Sanitary Design Stainless Steel Pillow-Type Plate Heat Exchanger, 304 Material, 2.5m² Heat Transfer
Product Spotlights
As a trusted manufacturer since 1998, Anping County Boli Hardware Wiremesh Products Factory is proud to introduce our Sanitary Design Stainless Steel Pillow-Type Plate Heat Exchanger made from premium 304 stainless steel with a 2.5 m² heat transfer area. This heat exchanger is engineered to meet the rigorous hygiene standards of the food, dairy, and pharmaceutical industries, offering efficient thermal transfer while maintaining easy cleanability. With over two decades of metal fabrication expertise and annual exports exceeding US$5 million, we deliver reliable, high-performance heat exchange solutions that support your critical processes.
Our pillow-type plate design utilizes a unique corrugated structure that creates turbulent flow, maximizing heat transfer coefficients while minimizing fouling. The 304 stainless steel construction ensures excellent corrosion resistance, durability, and compatibility with a wide range of media, including water, oils, milk, beer, and pharmaceutical solutions. This heat exchanger is ideal for applications requiring gentle heating or cooling of sensitive products, such as pasteurization, sterilization, and temperature control. The sanitary design features smooth surfaces, no dead zones, and easy access for inspection and cleaning, complying with common sanitary standards.
Key Features & Benefits
- Sanitary Construction: All wetted parts are 304 stainless steel, with polished surfaces and crevice-free welds, preventing bacterial growth and facilitating CIP (Clean-in-Place) cleaning.
- Efficient Heat Transfer: Pillow-type plates provide a large surface area in a compact footprint, achieving up to 30% higher heat transfer efficiency compared to traditional shell-and-tube exchangers for similar applications.
- Durable & Leak-Proof: Laser-welded seams and robust frame ensure long service life under pressure and temperature fluctuations. Each unit is pressure-tested before shipment.
- Compact & Flexible: The lightweight design requires minimal installation space. Multiple units can be stacked or combined for higher capacity.
- Customizable Options: Available with various connection types (tri-clamp, flanged, threaded), port sizes, and gasket materials (EPDM, silicone, Viton) to suit your specific system.
- Low Maintenance: Simple disassembly allows quick inspection and replacement of plates, reducing downtime and maintenance costs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is the difference between a pillow-type plate heat exchanger and a traditional plate heat exchanger?
A: Pillow-type plates have a corrugated, pillow-like surface that creates stronger turbulence and higher heat transfer coefficients. They are also more sanitary because there are no sharp corners or hard-to-clean areas, making them ideal for hygienic applications.
Q2: Can this heat exchanger be used for CIP (Clean-in-Place) cleaning?
A: Yes, the sanitary design with smooth surfaces, crevice-free welds, and appropriate connections supports CIP cleaning. However, we recommend verifying the compatibility with your cleaning agents and temperature.
Q3: What gasket materials are available for high-temperature applications?
A: Standard is EPDM (up to 120°C), silicone (up to 200°C), and Viton (up to 250°C). Please specify your temperature and media requirements when ordering.
Q4: Is the 2.5 m² heat transfer area fixed, or can I get a different size?
A: The model is based on a 2.5 m² plate pack, but we can customize the number of plates to achieve other areas. Additionally, we offer other models with different plate sizes. Contact us for options.
Q5: What is the maximum operating pressure for this unit?
A: The standard design pressure is 10 bar, but we can customize to higher pressures (up to 16 bar) with reinforced frames and thicker plates. Please consult our engineering team for your specific needs.
Q6: How do I determine the correct connection size for my system?
A: The connection size depends on your flow rate and pipe diameter. Common sizes are 1.5" and 2" tri-clamp or flanged. We can provide recommendations based on your process parameters.
Q7: Do you offer certificates of material compliance or test reports?
A: Yes, we can provide a material test certificate (MTC) for 304 stainless steel and a hydrostatic test report upon request. Additional documentation may be available; please inquire.
Q8: What is the typical lead time for this product?
A: For standard configurations, lead time is 15–20 working days. Custom designs may require 25–35 working days. We work with our logistics partners to ship from Tianjin, Qingdao, or Shanghai ports.
