Margarine and Shortening Processing Equipment – IVARSON Convector A-Unit Systems

IVARSON margarine and shortening processing equipment is designed to deliver high-efficiency crystallization and thermal processing for margarine, shortening, reduced-fat spreads, and related yellow fat products. The Ivarson Convector A-unit scraped surface heat exchanger offers advanced engineering solutions that ensure consistent product structure, texture, and stability.

The system is equipped with direct expansion cooling technology, featuring highly improved ammonia evaporation efficiency. This results in more effective and controlled crystallization, optimizing product quality and processing performance. Discharge tanks are included to allow rapid evacuation of the cooling medium, ensuring stable operation and fast response during production cycles.

A unique design integrates the stainless steel bearing housing and mechanical seal into a single assembly, improving reliability and simplifying maintenance. Sealing surfaces are manufactured from silicone carbide and tungsten carbide materials, providing excellent wear resistance, long service life, and consistent sealing performance under demanding processing conditions.

The heavy-duty shafts of the Ivarson Convector A-unit are designed with internal circulation of tempered water. This feature ensures optimal temperature control during processing, supporting stable crystallization and uniform product characteristics.
