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. Votator Scraped Surface Heat exchangers continue to replace many slow, inefficient batching operations with more uniform, controllable, and repeatable continuous processing. And, because of superior heat transfer performance and ability to handle a wide range of viscosities, they are still the clear choices over tubular or massive plate heat exchangers in viscous applications. One-Piece Mechanical Seal Hard Faces offer more durability for longer lifeFewer parts allow for easier maintenance PEEK™ Blades 100% PEEK™ - no filler or insert - provides longer life and no stress separationCan be used on any heat transfer tube, with any product at most process temperaturesFDA compliant Integral Gear Motor Drive Gear drive is directly coupled to the mutator shaft eliminating the need for a secondary drive shaft and bearing blockOverall length of heat exchanger is reduced by 20 - 25%Easy to maintain and self-aligningAvailable with up to 30 horsepower for handling the most viscous products Removable Heat Transfer Tube Votator tubes can be serviced without disturbing the utility piping or the drive motorFlange bolted to the jacket on the non-driven end allows for quick removalReliable double o-ring seal on each end eliminates the need for an expansion joint
