The FT74XA is compact, mobile and easy to install. It has an integral pressurised hot water generator and requires only electricity and cooling water to operate making it ideal for confined spaces with limited services available in some laboratories.

Operation with either plate or tubular heat exchangers means a wide range of product viscosities can be handled. A progressive cavity feed pumpensuresthatflowratesareindependentofviscosity/backpressure changesandallowamaximumoperatingpressureof10bar.

Typicalprocessingflowratesare10-20L/hwithholdingtemperatures upto150°C.Atpasteurisationtemperaturesflowratesofupto60L/h areachievable.

Cleaning is in place (CIP) utilises the feed pump in high flow rate mode and there is a centrifugal pump CIP option (FT74XA-52) which generates very high cleaning velocities to deal with products thatare particularly difficult to clean.

The system is well instrumented for both process and services with all sensors displayed on the touchscreen and recorded values can be seen graphically and saved to USB datastick for further analysis.
