Groen DR Series Scraped Surface Heat Exchanger / Evaporator is designed to heat, cool, or concentrate wide variety of products, including highly viscous or heat sensitive products such as caramel. The DR Series achieves extremely high heat transfer rates by incorporating jackets on both the inner and outer walls of a narrow product annulus. This dual-jacketed design provides twice the heat transfer area of conventional scraped surface heat exchangers of the same size. During operation, the inner and outer wall of the product annulus are continuously scraped by rotor mounted blades, which prevents sticking or product scorching. These scraper blades also provide even heat transfer and homogeneity of product during continuous processing batch runs. The Model DR is sized by height and diameter to your output requirements and concentration needs of the product. See the table below for some of the available sizes and their effective heat transfer area. Sized To Your Production Requirements:
