What We Repair
RELIABLE REPAIRS FOR every MANUFACTURER
Over the last 50 years, we at General Engineering have gained the knowledge and experience needed to provide the best scraped surface heat exchanger rebuild services to industries whose products require this specialized equipment.
Scraped surface heat exchangers (also known as continuous freezers, cooker barrels, or SSHE) are specialized pieces of equipment meant to cool or heat extremely viscous or sticky products. They have many different uses in the dairy, food, cosmetic, & pharmaceutical industries, and we have serviced them all.
This equipment allows product to be heated or cooled uniformly by circulating freon, ammonia, steam, or water through the outer jacket while product flows through the inner tube continuously being agitated by scrapper blades and the inner shaft/dasher.
