MUELLER® FALLING FILM CHILLERS ARE DESIGNED TO COOL ANY FLUID TO WITHIN 2°F OF ITS FREEZE POINT. The primary application for Mueller’s falling film chiller is to cool food-grade liquids that will become an ingredient in a food product, or that will come into contact with a food product. Other applications include cooling fluids that have an initial temperature of more than 80°F. This task cannot be accomplished in most conventional chillers.

The Chilling Solution To qualify as a food-grade chiller, the chiller must meet USDA and FDA requirements. The following are a few important issues to consider: ♦ An acceptable material for construction must be chosen. ♦ All product contact surfaces shall be visible for inspection. ♦ All product contact surfaces shall be smooth and free of pits, crevices, and scale. ♦ The product zone shall be free of recesses, open seams, and gaps. ♦ All internal corners or angles in the product zone shall have a smooth and continuous radius of V4" or greater. ♦ Equipment shall be capable of draining all...

Standard Option Concept The falling film chiller product was designed around the standard option concept to enable us to improve quotation lead time, delivery time, and lower cost. This concept has allowed us to pre-design the entire product line once, which eliminates the unnecessary cost of re-engineering a custom product for each order. By taking the time to evaluate the needs of all of our different customers, we were able to design all of the needed options. This also makes it unnecessary for our customers to pay for something on their chiller they do not need. These two advantages...
