Sanitary Inline Steam Heater – CIP Certified

The Komax sanitary inline steam heater is made of stainless steel, polished (or electropolished), and designed for CIP process. The typical applications for the sanitary inline steam heater in the food and beverage industry are heating of water, CIP (clean in place) solutions, and other heavy viscous slurries such as tomato paste, starches, peanut butter, molasses, and purees.

Using the patented Equalizer™ Mixing Module, no motors/no moving parts are needed to perform the steam absorption, allowing for a continuous process with low to no maintenance or downtime. The Equalizer™ also encourages a lower level of noise pollution and vibrations throughout the line, making the Komax Sanitary inline steam heater provide less stress on the system compared to conventional steam heating devices.

Equalizer Mixing Module –

The Komax Equalizer® Mixing Module consists of six mixing chambers installed with Komax’ helical mixing elements that allow contacting of the steam and product to be heated (i.e. water). These elements will then divide and recombine the process flow to form multiple impingent blending zones that produce high turbulence and small steam bubble sizes for a more uniform temperature output with no vibration, no water hammer, and no excessive noise.
