Terlet top driven vessels
Terlet produces process tanks and vessels with a content ranging from 50 to 50,000 litres. These tanks and vessels are
used for preparation processes during which products are mixed, stirred, cooled, heated or crystallized.
MMR VesselsMMR tank for the preparation of soups, sauces and ragoutsThe MMR is a heating/mixing tank that is used for soup
products requiring a combination of mixing and heating
operations. An optimum mix has to be attained, in which the
whole pieces, such as mushrooms, paprika, meat etc., are
kept intact as much as possible. The soup must be cooked
without causing it to burn and stick to the side.
MMR processing tank for the processing of fruit products The MMR is a heating/mixing tank that is used for fruit products
requiring a combination of processing operations. Firstly, an
optimum mixture has to be obtained. Secondly, the fruit pulp
must be heated without causing it to burn and stick to the side.
Processing tank for the dairy industry The “MMR” is a processing tank that is employed as a mixing
tank for mixing cream, fruit or herbs into curds and soft cheese.
Features and benefitsOptimum mixing action, even with thin soups containing •
vegetable and meat pieces
No damage to the product solids•
Good heat transfer, resulting in fast heating•
Fermentation tankCulture and yogurt tankTo allow milk to ferment in a tank in a low-spore environment
and stir effectively the inoculation after it has reached the
desired acidity degree. For culture preparation it is also
necessary to cool the starter so far as possible (with chilled
water) and checking the virulence of the culture.

Crystallization tank for the production of lactose To allow the lactose in concentrated whey to crystallize,
with continuous supersaturation of the lactose contained
in the solution during cooling.
Pre-crystallization tank for whey powderTo allow the lactose in concentrated whey to crystallize,
at a constant temperature for the preparation of non-
hygroscopic whey powder (“non-caking” whey powder).
Features and benefitsOptimum mixing action•
No damage to crystals•

Maximum cooling surface resulting in large, regular •
crystals
Hygienic design•
Horizontal vessels for the production of soups, sauces and fruitHorizontal tanks for the processing of soups and saucesThe horizontal cooking/mixing tanks are primarily
employed in the preparation of sauces and soups in
which there is a large variation in relative density. In other
words, the tendency for the components to sink or float.
Horizontal tanks for the processing of fruit productsA horizontal tank can be used for the preparation of all
kinds of fruit products. A great advantage is the very
efficient mixing of products that tend to sink to the bottom
or, conversely, float to the top.
Features and benefitsOptimum mixing action, even at minimum fill ratio•
Large heat exchanging surface•
No damage to the product because of the low •
revolving speed of the stirring mechanism

Vertical unit, which gives a large heat exchange
surface area, and gives a small foot print so valuable
production floor space area, is not required. Our
largest machine gives more than eight times the
surface area than conventional equipment.
One mechanical seal. All other types of equipment
have a minimum of two seals, and require a lot of time
to replace the seals. The seal in the Terlotherm can be
changed very quickly. No special hydraulic system is
required either as in other conventional equipment.
Simple inspection of the interior of the machine via the
top lid, which can be opened without tools. There is no
need to disturb seals or remove shafts.
For maintenance purposes the equipment is easily
accessible and simple to clean.
All product contacting parts are of FDA approved
material.
The machine is designed in such a way that the heat
exchange surfaces can easily be separated in case
either surface needs to be refinished or replaced.
The heat exchange surfaces are not provided with
potentially dangerous materials such as chromium or
other materials, but are of solid high quality stainless
steel, thus avoiding the danger or contamination of
the product.
The Terlotherm operates utilizing low pressures and
low rpm’s, but still maintains the same tip speeds of
the scraper blades as other units that run at much
higher rpm’s and pressures. This is due to our unique
design of the double wall cylinder. This is a key
advantage when you have very sensitive or complex
products that can be easily damaged with too much
pressure or too high rpm’s.
Due to the modular building design the heat
exchange capacity can be increased by replacing the
cylinders instead of the complete machine.
Efficient heat transfer is achieved by continuous
scraping or the entire heat exchange surface.
The Terlotherm has been approved with USDA,
U-Stamp and ASME codes.
Many prepared foods and other products prevent optimal heat transfer because of their consistency. For example, food
containing large particles, viscous, sticky and crystalline products can quickly block or foul certain types of heat exchangers.
Scraped surface heat exchangers incorporate special design features which make them ideal for heating and cooling
products that impair good heat transfer. As the product is pumped through the SSHE cylinder, even temperature distribution
is ensured by a rotor and blade assembly, which continually and gently blends the product, while simultaneously removing it
from the heat transfer surface.
The Terlotherm is a vertical scraped surface heat exchanger with two concentric heat exchange surfaces to provide
optimum heat transfer. This design, together with other features, offers the following advantages::

The scraperThe scraper blades are manufactured of a high
quality X-ray and metal detectable synthetic material,
which is tasteless, non-toxic and contains no
undesirable reinforcing material such as glass
fibers, etc. The chemical resistance is very high,
were as the water absorption is extremely low.
Bacteriologically this synthetic material is inert.

Thanks to the unique dry sterilisation filling process of the Van Meurs aseptic fillers.
The unique dry-sterilization filling process of the Van Meurs Bag-in-Box filling machines ensures that, ‘sterile’ remains sterile,
‘low-germ count’ remains low-germ count.
Thanks to the unique filling valve, it is possible to
vacuumize the bag before filling, fill the bag with product
and inject steam or an inert gas before closing the bag.
Combined with an advanced PLC control that controls all
pressures, temperatures, airflow, etc., the Van Meurs bag-
in-box filling machines will not cause re-infection
The excellent mechanical design of the Van Meurs
Bag-in-Box filling machines, supported by a very accurate
PLC control system, eliminates the need for chemicals,
and requires the very minimum use of steam. Due to
the controlled filling process, the shelf life of even the
most sensitive liquid foodstuffs can be extended to a
considerable extent.
AdvantagesLong life, thus lower spoilage losses•
Very low operational costs and simple operation•
Flexibility in use of different types of packing •
The possibility of working with all conventional bag-in-•
box brands and closure systems
Very accurate dosing system, which prevents spillage •

Sterile means sterile and germ free means germ free
A special filling valve which will be cleaned and sterilized during production (Cleaned In Process). Steam sterilization and, •
subsequently, drying of the filling valve with sterile air, after each filled bag. The filling valve is fully clean and dry when it
comes into contact with the spout of the next bag.
Vacuum purging of the bag before filling and after each filling to prevent product from dripping.•
Steam or inert gas injection in the bag as well as the bag closure once it has been filled. •
An extra aseptic dosing valve to ensure accurate filling and avoid water hammering.•
