Food & Beverage filtered and bottled. Many of these stages require the ingredients or product to be heated or cooled and HRS were chosen to provide the necessary heat exchangers to provide hot water, clean-in-place( CIP) solutions, and product heating and cooling throughout the brewery. In particular the HRS cooker and thermaliser are an integral part of Bundaberg’ s Ginger Beer fermentation process, heating and cooling the wort as required. Both turnkey systems were supplied on process skids to facilitate installation and maintenance and are based around the proven HRS MI and MR Series of corrugated tube heat exchangers. The cooker system, which is designed to process up to 18.6 tonnes of product each hour, uses steam to raise the product temperature above 100 ° C. This is achieved in two stages using an HRS MR Series heat exchanger with direct heat recovery reusing the heat removed when the product is cooled after cooking. A final cooling stage using an HRS MI Series heat exchanger lowers the product temperature further, to ambient conditions. Thermalisation is a lower temperature alternative to pasteurisation, and the thermaliser supplied at Bundaberg Brewed Drinks uses two types of heat exchanger in different processes to provide sufficient capacity to treat 25.5 tonnes of product every hour. The skid-mounted solution uses both MI and MR Series heat exchangers to raise the product to the required temperatures using
HRS MI and MR Series both utilise the HRS Heat Exchangers’ corrugated tube design which maximises heat transfer and energy efficiency, while also reducing fouling.
