Plate heat exchangers (PHEs) are indispensable in modern food processing due to their high efficiency, compact design, and compliance with stringent hygiene standards. Below are key applications and advantages that make them ideal for global food manufacturers:
PHEs enable rapid and precise heat treatment for liquid foods such as milk, juices, and sauces, ensuring microbial safety while preserving nutritional quality. For example, in dairy production, PHEs achieve ultra-high-temperature (UHT) processing by heating milk to 135-150°C for 2-5 seconds, effectively eliminating pathogens without compromising flavor. Similarly, in beverage industries, they are used for pasteurizing fruit juices to extend shelf life.
Post-heating, PHEs quickly cool products to safe storage temperatures. In juice production, hot-filled beverages are rapidly cooled to 4-10°C using chilled water, preventing thermal degradation and maintaining freshness. For baked goods, dough is cooled uniformly to stabilize texture, ensuring consistent product quality.
PHEs efficiently concentrate liquids like syrups, jams, and dairy products by removing excess water under controlled temperatures. In starch and sugar manufacturing, they facilitate energy-saving evaporation processes, reducing operational costs by up to 30% compared to traditional methods.
A single PHE can integrate heating, cooling, and heat recovery in one system. For instance, in breweries, PHEs simultaneously heat wort for fermentation and recover waste heat to preheat incoming water, optimizing energy use.
Food-Grade Materials: Plates made of 316L stainless steel, titanium, or Hastelloy resist corrosion from acidic or salty media (e.g., tomato sauce, seafood brines).
Hygienic Construction: Smooth surfaces and easy disassembly prevent bacterial buildup, complying with FDA, 3-A, and EHEDG standards.
Compact Footprint: Occupying 50% less space than shell-and-tube models, PHEs suit facilities with limited room.
