FT74XA HTST/UHT System Didactic Equipment Vocational Training Equipment Food Machine Trainer
DESCRIPTION The FT74XA is compact, mobile and easy to install. It has an integral pressurised hot water generator and requires only electricity and cooling water to operate making it ideal for confined spaces with limited services available. Operation with either plate or tubular heat exchangers means a wide range of product viscosities can be handled. A progressive cavity feed pump ensures that flow rates are independent of viscosity/backpressure changes and allow a maximum operating pressure of 10 bar. Cleaning is in place (CIP) utilises the feed pump in high flow rate mode and there is a centrifugal pump CIP option (FT74XA-52) which generates very high cleaning velocities to deal with products that are particularly difficult to clean. Sterilisation (SIP) of the system is controlled from the touchscreen. System sterilisation time and temperature are defined and key temperature sensors are monitored to ensure the entire system satisfactorily completes the SIP cycle. Automatic pre-heat control (FT74XA-46) offers an independent hot water circuit and the product pre-heat temperature is set via the touchscreen. The system is well instrumented for both process and services with all sensors displayed on the touchscreen and recorded values can be seen graphically and saved to USB data stick for further analysis. The FT74XA base unit provides the heating and cooling services, controls and instrumentation to run the heat exchangers. The heat exchangers fit on top of the base unit and can be interchanged easily in just a few minutes All sensor values and set points are shown and input on the screen Values can be recorded and extracted at a later date. These data can be viewed in real time as a graph or a table
