Product catalog summary

Overview of Schmidt Evaporators:
Schmidt is a leader in heat transfer technology, specializing in plate heat exchangers and evaporators. Their SIGMASTAR® rising-film plate evaporators are designed for challenging applications, such as viscous streams and liquids with suspended solids.

Key Features of SIGMASTAR Evaporators:

Patented pseudo-tube design for efficient evaporation.
Thermo-siphon principle for optimal product distribution.
Short residence time for gentle thermal treatment.
Low pressure losses and high heat transfer coefficients.
Flexible design for capacity adjustments.

Evaporation Systems:
Schmidt offers single and multiple effect evaporation systems, with options for thermal and mechanical vapor recompression to optimize energy consumption. Multiple effect systems reduce steam consumption and operating costs by reusing heat energy.

Aroma Recovery:
Advanced aroma recovery systems ensure superior flavor retention using distillation techniques and low temperatures.

Applications:

Food and Beverages: Systems for juices, purees, and aroma recovery.
Hydrolyzed Proteins: Efficient concentration with automatic control systems.
Organic Natural Products: Processing of various extracts and wastewater.
Fine Chemicals and Pharmaceuticals: Concentration of acids, bases, and other compounds.

Additional Products:
API Heat Transfer offers a range of heat exchangers, including fully welded, gasketed, and air-cooled models for various industrial applications.

Overview of Heat Exchangers:
The document also covers Brazed Plate Heat Exchangers and TEMA Shell and Tube models used in process or refrigeration applications.

Brazed Plate Heat Exchangers:
These are designed for specific applications, though detailed specifications are not provided.

TEMA Shell and Tube Heat Exchangers:
A variety of TEMA types are available, offering both pre-engineered and custom designs. They come in various sizes and materials, with shell diameters ranging from 6 inches to 60 inches, and comply with multiple codes, including ASME, TEMA, API, ABS, TUV, and PED.

Straight-Tube, Removable Bundle Exchangers:
Made from standard components, these exchangers feature a floating tube sheet for seal leak detection and easy maintenance. They are available in diameters from 3 inches to 42 inches and comply with ASME, API, TEMA, ABS, and other codes.

OptiDesign® Hubbed Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger:
These general-purpose exchangers are available in straight or U-tube configurations with fixed or removable tubesheets. They are designed to cool oil, water, compressed air, and other industrial fluids, with a variety of port configurations and materials available, and diameters ranging from 3 inches to 12 inches.
