heat exchanger by the product and to ensure thorough heating of the product to the required temperature . Importantly , once the unit has reached the required temperature , the heating medium is only required to maintain the temperature as the heat is not lost between processing batches . This continuous processing saves large amounts of energy compared to a batch approach .
The same is also true of the equally important cooling process , which must be conducted in a timely manner . In fact , this cooling allows for the use of heat generation , where the heat removed by the cooling process is not lost but can be returned to the start to pre-heat the product , so that less energy ( for example steam ) is required for

heating . Further economic savings are also achieved by reducing the need to fill and empty separate cooking vessels , and the fact that cleaning-in-place ( CIP ) can be performed when required , rather than simply between each ( smaller ) batch .
HRS have provided clients with continuous processing solutions to replace batch-cooking and cooling systems . One Coloradobased manufacturer of sauces and soups replaced their batchbased system with a continuous process based on a number of HRS products in order to increase their manufacturing capacity to meet increasing demand .
HRS complete systems not only include the HRS R Series and Unicus Series scraped surface heat exchangers for cooking and then cooling the product , but also transfer pumps , balance tanks , other heat exchangers for pre-heating and pre-cooling , and auxiliary equipment such as CIP systems and steam-powered hot water sets . Such systems are designed to have simple intuitive controls and to occupy the smallest possible footprint in order to fit within existing production facilities .
