Stainless Steel Heating & Cooling Vessels

Fabdec designs and manufactures bespoke stainless steel heating and cooling vessels for food, beverage, pharmaceutical, cosmetic and chemical processing applications. Each vessel is engineered around the product, batch volume and required temperature range.

Heat transfer surfaces can be incorporated into the vessel body or installed internally. Available options include conventional jackets, dimple jackets, pillow plates and internal coils, alongside insulation, instrumentation and automated temperature controls.

Final specifications are confirmed during the design stage based on the product, batch volume, operating temperatures, heating or cooling media, process time and installation requirements.

Why Choose Fabdec Heating & Cooling Vessels?

Fabdec heating and cooling vessels are designed around the required process duty rather than selected from a fixed product range. This allows the vessel geometry and heat-transfer surface to be matched to the product and production environment.

Our in-house pillow plate manufacturing capability enables efficient heat-transfer surfaces to be integrated directly into bespoke vessels. Conventional jackets and internal coils are also available where they better suit the application.

Insulation, agitation, instrumentation and automated controls can be incorporated into the complete vessel design. This creates a coordinated system for reliable temperature control and repeatable processing.
