Corrosion-resistant shell and tube heat exchangers for pharmaceuticals

Ensure efficient thermal management in high-purity production environments with robust, corrosion-resistant heat exchangers designed for enhanced heat transfer in critical cooling, evaporation, and condensation processes.

Facilitates Corrosion-Resistant Heat Transfer and Condensation

The QVF SUPRA Shell and Tube Heat Exchangers by De Dietrich Process Systems are designed for demanding applications in pharmaceutical and specialty chemical industries. These exchangers excel in managing corrosion-resistant heat transfer through materials like borosilicate glass 3.3 and SiC. They are engineered for processes such as condensation, cooling, and evaporation, making them ideal for producing APIs, specialty polymers, and natural extracts. With nominal diameters ranging from DN80 to DN300 and heat exchange surfaces from 0.3m² to 27m², these systems accommodate varied capacities. Modular and custom-engineered designs ensure seamless integration into existing production lines. The exchangers are compliant with GMP and other international safety standards, utilizing FDA-certified PTFE components to prevent cross-contamination and ensure long-term durability. Maintenance is streamlined via a PTFE tube plate that simplifies servicing and component replacement.
