A PERFITHERM Scraped Surface Heat Exchanger model 10 is ready for shipment.

The PFTM10 model provides 1.0m² of exchange surface. It will be used to crystallize various chemical compounds.

The PERFITHERM range goes from 0.5m2 to 7.0m2 and can be used on most of the applications with or without product pieces, performing a gentle handling and low pressure drops on a very small footprint.

We start 2021 supplying a Scraped Surface Thermal Processor for a major fruit preparations producer in Central Europe.
 
High quality product and gentle particle handling is a must, so unit is equipped with two PERFITHERM Scraped Surface Heat Exchangers (SSHE) granting a total exchange surface of 9m2. The PERFITHERM Thermal Processor has also the advantage of full product recover, from the admission to the discharge, by equipping it with PIG system for product push and recover.
 
Additionally, PERFINOX will supply a sterile filling station and a SIP station for containers, as well the fully integration with costumer process machinery. A smart and compact solution for high demand process on a very small footprint.

Our engineering team is glad to show once more our capabilities to adapt and fit the customer requirements.

From mixing to cooking and cooling, either in batch or inline, our PERFIPROCESS wide range of equipment allows a full integration for high demand applications using state of the art technology.

Smart and efficient automatic systems, developed for small human intervention, reduced product losses and low environmental impact.

Another major wine producer is changing the mindset and performing the step forward, by fully automate procedures and cleanings.

PERFINOX attended the challenge and will supply and install a fully automatic PERFICLEAN CIP Station, a fully automatic wine filtration system and new piping routes equipped with PIG recover system, for automatic feedings and transfers with virtually no product losses.

This will allow our customer to have replicable and controlled process cycles, faster product changes, small product losses and an environmental friendly installation.

Our engineering team is glad to show once more our capabilities to adapt and fit the customer requirements.

PERFINOX supply process machinery and turnkey solutions developed for smart and efficient automatic cleaning, provided by the hygienic design and long expertise in CIP Systems for the Food and Beverage Industries.

 "A year ago, it was unimaginable from a social and economic point of view that we would be dealing with a challenge so devastating as Covid-19 pandemic. The strategies outlined for 2020 had to be left and new ones had to be quickly put in action, demanding from businessmen and managers, a strong search for solutions to guarantee the sustainability of companies and successively of the economy in general.

At PERFINOX there is an inalienable responsibility for people, the health and safety of our team, being essential for the continuity of the company’s activity.

At the beginning of this pandemic appeared our greatest challenge, stopping all international projects (in several countries in Europe and in the United States of America), returning our collaborators back and refocusing them in Arouca with strategic projects for the future.

The use of lay-off mechanisms were immediately refused, we knew that we had to face problems with courage for not weaken our ability to respond to our customers or lower the motivation of our collaborators. Having so many collaborators at our facilities is unusual, which could have been a problem, but we have joined forces and redefined the entire 2020 strategy to ensure that jobs are maintained, and that future growth continues. An internal focus strategy, with the development of new projects and new ideas for the future resulting in four new equipment following our commitment to public safety and quality.

The development of the international market was one of our bets, resulting in the establishment of agency contracts for thirteen new countries. So PERFINOX is working on the ASME’s Conformity Assessment program. This means that the technologies in our PERFIPROCESS range will also comply with laws and regulations in nearly all U.S.A. states and Canadian provinces, giving confidence that relevant Quality Assurance processes, products and parts are safe, high-quality, reliable and consistent.

It took only 3 months to obtain these results and still the most important step from the company history, the development of the PERFIPROCESS Technology Center, a process room composed by the main machines from the wide range of PERFIPROCESS equipment. The center will be used as a “Showroom”, Research & Development Center for the PERFINOX Engineering team as well as for customers trials and scale up engineering.

To make customers confident with solutions and systems presented, offering the unique possibility to try different process setups at industrial scale and develop new ideas and custom processing concepts.

PERFINOX already had contingency plans duly structured for an eventual difficulty. This prior preparation certainly helped to have these great results and to be able to face the problems with courage, leading the way to a necessary change.

It is almost sure that the times ahead will not be the same at a social and economic level, if there is no political ability to meet the needs that companies need, everything can be questioned. Postponing solutions in time is not solving problems, creating false expectations for employees by giving them false feelings that everything will be solved is a serious problem of lack of vision. It will take years to get back to where we were before the pandemic, in some sectors we may never again reach the levels of excellence we lived.

We believe that soon we will have good news from the scientific community, because we are great warriors, with humility and common sense, all together, we will once again turn the corner. It is important to emphasize that for the scientific community achieve anything, it is necessary that everyone, without exception, realize the country never needed people as much it does now, so now is the time for a change in the awareness and principles of first-rate countries, not only in the obligation of rights, but also to assume values and responsibilities." - António Jorge Tavares, PERFINOX CEO at 13th edition Magazine Encontros AECA

The PERFITHERM Thermal Processor, the PERFIPROCESS solution for handling high viscous products.

The scraped surface heat exchanger provide a high exchange surface, gentle handling even with particles or whole pieces, low pressure drops, resulting in high efficiency processes.

Flow and holding times can be adjusted, enabling the system to be used for several types of products and distinct process requirements.
​
The hygienic design and state of the art technology deliver a high cleanable system using CIP and virtually no product losses.
 
There are no limits for process improvements.
