Qingdao Conqinphi Environmental Technology Group Co., Ltd. has been a trusted manufacturer of heat exchange solutions since 2015. Our Gasketed Plate Heat Exchanger for Dairy Processing is engineered with 316L stainless steel and a sanitary design, meeting the stringent hygiene standards of the dairy industry. With a robust capacity of 15 Bar and 150°C, this heat exchanger ensures efficient thermal transfer while maintaining product purity. Backed by our 10,000-30,000 m² factory and a team of 201-300 skilled professionals, we deliver reliable equipment that enhances your processing line.

This product is specifically designed for dairy applications such as pasteurization, sterilization, and cooling of milk, cream, yogurt, and cheese. The gasketed plate design offers easy maintenance and flexibility, while the 316L stainless steel construction provides excellent corrosion resistance and longevity. Let’s explore the detailed features and benefits.

Key Features & Technical Specifications

  • Sanitary Design: All product contact surfaces are made of 316L stainless steel, polished to a Ra ≤ 0.8 μm finish, preventing bacterial growth and easy to clean (CIP/SIP compatible).
  • High Pressure & Temperature: Rated for 15 Bar operating pressure and 150°C maximum temperature, suitable for demanding dairy processes.
  • Gasketed Plate Construction: Plates are sealed with FDA-approved EPDM or NBR gaskets, ensuring leak-free operation and allowing simple plate replacement or capacity expansion.
  • Efficient Heat Transfer: Counter-current flow pattern with high turbulence achieves close temperature approach (up to 1°C) and high heat recovery (up to 95%).
  • Compact Footprint: Modular design saves floor space compared to shell-and-tube or tubular heat exchangers.
  • Customizable Configuration: Number of plates, frame size, and connection types (sanitary clamp, flange, or threaded) can be tailored to your specific flow rates and process requirements.

Product Advantages & Customer Benefits

  • Product Purity: The sanitary design and 316L material comply with 3-A and EHEDG standards (optional), ensuring no contamination of dairy products.
  • Energy Savings: High heat recovery reduces utility costs – perfect for pasteurization regeneration sections.
  • Easy Maintenance: Gasketed plates can be opened for inspection, cleaning, or replacement without special tools, minimizing downtime.
  • Versatility: Suitable for both liquid-liquid and liquid-vapor applications; can handle viscous fluids like cream or concentrated milk.
  • Long Service Life: 316L stainless steel offers superior resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion in chloride-containing environments (e.g., cleaning agents).
  • Global Compliance: Our manufacturing facility holds certifications including HACCP, ISO9001, ISO14000, and others, ensuring consistent quality and traceability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

  1. Q: What is the typical cleaning procedure for this heat exchanger?
    A: The unit is designed for CIP (Clean-in-Place) with alkaline and acid solutions. The 316L surface finish and gasket materials withstand standard dairy cleaning chemicals at recommended temperatures and concentrations.
  2. Q: Can this heat exchanger handle high-viscosity products like yogurt or cheese curd?
    A: Yes, the plate design with wide ports and optimized gap can handle viscosities up to 10,000 cP. For cheese curd, please consult our engineering team for special modifications.
  3. Q: Do you offer custom plate patterns for specific heat transfer requirements?
    A: Absolutely. We offer various chevron angles (e.g., 30°, 45°, 60°) and plate geometries to adjust pressure drop and thermal performance. This is provided upon request.
  4. Q: What gasket materials are available for dairy applications?
    A: Standard is EPDM (FDA compliant). For high-temperature or aggressive media, we also offer Viton (FKM) or HNBR. All gaskets are replaceable and snap-on/snap-off design for easy retrofit.
  5. Q: What is the maximum number of plates in a single frame?
    A: Depending on the frame size, we can accommodate up to 400 plates. However, we recommend limiting to 200 plates for optimal performance and maintenance access.
  6. Q: How do you ensure the heat exchanger meets sanitary standards?
    A: All wetted parts are 316L with Ra ≤ 0.8 μm polish. Connections are sanitary clamp or aseptic flanges. Our design follows 3-A and EHEDG guidelines (compliance available upon request).
  7. Q: What is the lead time for a standard unit?
    A: Typical lead time is 4-6 weeks for standard configurations, depending on quantity. Custom orders may require additional time. We ship from Qingdao Port.
  8. Q: Do you provide warranty and after-sales support?
    A: Yes, we offer a 12-month warranty from the date of shipment, covering manufacturing defects. We also provide remote technical support, spare parts, and on-site service if needed.
