Gasketed plate-and-frame heat exchangers for industrial applications

Transfers Heat for Efficient Thermal Management

The Gasketed Plate-and-Frame Heat Exchanger T21 from Alfa Laval is designed to maximize heat transfer efficiency across various industries including food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and energy. This exchanger leverages corrugated plate technology to optimize thermal management through large surface areas, enabling effective handling of aggressive fluids and fibrous media. Capable of supporting processes such as heating, cooling, condensation, and evaporation, it is instrumental in producing pasteurized milk, pharmaceutical ingredients, and high-fructose corn syrup among others.

This equipment demonstrates outstanding thermal efficiency with a compact design that minimizes space requirements and simplifies servicing. Its modular structure allows flexible integration into existing production lines, offering easy adaptation to changing duty requirements. Energy-efficient operation is a hallmark of the T21, reducing energy consumption through close temperature approach technology, which minimizes waste and emissions.

Constructed with robust materials tailored for aggressive environments, the T21 offers options in stainless steel and specialty alloys for superior corrosion resistance. It meets stringent compliance standards for hygienic applications, supporting GMP and FDA certifications, and is equipped with a Clean-In-Place (CIP) system to facilitate maintenance while minimizing downtime. Custom engineering support is available to tailor design features such as plate configurations and gasket materials, ensuring optimal performance for specific operational demands.
