Product Benefits & Advantages
- High Thermal Efficiency: The dimpled plate design creates turbulent flow, significantly improving heat transfer coefficient compared to smooth plates. This reduces energy consumption and processing time.
- Food-Grade Sanitation: Made from 316L stainless steel with a smooth surface finish (Ra ≤ 0.8μm), our heat exchanger prevents bacterial growth and meets strict hygiene standards for dairy applications. CIP cleaning saves labor and ensures consistent sanitation.
- Corrosion Resistance: 316L offers superior resistance to chloride-induced stress corrosion, making it ideal for dairy environments where milk, whey, and cleaning agents are present.
- Robust Pressure Rating: Rated at 1.0 MPa, the unit can withstand high-pressure steam or hot water on the heating side, ensuring stable performance even under demanding conditions.
- Compact Design: Dimpled plate heat exchangers have a smaller footprint than shell-and-tube alternatives, saving valuable floor space in your facility.
- Easy Maintenance: The modular plate pack can be easily inspected and disassembled if needed. Gaskets are replaceable, extending the overall lifespan of the equipment.
- Customizable Configurations: We offer various plate geometries, gasket materials, and connection orientations to match your specific process requirements. Custom sizes and pressure ratings are available upon request.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
Q: Can this heat exchanger be used for milk pasteurization?
A: Yes, it is specifically designed for dairy applications including HTST pasteurization, heating, and cooling of milk, cream, and other dairy products. The 316L material and CIP capability ensure compliance with food safety regulations. -
Q: What is the maximum operating temperature?
A: Standard design temperature is up to 180°C. Higher temperature options (e.g., 220°C) are available with appropriate gasket materials and can be customized upon request. -
Q: Does the unit come with a frame and connections?
A: Yes, the complete heat exchanger includes a stainless steel frame, plate pack, gaskets, and connections. We can supply threaded or flanged connections as per your specification. -
Q: How do I clean the heat exchanger without disassembly?
A: The CIP (Clean-in-Place) design allows cleaning solutions to circulate through the plate channels, effectively removing deposits. Our engineering team can recommend the proper CIP cycle parameters for your product. -
Q: Can you provide plates with different dimple patterns?
A: Yes, we offer herringbone, chevron, and custom dimple patterns to optimize heat transfer and pressure drop for your specific process. Please share your requirements for a tailored solution. -
Q: What is the typical lead time?
A: Lead time depends on quantity and customization. Standard units are typically shipped within 15–25 working days. Customized orders may take 20–35 working days. We offer expedited shipping options for urgent needs. -
Q: Do you offer a warranty?
A: Yes, we provide a 12-month warranty against manufacturing defects. Extended warranty options are available upon request. Our after-sales team can assist with installation guidance and technical support. -
Q: Is the heat exchanger suitable for viscous liquids like yogurt or cheese curd?
A: For high-viscosity products, we recommend wider plate gaps or special dimple designs to reduce fouling. Please consult with our technical team to evaluate your specific product characteristics.
