Dairy Processing Pipeline Plate Heat Exchanger 304SS, CIP Cleanable, 3A Approved
Product Spotlights
As a leading manufacturer with over 25 years of experience since 1998, Anping County Boli Hardware Wiremesh Products Factory brings you the Dairy Processing Pipeline Plate Heat Exchanger – a high-performance solution engineered for the dairy industry. Crafted from premium 304 stainless steel, this heat exchanger is designed to meet the rigorous demands of pasteurization, sterilization, and cooling in milk, yogurt, cheese, and other dairy applications. With 3A approval and CIP cleanable construction, it ensures food safety, operational efficiency, and long-term reliability.
Our plate heat exchanger features a compact, modular design that maximizes heat transfer efficiency while minimizing footprint. The 304SS material provides excellent corrosion resistance against dairy acids and cleaning agents, making it ideal for continuous processing. The CIP (Clean-in-Place) capability allows for automated cleaning without disassembly, reducing downtime and labor costs. Whether you need a single-stage or multi-stage configuration, our unit can be customized to match your flow rate, temperature, and pressure requirements.

Product Features & Benefits
- High Thermal Efficiency: Corrugated plate design creates turbulent flow, enhancing heat transfer coefficient up to 3–5 times higher than shell-and-tube exchangers.
- Sanitary Design: 3A approved materials and smooth surfaces prevent bacterial growth and meet dairy industry hygiene standards.
- CIP Cleanable: No need to disassemble; automated cleaning cycles save time, water, and chemicals, reducing operational costs.
- 304SS Durability: Excellent resistance to corrosion from milk fats, acids, and alkaline cleaners, ensuring long service life.
- Compact & Modular: Easy to install in tight spaces; plate count can be adjusted to change capacity without replacing the entire unit.
- Low Maintenance: Gaskets are easily replaceable; frame design allows quick access for inspection.
- Energy Saving: Counter-current flow design maximizes heat recovery, reducing energy consumption by up to 30%.
Our heat exchanger is ideal for a wide range of dairy processes: pasteurization (HTST, LTLT), sterilization (UHT), cooling (chilled water or glycol), heating (hot water or steam), and regeneration (preheating raw milk with pasteurized milk). The 304SS construction is also suitable for other food, beverage, and pharmaceutical applications where CIP cleaning is required.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
Q: What is the difference between 304 and 316L stainless steel for dairy applications?
A: Both are food-grade, but 316L offers higher corrosion resistance for very acidic products. For most dairy applications, 304SS is sufficient and cost-effective. We can also supply 316L upon request. -
Q: Can the plate heat exchanger handle high-viscosity fluids like cream or yogurt?
A: Yes, but we recommend selecting wider plate gaps and appropriate gasket materials. Our design can be customized for viscous products. -
Q: What is the typical lead time for a custom plate heat exchanger?
A: Standard lead time is 15–25 working days, depending on specifications and order quantity. Express delivery is available for urgent orders. -
Q: How do I clean the heat exchanger without disassembly?
A: The unit supports CIP (Clean-in-Place) using a sequence of rinsing, caustic wash, acid wash, and sanitizing solutions. We provide a recommended cleaning protocol. -
Q: Is the 3A certification valid for all dairy processing equipment?
A: The 3A symbol indicates that the heat exchanger meets the strict sanitary standards of the dairy industry. Our product is 3A approved for milk and milk products. -
Q: What is the maximum number of plates I can add?
A: The frame can accommodate from 10 to over 200 plates, depending on model. The maximum plate count is determined by the frame length and tie rod size. -
Q: Do you offer a warranty?
A: Yes, we provide a standard 12-month warranty against manufacturing defects. Extended warranties are available upon request. -
Q: Can I get a sample for testing before bulk order?
A: We can provide a small-scale unit or a sample plate for evaluation. Please contact our sales team to discuss your requirements.
