heat exchanger selection

We're offer Meets all hygienic heating and cooling requirements, NewRoc All Stainless Steel Plate Heat Exchangers, with design pressure up to 10 bar (145 psi), meets all the requirements for pasteurization and other heating and cooling duties in hygienic applications.

Plate heat exchangers are equipment that will be used in pasteurization. Pasteurization is a heat treatment which reduces the presence of potentially harmful bacteria in certain foods to make them safe to eat and/or slow down spoilage and extend shelf life. Pasteurization differs from sterilization in that it only aims to reduce the number of bacterial pathogens to a level where they are very unlikely to cause disease before the specified use-by-date and potentially extend the shelf life of the product in question.

Plate heat exchangers are also employed today in breweries for exhaust vapor condensation, yeast cooling, beer deep-freezing, heating of CIP solutions and other thermal procedures. A classical example of the use of the plate heat exchanger is short-term heating for the thermal stabilization of beer and non-alcoholic drinks.
