As a leading manufacturer based in Qingdao, China, Qingdao Conqinphi Environmental Technology Group Co., Ltd. specializes in producing high-efficiency heat transfer solutions for the food and beverage industry. Our Corrugated Plate Heat Exchanger for Juice Concentration is engineered to meet the stringent requirements of thermal processing, offering superior heat transfer performance while maintaining product integrity. Made from premium 316L stainless steel with a plate thickness of just 0.5mm, this exchanger is designed to withstand temperatures up to 150°C, ensuring reliable operation in demanding juice concentration applications.
The unique corrugated plate pattern creates highly turbulent flow, significantly enhancing heat transfer coefficients and reducing fouling. This results in faster concentration cycles, lower energy consumption, and consistent product quality. Whether you are concentrating apple, orange, or tropical fruit juices, our heat exchanger provides the efficiency and hygiene your process demands.
Key Features & Technical Specifications
- Material: Fully constructed from 316L stainless steel – excellent corrosion resistance against acidic juice components and easy to clean (CIP compatible).
- Plate Thickness: 0.5mm – optimized for strength and thermal conductivity while minimizing weight and material cost.
- Max Operating Temperature: 150°C – suitable for high-temperature concentration processes such as evaporation and pasteurization.
- Corrugated Design: Herringbone or chevron pattern for maximum turbulence, high heat transfer coefficient (up to 6000 W/m²K), and self-cleaning effect.
- Modular Construction: Easy to add or remove plates to adjust capacity; gaskets are replaceable for extended service life.
- Compact Footprint: Space-saving design compared to shell-and-tube or tubular heat exchangers.
- Sanitary Compliance: Designed with smooth surfaces, no dead zones, and meets food-grade standards (HACCP principles).
- Pressure Range: Customizable; typical design pressure up to 1.0 MPa (10 bar) – available upon request.

Advantages for Juice Concentration
- High Thermal Efficiency: The corrugated plates increase surface area and turbulence, achieving up to 3-5 times higher heat transfer than traditional designs. This means faster concentration and lower energy bills.
- Gentle Product Treatment: Short residence time and minimal temperature gradient preserve the natural flavor, color, and nutrients of the juice.
- Easy Maintenance: The plate pack can be easily opened for inspection and cleaning; gaskets can be replaced without special tools.
- Hygienic Design: All wetted parts are 316L stainless steel with a smooth finish (Ra ≤ 0.5 μm), preventing bacterial growth and meeting food safety standards.
- Flexibility: The modular design allows you to adjust capacity by adding or removing plates. Ideal for seasonal production changes.
- Corrosion Resistance: 316L stainless steel resists pitting and crevice corrosion caused by citric acid, ascorbic acid, and other organic acids found in fruit juices.
Our heat exchangers are widely used in industries such as fruit juice processing, dairy, beverage, and pharmaceutical concentration. With a factory size of 10,000–30,000 square meters and a dedicated team of 201–300 employees, we have the capacity to deliver large-scale orders while maintaining strict quality control. Since our establishment in 2015, we have exported over US$10 million to US$50 million annually to markets across North America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Oceania.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is the typical lifespan of the plates in juice concentration service?
With proper cleaning and maintenance, 316L stainless steel plates can last 10–15 years or more. The 0.5mm thickness provides a good balance between durability and thermal performance. Regular inspection of gaskets is recommended every 2–3 years.
Q2: Can this heat exchanger handle high-viscosity juices like mango or banana puree?
Yes, but we recommend wider plate gaps and a larger port size. The corrugated design helps maintain turbulence even with viscous fluids. We can customize the plate pattern and gap according to your product's viscosity.
Q3: What gasket materials do you recommend for acidic juices?
EPDM is generally suitable for most fruit juices (pH 2.5–4.5). For higher temperature or aggressive chemicals, Viton (FKM) is available. NBR is not recommended for acidic environments. We can provide material compatibility data.
Q4: Is this heat exchanger suitable for CIP (Clean-in-Place) systems?
Absolutely. The 316L SS construction and smooth plate surfaces allow effective cleaning with standard CIP protocols. The plates can withstand cleaning chemicals like NaOH, HNO3, and peracetic acid within recommended concentrations.
Q5: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for this product?
For standard configurations, our MOQ is 1 unit. For custom designs (special plate patterns, exotic gaskets, or non-standard connections), we typically require a minimum of 5 units. Contact our sales team for details.
Q6: How do you ensure the heat exchanger meets food safety standards?
Our manufacturing process is HACCP and ISO9001 certified. We use food-grade 316L SS, conduct material certificates, and perform hydrostatic testing. All wetted surfaces have a roughness Ra ≤ 0.5 μm, and we can provide a 3.1 inspection certificate upon request.
Q7: Can you supply a fully assembled unit with frame and connections?
Yes, we offer complete heat exchanger packages including the frame, tightening bolts, and connections (threaded, flanged, or tri-clamp). We can also design a custom skid-mounted system with pumps and controls.
Q8: What is the lead time for a standard order?
For standard sizes and materials, lead time is approximately 30–45 days after order confirmation. Rush orders may be possible for an additional fee. We ship from Qingdao port.
