304 Stainless Steel Corrugated Plate Heat Exchanger for Fruit Juice Concentration, 1.0MPa Max Pressure
Product Spotlights
As a leading manufacturer based in Qingdao, China, Qingdao Conqinphi Environmental Technology Group Co., Ltd. has been dedicated to producing high-quality heat exchange solutions since 2015. Our 304 Stainless Steel Corrugated Plate Heat Exchanger is specifically engineered for the demanding process of fruit juice concentration, offering reliable performance under a maximum working pressure of 1.0 MPa. With a factory spanning 10,000-30,000 square meters and over 200 skilled employees, we combine advanced manufacturing techniques with rigorous quality control to deliver equipment that enhances thermal efficiency and product purity.
This heat exchanger is designed to handle the unique challenges of juice concentration, where high viscosity, temperature sensitivity, and hygiene standards are critical. The corrugated plate geometry creates turbulent flow, maximizing heat transfer while minimizing fouling and pressure drop. Our unit is built entirely from food-grade 304 stainless steel, ensuring excellent corrosion resistance and compatibility with acidic fruit juices. Whether you are concentrating apple, orange, grape, or tropical fruit juices, this equipment provides consistent, energy-efficient performance.
Key Features & Technical Specifications

Why Choose Our Heat Exchanger for Juice Concentration?
- Enhanced Thermal Efficiency: The corrugated plate pattern induces high turbulence, reducing the risk of burn-on and improving heat transfer coefficient by up to 30% compared to smooth plates.
- Food Safety Guaranteed: 304 stainless steel is non-reactive with fruit acids, and the smooth surface prevents bacterial growth. Our manufacturing process complies with HACCP and ISO standards.
- Customizable Design: We offer tailored plate counts, connection sizes, and gasket materials to match your specific process parameters, including vacuum evaporation or pasteurization.
- Energy Savings: Efficient heat recovery reduces steam consumption, lowering operational costs in juice concentration lines.
- Easy Maintenance: The plate pack can be disassembled quickly for inspection, cleaning, or gasket replacement, minimizing downtime.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
Q: Can this heat exchanger handle high-viscosity fruit concentrates?
A: Yes, the corrugated plates create turbulent flow even at moderate Reynolds numbers, making it suitable for viscous fluids like concentrated juice. We recommend checking the viscosity range with our technical team. -
Q: Is it safe for food contact?
A: Absolutely. The unit is made of 304 stainless steel (food-grade) and all gaskets are FDA-compliant. Our factory holds HACCP and ISO9001 certifications, ensuring strict hygiene standards. -
Q: What is the maximum pressure and temperature?
A: The maximum working pressure is 1.0 MPa (145 psi), and the temperature range is -20°C to 150°C. For higher pressure requirements, please consult us for custom solutions. -
Q: How do I clean the plates?
A: The heat exchanger supports CIP (Clean-in-Place) cleaning. You can also disassemble the plate pack for manual cleaning. The smooth surface resists fouling, making cleaning efficient. -
Q: What is the typical lifespan of the gaskets?
A: Gasket lifespan depends on operating temperature and chemical exposure. Under normal conditions (juice concentration at 80-100°C), EPDM gaskets typically last 2-3 years. Replacement gaskets are available from us. -
Q: Can I get a customized number of plates?
A: Yes, we offer flexible plate counts from 10 to 300 plates. The heat transfer area can be customized to meet your exact production capacity. -
Q: Do you provide installation support?
A: We provide detailed technical drawings and installation manuals. For large orders, remote or on-site technical support is available upon request. -
Q: How long is the delivery time?
A: Standard units are shipped within 20-30 working days. Custom designs may require 35-45 working days, depending on complexity. We are located in Qingdao port, offering convenient sea freight worldwide.
