Sanitary Plate Type Heat Exchanger for Food Processing Industry
Product Spotlights
Qingdao Conqinphi Environmental Technology Group Co., Ltd. is a professional manufacturer with over 10 years of experience in producing high-quality sanitary plate heat exchangers. Our products are specifically designed for the food processing industry, meeting the strictest hygiene and safety standards. With a factory size of 10,000-30,000 square meters and an annual export value of US$10-50 million, we ensure reliable supply and consistent quality.
This Sanitary Plate Type Heat Exchanger features a fully welded or gasketed design with smooth surfaces and no dead corners, making it ideal for milk pasteurization, juice sterilization, beer cooling, sauce heating, and other food applications. It delivers exceptional heat transfer efficiency while maintaining product integrity.
Key Features & Benefits
- Hygienic Design: All contact surfaces are made of stainless steel 304/316L with Ra ≤ 0.8 μm surface roughness, preventing bacterial growth and easy to clean via CIP (Clean-in-Place) systems.
- High Thermal Efficiency: Turbulent flow created by corrugated plates provides heat transfer coefficients up to 3-5 times higher than shell-and-tube exchangers, reducing energy consumption.
- Compact Structure: Space-saving design with high heat transfer area per unit volume, suitable for limited floor space in food plants.
- Flexible Capacity: Modular plate design allows easy expansion or reduction of heat transfer area by adding or removing plates.
- Food-Grade Gaskets: EPDM, NBR, or Viton gaskets comply with FDA and EU regulations, ensuring no contamination.
- Low Maintenance: Plates and gaskets are individually replaceable, reducing downtime and maintenance costs.
- Multiple Configurations: Available in frame types (single-pass, multi-pass) and connection sizes (DN25-DN200) to match your process requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Q: Is the plate heat exchanger suitable for high-viscosity food products?
A: Yes. Our corrugated plate design creates turbulence even at moderate flow rates, making it effective for viscous liquids such as sauces, ketchup, and syrup. Custom spacing and larger ports are available for highly viscous applications. -
Q: How is the heat exchanger cleaned and sterilized?
A: It supports Clean-in-Place (CIP) and Sterilize-in-Place (SIP) procedures. The smooth stainless steel surface (Ra ≤ 0.8 μm) and absence of dead zones ensure thorough cleaning and disinfection without disassembly. -
Q: What gasket materials are available for food contact?
A: Standard food-grade EPDM complies with FDA and EU regulations. For higher temperature or oil resistance, we also offer NBR and Viton gaskets. All materials are certified for food processing use. -
Q: Can I expand the capacity in the future?
A: Absolutely. The modular plate design allows adding or removing plates to adjust the heat transfer area. The frame is designed with extra space for future expansion (up to 20% more plates). -
Q: What certifications do your products have?
A: Our production facilities hold HACCP, ISO9001, ISO14000, OHSAS18001, and other relevant certifications. Specific product certification (e.g., 3A) can be provided upon request. -
Q: What is the delivery time for a standard unit?
A: Typically 15-25 working days for standard models, depending on quantity and specification. Customized units may require 25-35 working days. We ship from Qingdao port. -
Q: Do you offer OEM or custom branding?
A: Yes, we provide OEM services including custom nameplate, packaging, and documentation to meet your brand requirements. -
Q: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
A: For standard models, MOQ is 1 unit. For custom designs, please contact our sales team to discuss minimum quantities.
