Hygienic plate heat exchanger

Optimize temperature control for liquid processing with precision-engineered heat exchangers, ensuring consistent quality and efficiency in your operations.

Regulates Temperature for Efficient Process Control

Unison’s diverse range of heat exchangers, including offerings from market leaders like API Heat Transfer and Alfa Laval, are engineered to optimize thermal management in various industries. These exchangers use innovative plate and shell designs to ensure efficient temperature regulation for liquid products such as milk, beer, and chemical solutions.

Designed to handle continuous and automated operations, they seamlessly integrate into existing production lines, supporting processes like heating, cooling, and separation. With options for hygienic and non-hygienic applications, these exchangers are suited for dairy, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, and oil and gas sectors.

Notable for their energy efficiency, these units feature variable-speed motor optimization, reducing energy consumption significantly. Built from high-grade materials like stainless steel, they offer excellent corrosion resistance, making them durable even under harsh operating conditions. Compliance with industry standards is assured, backing their application in sensitive environments.

Equipped with automatic control and monitoring systems, and offering flexible configuration possibilities, Unison’s exchangers support various customization needs, ensuring optimal performance for specific operational requirements. Their clean-in-place (CIP) systems facilitate quick maintenance, minimizing downtime and ensuring high operational uptime.
