Key Features and Technical Specifications
- High Thermal Efficiency: The plate design optimizes turbulent flow, achieving a heat transfer coefficient of 4000–7000 W/(m²·K), which reduces processing time and energy consumption.
- Food-Grade 304 Stainless Steel: All plates are made from AISI 304 stainless steel, providing excellent corrosion resistance against acidic fruit juices (e.g., orange, apple, grape) and easy cleaning to meet HACCP requirements.
- Compact and Modular Design: The plate-and-frame construction allows for easy capacity expansion by adding or removing plates, saving floor space and offering flexibility for different production scales.
- Customizable Parameters: Plate thickness, gasket materials (EPDM/NBR/Viton), connection sizes, and pressure ratings can be tailored to your specific process conditions.
- Durable Gaskets: High-quality clip-on or glue-free gaskets ensure leak-free operation and quick replacement, reducing downtime.
- Wide Operating Range: Suitable for temperatures from -20°C to 180°C and pressures up to 2.5 MPa, accommodating various pasteurization and concentration stages.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Q: Is this heat exchanger suitable for all types of fruit juices?
A: Yes, it works well with acidic juices like orange, apple, grape, and pineapple. The 304 stainless steel resists corrosion from fruit acids. For highly corrosive media, we can offer 316L or other alloys upon request. -
Q: What is the typical lifespan of the plates and gaskets?
A: With proper maintenance and cleaning, the 304 stainless steel plates can last over 10 years. Gaskets typically need replacement every 3–5 years, depending on operating temperature and chemical exposure. -
Q: Can I clean the heat exchanger using a CIP system?
A: Absolutely. The plate design allows for effective clean-in-place (CIP) with standard caustic and acid solutions. We recommend following the cleaning guidelines provided in the manual. -
Q: How do I determine the required heat transfer area for my process?
A: We provide free technical consultation. Simply provide your juice flow rate, inlet/outlet temperatures, and desired concentration, and our engineers will calculate the optimal plate configuration for you. -
Q: Do you offer custom sizes or special pressure ratings?
A: Yes, we offer full customization. Plate thickness, frame material, connection types, and pressure ratings can be tailored to your specifications. Contact our sales team with your requirements. -
Q: What certifications does your company have?
A: Our factory is certified with ISO9001, HACCP, SA8000, OHSAS18001, TL900, and many more. We can provide certificates upon request. All products are manufactured in compliance with international standards. -
Q: What is the lead time for a standard unit?
A: For standard models, lead time is typically 15–25 working days. Custom orders may take 25–40 working days, depending on complexity. We strive to meet your project timeline. -
Q: How do you ensure leak-proof performance?
A: Each unit undergoes a hydrostatic pressure test at 1.5 times the design pressure before shipment. We also use high-quality gasket materials and precision assembly to guarantee zero leakage.
