Welcome to Qingdao Conqinphi Environmental Technology Group Co., Ltd. – a trusted manufacturer with over 8 years of experience in producing high-performance heat exchange solutions. Our 316L Stainless Steel Food-Grade Plate Heat Exchanger with 1.0mm Thick Plates and 20 Bar Design Pressure is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries. Combining superior corrosion resistance, robust construction, and exceptional thermal efficiency, this heat exchanger ensures product purity while maximizing energy savings. Whether you need pasteurization, cooling, or heating for liquid products, our unit delivers reliable, hygienic performance.
Key Features & Technical Specifications
- Food-Grade 316L Stainless Steel: All wetted parts are made from 316L stainless steel, offering excellent resistance to chlorides, acids, and high temperatures. This material complies with global food safety standards, making it ideal for dairy, beer, juice, and sauce processing.
- 1.0mm Thick Heat Transfer Plates: The thicker plates (1.0 mm) provide enhanced durability and pressure resistance compared to standard 0.5mm plates, reducing the risk of plate failure under thermal cycling or high-pressure operations.
- 20 Bar Design Pressure (290 PSI): Designed to withstand high operating pressures, this heat exchanger is suitable for applications where high-pressure drops or viscous fluids are involved.
- High Thermal Efficiency: The herringbone plate pattern maximizes turbulence, achieving heat transfer coefficients up to 6000 W/m²·K. This reduces the required heat transfer area and lowers energy consumption.
- Hygienic Gasket System: Gaskets are made from FDA-approved EPDM or NBR, available in clip-on or glue-free designs to eliminate dead zones and bacterial growth. Easy to clean and maintain.
- Modular & Expandable: The frame allows for adding or removing plates to adjust capacity. Customizable connection sizes and orientations are available.
- Compact Footprint: Space-saving design minimizes floor space requirement, ideal for retrofitting into existing production lines.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Q: What makes this heat exchanger food-grade?
A: All product-contact surfaces are made of 316L stainless steel with a smooth surface finish (Ra ≤ 0.8 μm). Gaskets are FDA-approved EPDM or NBR, and the design eliminates crevices where bacteria can accumulate. The unit also complies with HACCP and other food safety standards. -
Q: Can I use this for high-temperature applications?
A: Yes, depending on the gasket material. With EPDM gaskets, the maximum operating temperature is 150°C. For higher temperatures (up to 200°C), we recommend Viton gaskets (available upon request). -
Q: What is the maximum flow rate this unit can handle?
A: The flow rate depends on the number of plates and connection size. For a typical 100-plate unit with DN80 connections, the flow rate can reach up to 100 m³/h. Please provide your specific flow and pressure drop requirements for a tailored design. -
Q: Are the plates interchangeable with other brands?
A: Our plates are designed with a unique herringbone pattern and gasket groove geometry. While they are not directly interchangeable with other brands, we can manufacture custom patterns if needed. We recommend using our original plates for optimal performance. -
Q: How do I clean the heat exchanger?
A: The unit supports CIP (Clean-in-Place) cleaning. The plate pack can also be easily opened for manual cleaning or inspection. We provide a cleaning guide with recommended chemicals and procedures. -
Q: What is the lead time for custom orders?
A: Standard configurations typically ship within 15–20 working days. Custom designs (different connections, frame materials, or special gaskets) may require 25–35 working days. Please contact our sales team for accurate lead times. -
Q: Do you offer a warranty?
A: Yes, we provide a 12-month warranty against manufacturing defects. Extended warranty options are available upon request. -
Q: Can I get a sample before placing a bulk order?
A: Yes, we offer sample units for evaluation. The cost and shipping are negotiable, and the sample price can be deducted from future bulk orders.
