Currently, the existing plants for heating vegetable oil (in particular, with its deodorization) are two-circuit devices, usually with an intermediate heat exchanger. These units have in their composition a variety of special high-temperature pumps, coolants, heat exchangers, shut-off valves. They are cumbersome, complex in construction and operation. They require a special attention of the staff. Also, the presence of an intermediate heat exchanger reduces the overall efficiency of the installation..

Scheme of existing plants for heating vegetable oil:

In 2013, our company developed the first unique high-temperature induction electric heater for direct heating of vegetable oil. Such specialized equipment is not offered anywhere in the world.
In the following years, the design of the heater was processed and perfected in close contact with experts of creameries. As a result of the accumulation of operating experience, the improvement of the heater in 2015, a completely new design was created, which took into account all the nuances associated with heating such a specific product as vegetable oil.
At the moment, there is a line of induction heaters for direct heating of vegetable oil in 100 kW with a three-phase 380 V supply. These induction heaters are designed for different capacities of vegetable oil plants and excellently showed themselves during long-term operation.

Scheme of using induction heaters for direct heating of vegetable oil:

The induction electric heater for direct heating of vegetable oil possesses all the properties inherent in conventional induction electric heaters: safety, reliability, efficiency (efficiency = 98%), small size, undemanding to the qualification of maintenance personnel. In this induction electric heater, it is possible to heat the vegetable oil to 350 °C. The heating element is made of stainless steel. The heater is simple, without unnecessary elements and does not require the use of special high-temperature coolants.

Advantages of the induction electric heater of direct heating of vegetable oil in comparison with other existing constructions are obvious.
