Votator Scraped Surface Heat Exchangers

Votator II Scraped Surface Heat Exchanger

With Votator units, companies in the food, chemical, petroleum, pharmaceutical, and allied industries have reduced labor costs substantially, because their reliance on expensive artisan skills have been minimized or eliminated. Votator Scraped Surface Heat exchangers continue to replace many slow, inefficient batching operations with more uniform, controllable, and repeatable continuous processing. And, because of superior heat transfer performance and ability to handle a wide range of viscosities, they are still the clear choices over tubular or massive plate heat exchangers in viscous applications.

One-Piece Mechanical Seal

• Hard Faces offer more durability for longer life
• Fewer parts allow for easier maintenance

PEEK™ Blades

• 100% PEEK™ - no filler or insert - provides longer life and no stress separation
• Can be used on any heat transfer tube, with any product at most process temperatures
• FDA compliant

Integral Gear Motor Drive

• Gear drive is directly coupled to the mutator shaft eliminating the need for a secondary drive shaft and bearing block
• Overall length of heat exchanger is reduced by 20 - 25%
• Easy to maintain and self-aligning
• Available with up to 30 horsepower for handling the most viscous products

Removable Heat Transfer Tube

• Votator tubes can be serviced without disturbing the utility piping or the drive motor
• Flange bolted to the jacket on the non-driven end allows for quick removal
• Reliable double o-ring seal on each end eliminates the need for an expansion joint

Votator 4 X 120 Heat Exchanger

The patented Votator 4 x 120 is designed to deliver efficient performance for lower initial investment, as well as lower maintenance cost. The Votator 4 x 120 is a unique concentric scraped surface heat exchanger designed for heating and cooling moderately viscous products.
