Small Scale Ohmic Heater
The Ohmic Heater has been designed to allow as wide a range of product samples to be heated in the laboratory quickly and evenly.
A completely mobile unit that requires only a water supply and electrical supply which makes the development of new recipes in the laboratory so easy.
After processing a full CIP can be carried out without the need for connecting external pumps or pipelines. The CIP fluid is heated using the Tube in Tube section with the built in hot water recirculator.
Features
･Fast and even heating of sample
･Variable frequency

･Designed for simple operation with separate heating unit for CIP
･Mobile and can be set up within minutes
･High viscosity samples with large particles without burning
･Electrically heated sample without energy loss
･Temperatures up to 135°C @ 16LPH
･Cooling section using Tube in Tube
･Heating of samples with electrical conductivity more than 1% Salt water
･Low frequency for some vegetables e.g. Radish
･Higher frequency for products such as minced fish
･Conforms to the latest European safety standards and carries the CE mark
･Only requires a water and electrical connection
Typical Product Range Produced Using the P2K System
Jams, Vegetable juices/sauces, Flour paste, Minced fish, Meat sauce, Fruit sauce, Purees, etc.
Application Range
Initial formulation/recipe development, shelf life tests, flavour screening, colour evaluation, stability of emulsifier/stabiliser systems, preparation of samples for customer presentations.
Controls
The Ohmic heater is with full instrumentation and controls for the varying of the frequency and voltage.
All temperatures and pressures are easily read on the control panel fascia.
Operation
Sample is added to the hopper and then pumped through the heating section where the operator can vary the voltage and the frequency.
There are 4 heating sections and depending on sample to be processed each section can be isolated by turning off the electrode switch.
The temperature is controlled at the exit of the heating section and then the product enters the Tube in Tube cooling section before exiting through the outlet.
The system pressure is controlled by a back pressure valve situated at the exit of the cooling section.
Service Connections
Only an electrical supply and mains water connection / drain is required.
