Hygienic heating, cooling and pasteurization duties built to meet sanitary process requirements.
Use cases
- Pasteurization and UHT treatment
- Beverage cooling and CIP
- Dairy heat recovery
- Brewery wort cooling
Recommended products
- Gasketed Plate Heat ExchangerHigh-efficiency plate-and-frame units with serviceable gaskets.
- Food Grade Heat ExchangerSanitary, hygienic plate units for food, dairy, beverage and pharma duties.
- Heat Exchanger Gaskets, Plates & Spare PartsPlate heat exchanger gaskets, replacement plates and frame accessories.
Typical operating conditions
- Process media: milk, juice, beer wort, CIP solutions, glycol, chilled water
- Temperature range: 2–140 °C (pasteurization / UHT on request)
- Design pressure: typically 6–16 barg
- Hygienic connections: DIN 11851, Tri-Clamp, SMS
Common engineering challenges
- Protein fouling and scaling on heated surfaces
- CIP compatibility and full drainability of the plate pack
- Cross-contamination risk between product and utility
- Traceability of food-contact materials
Recommended materials & construction
- AISI 316L plates with sanitary surface finish
- FDA / EC 1935-2004 compliant EPDM or NBR gaskets
- Optional 3-A hygienic execution on request
- Sanitary frame components with hygienic bolts and covers
Typical delivery scope
- Duty confirmation for pasteurization, cooling or CIP service
- Plate pattern and channel selection for low-fouling operation
- Material certificates 3.1 for wetted parts
- Factory acceptance test and hygienic documentation
