Steam heaters
Inline steam heaters from Komax operate smoothly and have very low levels of noise and vibration. In addition, an open mixing structure guarantees free flow of the pulp stock and steam without plugging. Since the steam flow path is smooth, steam momentum is conserved. The stock flow is aided by this momentum, keeping the pressure drop low over a wide flow rate range. Komax |
