  • Multi-Tube - All Series
  • Ammonia Cooler
  • Torpedo™
  • Skidded Pasteurization System

Feldmeier's smooth tube Heat Exchangers are used for any liquid product with or without particulates and are found throughout the world in the dairy, food, beverage, egg processing and pharmecutical industries. Feldmeier was the originator of the concept of sanitary tubular heaters, regenerators, and coolers being cleaned-in-place. The Triple Tube™ was the first Fluid Milk HTST Pasteurizer to be approved by USPHS and the New York City Health Department for CIP with no disassembly required. Triple Tubes™ track record is unsurpassed throughout the world.

The Triple Tubes™ and Double Tubes have removable tubes. Should a pin hole develop, the tubes can be pulled from either end and can be welded or replaced. The replacement tube is standard - not wrinkled, puckered, corrugated, spiral or welded to the next one so that replacement tubes are not "special" and therefore not costly. Removable tubes make inspections possible and easy and repairs inexpensive.

Teflon seals are used throughout. No rubber or rubber-like gaskets are used. These absorb moisture and harbor bacteria. Teflon is as inert as the surrounding stainless steel. If left undisturbed Teflon seals will last forever. Teflon replacement seals are stock items at the factory and if needed can be sent overnight.

Smooth tubes allow predictable and constant velocities. As easy to clean as any other tube in the plant. With smooth tubes there are no interruptions to cause excessive pressure drops,
 

therefore the pressure drops in a Feldmeier Unit are lower than competitors. This permits fewer parallel passes, which result in more positive CIP cleaning and also lowers the volume requirements for the heating and cooling medium.

When a tube is corrugated, wrinkled, heavily dimpled or spiraled the obstruction causes a high pressure drop so the flow must be diverted to another parallel pass or

several parallel passes. Each pass requires a certain volume of heating or cooling medium to affect reasonable velocity.


All units are fabricated to the your specifications and assembled by qualified technicians at our Syracuse factory.

Delivery times can be adjusted to meet your production schedules. Our engineers will design your Heat Exchanger to give optimum velocities for the product and the heating and cooling medium.

Tube combinations are from ½" OD to 8" OD in Triple Tube ™, Double Tube, and Multi-Tube design. Units can be designed to use stainless steel tubing in C256MO, AL6XN and Titanium.

Product contact surfaces finish as smooth as 150 grit or 180 grit, 240 grit, 320 grit, or electropolished.

 
 
Bolted stainless steel flanged joints and Teflon gasketing provides tubular assembly that allows each tube to be dismantled separately. Tear-down of the unit is not required. Only the tube to be inspected needs to be removed without disturbing the remainder of the tube assembly.

Up to 85% Regeneration can be achieved in Feldmeier's Triple Tubes and Double Tubes. Regeneration will provide tremendous savings on utility bills.

Almost any liquid product can be pasteurized through a Feldmeier Heat Exchanger. Examples of previous products heated, cooled and/or pasteurized are: milk, cream, pulpy orange juice, grape mash, apple mash, liquid eggs. Spaghetti sauce (with or without particulates), mince meat, pickle relish, WFI etc. Range of temperatures go from 300°F heating to 32°F cooling.
