An SPX Process Equipment Operation Scraped Surface Heat Exchangers •Votator II •4 X 120 •Votator II Extra Heavy Duty ® ®
For over seventy years, Votator® II Scraped Surface Heat Exchangers have been raising productivity, lowering production costs, and delivering more uniform end-products for a wide range of processing industries. 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.
How It Works Heating or Cooling Medium Product Shaft Scraper Blade Heat Transfer Tube Insulation Stainless Steel Cover Votator’s high efficiency and productivity results from a simple concept, heat or cool continuously moving product by providing a large heat transfer surface for a small amount of product in a confined space. Inside every Votator®, a mutator shaft rotates within a tube. The product passes through an annulus formed by the shaft and heat transfer tube (light yellow).
How Components Are Selected Votator ® Scraped Surface Heat Exchanger components are manufactured in a variety of configurations and materials so that each unit can be assembled to meet the specific processing requirement of each application. Seals – Years of experience led to development of the Votator ® rotary mechanical seals. Seals are designed for easy assembly and maintenance, and for clean operation.
Versatile In Applications Heat Sensitive Products – Delicate products which are adversely affected by prolonged exposure to heat are effectively processed in Votator ® II Scraped Surface Heat Exchangers. The scraper blades prevent product from remaining on the heat transfer surface by continuously removing and renewing the film. Because only a small amount of product is exposed to heat for just a short time, burn-on is minimized or eliminated.
Votator 4 x 120 Scraped Surface Heat Exchanger ® The 4 x 120 is a unique concentric heat exchanger designed for heating and cooling moderately viscous products. The heat transfer cylinder is 4 inches (102 mm) in diameter by 120 inches (3048 mm) long. FEATURES • All 316 stainless steel construction with high efficiency 0.083 stainless steel heat transfer tube or optional AL6XN tube • Available with 9 ft2 (0.
Votator II Scraped Surface Heat Exchanger ® The Votator® II is the newest design of scraped surface heat exchangers. It is a combination of design features from the proven Votator family, Thermutator Heat Exchangers, and new innovations resulting in a rugged, economical, and hygienic heat exchanger that can be used for heating and cooling products of a wide range of viscosities, including extremely thick and sticky products that require the cam action of the eccentric design.
Votator II Easy to Maintain ® 1 After any servicing or inspection, the Votator® II reassembles quickly and easily: simply insert the self-aligning spline end of the mutator shaft into the hollow shaft in the gear motor drive. There is no complex shaft coupling, no sensitive stub shaft alignment, or vulnerable drive belts to service. 1 2 Boltless V-Lock heads let you remove the shaft for inspection or routine maintenance in minutes..
Votator ll Extra Heavy Duty Scraped Surface Heat Exchanger ® The Votator® name carries with it the reputation of durability that is unequaled. The Extra Heavy Duty Votator® II is capable of heating and cooling products with viscosities in the 1,000,000 centipoise range.
Versatile Heat Transfer Systems Liquid / Steam Jacketing When using a liquid heat transfer medium, it is necessary to maintain a high flow rate for optimum efficiency. This is accomplished by using a centrifugal pump to maintain a constant media flow.
Votator Shortening & Margarine Systems ® Votator® technology pioneered continuous, controlled shortening and margarine production more than 70 years ago. All systems rely on the unique efficiency of Votator® Scraped Surface Heat Exchangers in achieving quick, consistent production of crystal nuclei.
