Gasketed plate heat exchanger for hygienic applications
Achieve precise temperature control for sensitive products with a modular heat exchanger, ensuring superior hygienic standards and extended operational times, making it ideal for maintaining the integrity and quality of your delicate food and beverage products.
Transfers and Regulates Heat for Hygienic Liquid Processing
The Alfa Laval FrontLine Gasketed Plate Heat Exchanger is crafted for high hygiene demands in the food, dairy, and beverage industries. It stands out for its flexible design, enabling easy scaling and modification, essential for evolving production needs. Featuring unique glue-free, FDA-compliant gaskets, it ensures long service life and superior cleanability, crucial for maintaining strict hygienic standards. The equipment uses a counter-current flow, along with chevron-patterned plates, to enhance heat transfer efficiency while minimizing pressure drop, ideal for pasteurizing sensitive products like yoghurt drinks, craft beers, and fruit juices with fibers. It supports multi-section use, such as pasteurization, with interchangeable connection plate corners for seamless integration into existing lines. Capable of continuous, high-speed operations, it minimizes energy consumption due to optimized motor control. Compliance with stringent safety guidelines and hygienic requirements ensures reliability, while the easy-to-disassemble frame facilitates quick inspection and maintenance.
