High pressure gasketed plate heat exchangers for carbonated beverages

Facilitates High-Pressure Heat Transfer and Pasteurization

The M Line Gasketed Plate Heat Exchangers from Alfa Laval are engineered to handle challenging high-pressure tasks, ensuring optimal heat transfer in hygienic applications across the dairy, food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries. Their unique design includes a combination of customizable plates and FDA-compliant gaskets, making them particularly suitable for processes requiring up to 10 bar design pressure, such as pasteurization and cooling. These exchangers allow you to adapt to changing process conditions by adding or removing plates, thus optimizing for different thermal requirements. The chevron plate pattern and corrugated surfaces enhance thermal efficiency and turbulence, reducing fouling risks and maintaining consistent flow distribution. Integrated with a Cleaning-in-Place (CIP) system, they minimize downtime and upkeep effort. With options in materials and configurations, and compliance with food safety standards, Alfa Laval’s exchangers can be tailored to specific needs, supported by expert engineering advice to guarantee optimal line integration and performance.
