TENDER BLEND
COOLER/HEATER
Continuous Heating & Cooling for Consistent Product Control
Scott Equipment’s Tender Blend Cooler/Heater combines gentle continuous mixing with controlled heating or cooling. The dimple-jacketed vessel uses thermal media to transfer heat through the mixer wall while dual paddle shafts continuously move material through the system.
Designed for powders, granules, feed ingredients, chemicals, minerals, polymers, and other bulk solids, the Tender Blend helps maintain consistent product temperature and quality while simplifying your processing line.

HOW THE TENDER BLEND COOLER/HEATER WORKS
Material Enters
Bulk material continuously enters the horizontal chamber at a controlled feed rate.
Dual Paddle Shafts Mix & Convey
The dual paddle shafts gently mix and move material through the machine, helping maintain product consistency and integrity.
Product is heated or cooled
Steam, hot oil, glycol, chilled water, or another thermal fluid circultes throug the dimple jacket. Heat transfers through the vessel wall to indirectly heat or cool the product.
Conditioned Material Discharges
Material continuously exits the machine at the end of the process, ready for downstream processing, storage, or packaging.
Key Features
Dimple Jacketed Design
Provides an efficient heat-transfer surface for indirect heating or cooling during continuous processing.
Dual Paddle Shafts
Gently mix and convey material through the vessel while helping maintain consistent product exposure to the heat-transfer surface.
Heating & Cooling Options
Configure the system for steam, thermal fluid, glycol, chilled water, or other process-specific media. Scott currently lists steam, thermal fluid, and chilled water in its technical specifications.

Continuous Operation
Designed to condition material as part of a continuous production process rather than processing individual batches.
Carbon or Stainless Steel
Choose construction materials based on your product, sanitation requirements, and operating environment.

TENDER BLEND COOLER/HEATER FAQs
What is a continuous cooler/heater?
A continuous cooler/heater moves bulk material through a processing vessel while controlling product temperature. The material can be mixed and conveyed while it is indirectly heated or cooled.
How does the Tender Blend Cooler/Heater work?
Dual paddle shafts continuously mix and convey material through a horizontal jacketed trough. Thermal media circulates through the jacket to indirectly heat or cool the material.
Can the Tender Blend both heat and cool products?
Yes. The system can be configured for heating or cooling depending on the application and thermal media used.
What materials can be processed?
The Tender Blend Cooler/Heater can be designed for bulk materials used in food, animal nutrition, pet food, chemicals, fertilizer, minerals, biomass, polymers, and other industrial applications.
What is the difference between a continuous cooler/heater and a jacketed batch mixer?
A continuous cooler/heater processes material as it continuously moves through the equipment. A jacketed batch mixer processes a defined quantity of material before it is discharged.
Can I test my material before selecting a system?
Yes. Scott notes that the Tender Blend Cooler/Heater is available for testing in its Test Lab facility.
