Tetra Vertico®
Coiled tubular heat exchanger

Application

Maximizing versatility and efficiency

The Tetra Vertico coiled heat exchanger provides efficient
heating and cooling of low to high viscous and smooth to particulate products.

Highlights
•t Enables high capacity processing
of high viscous products
•t High heat transfer efficiency minimizes
system volumes
•t Gentle mechanical treatment ensures
excellent particle integrity up to ø 25 mm
•t Designed for high hygiene and low maintenance

Continuous processing of viscous products generates high
pressure with increased velocity. The pressure rating of
Tetra Vertico enables you to process higher capacities of high
viscous products, improving production efficiency and cutting
cost per litre. Higher product velocity also improves heat
transfer efficiency, minimizing heat surface area and system
volumes, optimizing CIP and minimizing product losses. The
coiled mono-tube unit – between 30 and 100 meters long – has
only one inlet and one outlet connection. This enables gentle
mechanical treatment and ensures excellent particle integrity
for particles of up to 25 millimetres in diameter. The unit is
designed for high hygiene and easy maintenance – with a floating end through the bottom flange – to prevent cracking
caused by thermal expansion.

Working principle
In the Tetra Vertico tubular heat exchanger, product flows
through a coil-shaped tube and media flows around the product tube to heat or cool the product. An additional feature of
the coiled design is that it creates a second flow pattern (the
Dean effect) at high velocity, which increases heat transfer
efficiency.
