In corn, cassava, and wheat starch processing, starch slurry (typically at 20–40% concentration) requires preheating prior to gelatinization or cooling after enzymatic hydrolysis.Starch slurry exhibits high viscosity (up to 1,000–5,000 cP) and contains fine fibrous particles, which can easily accumulate and cause fouling or scorching on heat transfer surfaces.

Key Advantages of Pillow Plate Wide-Channel Heat Exchangers

·Wide channels prevent clogging.

·The smooth outer surface minimizes material adhesion and buildup.

·Uniform heat transfer prevents local overheating and dextrinization.
