Cleanroom Utility Systems
Sanitary Plate Heat Exchanger
A configurable gasketed plate-and-frame exchanger that provides efficient heating, cooling or heat recovery while preserving a cleanable hygienic flow path.
- 316L corrugated plate pack
- Cleanable hygienic flow channels
- Expandable thermal capacity
Product Introduction
The sanitary plate heat exchanger transfers heat through a compressed pack of thin corrugated stainless plates. Alternating product and utility channels provide high surface area in a compact frame, while hygienic port geometry, compatible gaskets and accessible plate surfaces support inspection and cleaning.
Key Features
High-area chevron plate pattern
Gasketed serviceable plate pack
Hygienic clamp connection options
Uniform port-to-channel distribution
Adjustable compression frame
Expandable plate count
Optional double-wall plate arrangement
Customer Product Concerns
Reliable hygienic heat transfer depends on correct plate selection, gasket compatibility, uniform tightening and flow conditions that limit fouling.
Product fouls poorly distributed channelsSelect hygienic distribution areas and plate patterns suited to viscosity and solids loading.
Utility fluid could cross-contaminate productUse a double-wall plate option or monitored pressure strategy where risk assessment requires added separation.
Gaskets deteriorate under chemicals or heatMatch EPDM, NBR or alternative gasket compounds to temperature and cleaning chemistry.
Uneven tightening causes leakageCompress the plate pack uniformly to the specified frame dimension and inspect tie bars during service.
Typical Applications
Purified Water heating and coolingBiopharmaceutical buffer temperature controlFood and beverage pasteurizationCIP solution heat recoveryPersonal-care product processing
