a bespoke holding tank, or straight into the next process step.
The I Series can handle up to 12,000 litres of frozen product per hour, and can also be combined with HRS’s existing range of fruit juice processing machinery for pasteurisation or filling. W: www.hrs- heatexchangers.com
