Our plate heat exchangers are engineered to deliver maximum uptime. The 316L plates resist scaling and fouling, reducing cleaning intervals. The 304 frame is designed with adjustable tightening bolts to maintain optimal gasket compression throughout the unit's life. Additionally, the modular design allows for future capacity upgrades by simply adding plates – no need to replace the entire unit. This flexibility translates to lower total cost of ownership and a higher return on investment.
For the food industry, hygiene is non-negotiable. Our heat exchanger features smooth surfaces and crevice-free construction, making it compliant with 3-A sanitary standards. The 2.0mm flange ensures a leak-proof connection, preventing cross-contamination. All wetted parts are made of 316L, which withstands aggressive cleaning chemicals and high-temperature sterilization cycles (CIP/SIP).

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Q: What is the difference between 316L and 304 stainless steel in this heat exchanger?
A: The plates are made of 316L stainless steel, which offers superior corrosion resistance against chlorides and acidic foods (e.g., fruit juices, sauces). The frame is 304 SS, providing sufficient strength and cost efficiency for the structural support. -
Q: Can this heat exchanger be used for high-pressure applications?
A: Yes, the standard design pressure is up to 1.0 MPa, but we can customize the unit for higher pressures (up to 1.6 MPa) by using thicker plates or stronger frames. Please provide your specific requirements. -
Q: How do I clean the heat exchanger?
A: The unit supports Clean-in-Place (CIP) and Steam-in-Place (SIP) procedures. The 316L plates are resistant to common cleaning chemicals. We recommend following the gasket manufacturer's guidelines for temperature and chemical limits. -
Q: What gasket options are available for food contact?
A: We offer NBR (general food service), EPDM (good for hot water and steam), and Viton® (high temperature and chemical resistance). All are FDA-compliant and suitable for food-grade applications. -
Q: What is the lead time for this product?
A: Standard lead time is 25–35 working days, depending on the quantity and customization. For urgent orders, expedited production can be arranged. -
Q: Do you provide spare parts and after-sales support?
A: Yes, we stock gaskets, plates, and frame components. Our technical team can assist with installation, troubleshooting, and maintenance. We also offer a 12-month warranty against manufacturing defects. -
Q: Can I add more plates later to increase capacity?
A: Absolutely. The frame is designed with extra tightening bolts to accommodate additional plates. You can order a plate pack expansion kit at any time, making this a modular and scalable solution. -
Q: Is this product certified for dairy and beverage processing?
A: Yes, our heat exchangers are manufactured under HACCP and ISO9001 quality systems, and they meet the 3-A sanitary standards for dairy equipment. We can also provide material certificates (MTC) upon request.
