Pet Food Processing With A Direct Injection Steam Heater
Direct Steam Injection is a perfect solution for producing instant hot water for pet food processing. In a short footprint/pipe lay length, the Komax Direct Injection Steam Heater, installed with the Equalizer Mixing Module, allows direct contact of water and steam to produce instant hot water at just a few pipe diameters downstream.
Direct Injection Steam Heater for Pet Food Processing
When required, our double pipe heat exchanger installed with TA mixing elements allows injection of individual ingredients, and thorough mixing while keeping the final product at the desired temperature with condensate as your heating media.
The use of direct-injected steam in a Komax mixer provides efficient and complete mixing without losing the newly added heat. The consistently high temperatures help maintain ingredient integrity and reduce the risk of contamination by microorganisms that could potentially make a pet sick after eating improperly prepared food.
