Out of this philosophy has come a continuous flow of refinements and innovations.

Pick is the only DSI company to offer a true instantaneous Variable Flow design for multiple use points and on/off applications.
Pick`s BX Heater is truly innovative. Its open design allows slurry flow without obstruction, at negligible pressure drop. The BX Heater is used for industrial starch cooking and slurry heating.
Pick`s Fabricated Heaters allow for flow rates and pressures far above the norm - up to 25,000 GPM or 1,500 PSIG (5,700 M³/Hr or 105 BARG). They also conform to existing piping from 1/2 to 32 inches (DN 15 to DN 900) and greater, and in various materials of construction.
Pick was the first Direct Steam Injection company to introduce a 3A certified Sanitary Heater in 1984 and was also the first DSI company to offer a pilot scale version especially for R&D.
Over 25 years ago Pick expanded its scope of supply to include Packaged Systems including skid mounted pumps, instrumentation and other ancillary equipment coupled with the Pick Direct Steam Injection Heater to meet customer’s needs.
Now, through PCD (Pick Custom Design) you can combine Pick`s experience in heat transfer with their packaging capability to meet all your process heating needs - using various heat transfer methods.
