Crystallization

Overview

Controlled crystallization and cooling machines for margarine, bakery, chocolate and other vegetable oils, fats and emulsions.

Chemtech’s scrapped surface heat exchangers are tailored for precise control of product’s structure and texture, essential in emulsions like margarine, shortenings and also proteins production.

From scraped surface heat exchangers to pin workers and remelt units, each component ensures optimal cooling, mixing, and crystallization dynamics under hygienic and automated conditions.

The models

Chemtech
Fats & Proteins
PROCESSING
Chemetator Scraped Surface
Machine for the production and crystallisation of margarines and shortenings. From pilot plant scale to 20,000 kg/hour lines and with product pressure up to 150 bar, these machines are the most modern available in today’s marketplace. The systems are unique in that they are fully enclosed in hygienic cabinets making them extremely quiet. Ammonia, Freon or Carbon Dioxide can be used as direct refrigerants.
Chemtech
Fats & Proteins
PROCESSING
Continuous Remelt Systems
For continuous remelting of products returned from margarine, shortening and other fats production systems. The units include product pumps, tubular and/or plate heat exchangers and hot water generation systems.

PROCESSING
Pin Worker Unit
Pin worker units are used for plasticizing margarines and shortenings between or after cooling in Chemetator. Sizes available range from 35 litres to 200 litres per cylinder and the units are mounted in the same style of the Chemetators keeping sound levels extremely low as well as ensuring ease of maintenance.

PROCESSING
High Pressure Product Pump
A range of high pressure pumps for shortenings and margarine emulsions at rates of 100 to 20,000 kg/hour at pressures up to 200 bar. Pumps are skid mounted with pulsation dampers, pressure transmitter and integral pressure relief valves. Pump design is fully hygienic with stainless steel and ceramic product contact parts.
