Scraped Surface Heat Exchangers Votator® II & Votator® II Extra Heavy Duty

For over eighty years, Votator® II Scraped Surface Heat Exchangers have been raising productivity, lowering production costs, and delivering more uniform end-products for a wide range of processing industries. 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® II Scraped Surface Heat exchangers continue to replace many slow, inefficient batching operations with more uniform, controllable, and repeatable continuous...

Votator® II Scraped Surface Heat Exchangers can be employed in the continuous, closed processing of virtually any pumpable fluid or slurry involving: Votator® II Extra Heavy Duty The Votator® name carries with it the reputation of durability that is unequaled. The Extra Heavy Duty Votator® II is capable of heating and cooling products with viscosities in the 1,000,000 centipoise range. The units have high torque 17-4 PH stainless steel drive spline, can be equipped with direct drives with up to 30 Hp (22Kw) and are available with concentric, eccentric or oval heat transfer tubes to provide optimum...

Theory of Operation Votator’s high efficiency and productivity results from a simple concept, heat or cool continuously moving product by providing a large heat transfer surface for a small amount of product in a confined space. Inside every Votator®, a mutator shaft rotates within a tube. The product passes through an annulus formed by the shaft and heat transfer tube (light yellow). Heating or cooling medium flows in a jacket (orange). The unit is CONCE NTR IC insulated (pink) to minimize energy loss and protect personnel. A stainless For most applications the shaft is mounted steel cover protects...

Product Specifications Votator® Scraped Surface Heat Exchanger components are manufactured in a variety of configurations and materials so that each unit can be assembled to meet the specific processing requirement of each application. All pressure elements are designed in accordance with the latest ASME code requirements and can be CE-PED certified. • Drives From 7½ to 20 HP (5.6 to 15 Kw) • Wide range of output speeds • hrome-plated nickel or carbon steel, and 316 stainless steel heat transfer tubes specially designed for enhanced heat transfer C • Stainless steel or plastic blades, including...

SCRAPE R B LAD E S Votator® scraper blades are arranged on the shaft in staggered rows. The blades are held on the Votator® Scraped Surface Heat Exchanger shaft by strong, durable, specially designed “universal pins,” which are welded to the shaft. There are no threaded areas to cause product build-up. These pins allow quick, easy blade removal and replacement. A variety of blade materials are available, including new metal-detectable plastic blades. S EALS The Votator II mechanical seals were redesigned in 2012 for easy assembly and maintenance, and for reliable operation. Replaceable seal faces...

Additional Technical Data Votator® II Easy to Maintain After any servicing or inspection, the Votator® II reassembles quickly and easily: simply insert the self-aligning spline end of the mutator shaft into the hollow shaft in the gear motor drive. There is no complex shaft coupling, no sensitive stub shaft alignment, or vulnerable drive belts to service. Boltless V-Lock heads let you remove the shaft for inspection or routine maintenance in minutes. Scraper blades are secured to the mutator shaft by the Votator® II universal mounting pins, and are easily and quickly removed and replaced. Rotating...

Additional Application Data Versatile In Applications Heat Sensitive Products – Delicate products which are adversely affected by prolonged exposure to heat are effectively processed in Votator® II Scraped Surface Heat Exchangers. The scraper blades prevent product from remaining on the heat transfer surface by continuously removing and renewing the film. Because only a small amount of product is exposed to heat for just a short time, burn-on is minimized or eliminated. Viscous Products – Votator® II Scraped Surface Heat Exchangers process viscous products far more efficiently than conventional...

Options and Accessories Versatile Heat Transfer Systems L I Q U I D / S T E A M J AC K E T I N G When using a liquid heat transfer medium, it is necessary to maintain a high flow rate for optimum efficiency. This is accomplished by using a centrifugal pump to maintain a constant media flow. A controller monitors the product temperature out of the Votator® II heat exchanger and allows liquid media from the supply to be introduced into the loop as required. G R AV I T Y SYS T E M In the gravity refrigeration system, liquid refrigerant flows from a receiver in the compressor plant to a surge drum...

Votator® Shortening & Margarine Equipment Votator® technology pioneered continuous, controlled shortening and margarine production more than 80 years ago. The uniquely efficient Votator Scrape Surface Heat Exchanger achieves quick, consistent production of crystal nuculei. The super-cooled product is then plasticized for the desired crystal structure through controlled agitation and working in a Votator® agitated holding unit or it is held in a static rest unit to develop a more rigid structure. Votator® equipment can be furnished for various capacity requirements for bulk or bakery shortening,...
