In making regional fruits available all over the globe, the fruit pulp processing industry relies on cooling and refrigeration systems to preserve the quality of the fruits after harvest. The aim here is to prolong the commercial life of these perishable goods by preventing microbial growth, water and nutrient loss, and reducing metabolic activity without causing chilling or freezing injuries.
Thermax for the fruit pulp industry
The issue with developing cold storage or controlled atmospheric storage requires is that it costs a lot. However, with the help of energy-efficient cooling and heating solutions like Thermax Chiller-Heater, it’s easy to reduce the temperature and increase the relative humidity in an enclosure without spending much money on energy and maintenance. Thermax cooling and heating solutions find applications in:
Asceptic filling
Homogenisation
Pulp pre-heating/heating in pasteurization
Pulp cooling in pasteurization
Partial pulp heating in sterilization
Pulp cooling in sterilization
Cleaning in place (CIP)
Pulp cooling in pasteurization
HVAC–humidity and temperature control for production area and comfort cooling
Cooling water for pulp cooling
Refrigeration for deep freezers in storage
Our offerings
Thermax Chiller-Heater / Absorption Chiller
Unlike conventional systems, Thermax Chiller-Heater and Vapour Absorption Chillers require only a negligible amount of energy to generate required cooling and heating utilities as our solutions depend more on waste heat sources and less on grid power. By recovering and repurposing the waste heat energy, Thermax VAMs can reduce the energy usage and carbon emission of your business. Our solutions can generate chilled water as low as -5 °C (with brine) and hot water as high as 90°C.
The chilled water from Thermax machines has the following benefits:
Product colour, flavours, and aroma can be retained.
Benefits of after filling to the cold storage.
The size and load on the cooling tower will be reduced, resulting in less operation and maintenance costs.
Evaporation heat losses are minimized.
Production time and yield will increase.
Thermax Evaporative Condenser
Evaporative Condenser is an ideal cooling solution for various refrigeration systems and climatic conditions. It’s an energy-efficient solution used in refrigeration for deep freezers in storage. It has the following unique features:
Compatible with all types of refrigeration compressors i.e. reciprocating, screw, scroll, rotary, and centrifugal.
Easy maintenance
Energy-efficient and reliable components
Quality construction
Thermax Closed Loop Cooling Tower
The Closed Loop Cooling Tower is suitable for lower approach temperatures and varied temperature difference applications. This energy-efficient solution provides cooling water for pulp cooling and has the following features:
Saving in operational cost compared to conventional systems
Easy maintenance
Energy-efficient and reliable components
Quality construction
Thermax One Degree Absorption Chiller
One Degree Absorption Chiller is an innovative glycol-free cooling system that produces chilled water at 1°C for refrigeration and process cooling in the fruit pulp industry. The pure chilled water generated by the absorption chiller can be directly used to cool the end product. This helps to reduce capital cost as well as operating cost by eliminating the secondary circulation system.
