If it seems as if dairy processors have a lot on their plates at times, it may not be a bad thing.

Plate heat exchangers, used since the early part of the 20th century to indirectly heat and cool liquids, are a venerable but still crucial part of many daily dairy operations. After all, without proper heating and cooling functions, an otherwise smooth dairy process can turn disastrous--and costly.

Sanitary plate heat exchangers come in a variety of sizes and p...

Feeling the heat: plate heat exchangers help dairy processors keep their cool when it comes to effective and reliable heat-transfer functions.(Processing Technology)
Dairy Field ; If it seems as if dairy processors have a lot on their plates at times, it may not be a bad thing. Plate heat exchangers, used since the early part of the 20th century to indirectly heat and cool liquids, are a venerable but still crucial part of many daily dairy operations. After all, without
Saving energy and dollars: plate heat exchangers tailored to specialized applications offer new advantages to the dairy industry. (Processing Technology).
Dairy Field ; Heating and cooling are critical to dairy manufacturing. Plate heat exchangers, therefore, are major players in these functions, and processors are constantly seeking ways to streamline their maintenance and cleaning, service them with minimum downtime and increase their regeneration capabilities.
Hot topic: dairy heat exchangers--built to accommodate processor needs for volume and efficiency.(processing technology)
Dairy Field ; In dairy processing, there are really are a few important degrees of separation--like the degrees in temperature that can affect product quality and safety, and the degrees in flow rates that can translate into improved efficiency. Heat exchangers are pivotal in making such differences, because of
Sanitary heat exchangers.(Technology sourcebook: focus on heat exchange & conveying equipment)
Food Engineering ; Alfa Laval's FrontLine series of plate heat exchangers is suitable for dairy pasteurization, yogurt cooling, treatment of heat-sensitive products and UHT heat treatment. In addition to FrontLine, the company's new line of heat exchangers includes sanitary plate heat exchangers, semi-welded plate
Compact heat exchangers in ammonia/urea production: in ammonia and urea plants the predominant heat transfer equipment has traditionally been the massive shell-and-tube heat exchanger. Jakob Liedberg, of Alfa Laval, shows how compact plate heat exchangers have made inroads in even these exacting applications.(Process Equipment)
Nitrogen & Methanol ; The shell-and-tube heat exchanger is the most tried and tested of all heat exchanger designs. It dates back to the beginnings of the industrial revolution, when it was the basis of some of the earliest industrial steam boilers. It was the centrepiece of almost, if not absolutely, every steam
