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.
Heating & Cooling Vessel Specification
| Specification | Available Options |
|---|---|
| Vessel Capacity | Designed to suit the required batch volume and process |
| Material | 304 or 316 stainless steel |
| Operating Conditions | Atmospheric, pressure-rated or vacuum operation |
| Temperature Duty | Heating, cooling or combined temperature control |
| Heat Transfer Surface | Conventional jacket, dimple jacket, pillow plate or internal coil |
| Heating Media | Hot water, steam, thermal fluid or application-specific media |
| Cooling Media | Chilled water, glycol or application-specific refrigerant circuits |
| Vessel Ends | Dished, conical or specialist end profiles |
| Insulation & Cladding | Stainless steel or alternative cladding to suit the installation |
| Agitation | Optional agitation selected around the product and heat-transfer duty |
| Internal Finish | Finish selected to suit hygiene and process requirements |
| Instrumentation | Temperature, pressure, level and flow monitoring options |
| Control System | Standalone temperature controls or integration with existing systems |
| Cleaning | CIP connections, spray balls and hygienic access options |
| Installation | Leg-mounted, skirt-mounted, floor-mounted or skid-mounted construction |
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.
