Laser-welded dimple jacket integrated into process tanks
The complete process tank wall can be manufactured out of a laser-welded dimple plate and functions as dimple jacket. Most noteworthy there is no more homogeneous tempering than demonstrably formed by a complete enclosure of the product with an entire dimple heat transfer surface as heat exchanger dimple jacket. Moreover, even with contamination or a dirt layers on these dimple plates, the U-values of these heat transfer shells are only insignificantly influenced. In comparison to compact external thermal heat exchangers, favorable temperature differences result in a significantly better efficiency. At the same time, the products, especially beverages, are treated very gently. Laser-welded dimple jackets are mainly used as process tank plates such as for milk, beer and wine cooling tank plates.
The large dimple jacketed surface ensures safe process control with controlled homogeneous temperature control. Compared with double-jacket design or welded-on half-pipe coils, which occupy only about half of the surface, laser-welded dimple jacket plates are more effective and homogeneous, because they occupy the entire surface. Above all Laser-welded dimple plates have less volume and allow thinner tank walls, as well as lighter and over all cheaper tanks.
The dimple jacket design as tank cooling jacket allows the temperature control of products during other process steps. This saves a separate thermal process stage and often increases productivity and product quality.
Laser-welded dimple jacket method of operation
Individual design in measurement, shape and material allow flexible use in numerous industries and extend the normal standard. Single embossed laser-welded dimple jackets may be rolled to a cylindrical half-jacket and be clamped on to existing tanks retroactively or being welded to rings to build a tank.
