ANIMAL FAT
Animal fat processing involves complex thermal steps such as rendering, separation, and refining. The fluids are viscous, often contaminated with solids, and require precise temperature control to ensure product quality and process stability.

The main challenges in this sector
The main challenges in this sector
Highly viscous fluids with solid particles
Melted fats are thick and prone to fouling. Heat exchangers must offer high turbulence, anti-clogging geometry, and allow easy cleaning.
Critical thermal precision
Fat processing demands narrow temperature windows to avoid product degradation or incomplete separation. Accurate and stable heat transfer is crucial.
Fouling and hygiene concerns
Residual organic matter increases the risk of fouling and microbial growth. Equipment must be sanitary by design and allow fast, reliable cleaning.
Energy recovery from hot process streams
Animal fat plants generate high-temperature waste that can be recovered to reduce energy use in preheating or rendering stages.
Our involvement in the sector
Nexson’s welded plate heat exchangers are built to handle the thermal demands and hygiene requirements of animal fat processing. From rendering to refining, our solutions improve thermal efficiency, reliability, and cleanability.
Thermal reliability for dense and hygienic flows
Welded construction for leak-free sanitation
Our fully welded units eliminate gasket failure and support complete cleaning in place, ensuring hygienic operation and zero cross contamination.
Efficient heating and cooling of viscous fats
Wide channel designs and turbulence optimization allow uniform temperature control of dense fluids with minimal fouling.
Robust materials for harsh process conditions
Exchangers are built in stainless steel or alloy grades to withstand corrosive residues, cleaning chemicals, and thermal cycling.
Designed for tropical and aggressive media
Built with corrosion resistant stainless steel and robust frames, our exchangers are ideal for humid and aggressive environments found in palm oil mills.
