Select for the product and cleaning programme

The listed plate material options are SS 304 / SS 316 with a gasketed configuration. Confirm the product composition, temperature programme and cleaning chemicals before selection. Hygienic operation depends on the complete process and cleaning validation, as well as the exchanger.

See the working principle and diagram and compare gasketed and other plate constructions.

Selection limits and quotation inputs

For syrup and other viscous products, include viscosity and any particles or fibres. For pasteurizer duties, specify the process stages and required temperature programme; the exchanger alone does not establish the performance of the complete pasteurization system.

Send flow rates, inlet and outlet temperatures for both sides, operating and design conditions, allowable pressure drop, connection needs and the cleaning programme. Pressure, temperature and capacity limits are confirmed with the selected model; no universal rating applies to every unit.

Maintenance and service access

Plan space for opening the plate pack. Track clean operating temperatures and pressure drop, and arrange inspection when performance changes. Follow the unit’s isolation, cleaning and reassembly instructions. See gasket identification and replacement planning.

How much does this PHE cost?

A quotation depends on the duty and agreed supply scope. Review the design and price checklist, then send your requirement to engineering. For industrial oil and utility duties, also see Industrial PHE.

Food process questions

Does a food grade exchanger alone validate pasteurization?

No. Required temperature, holding time, flow control, instrumentation and process validation belong to the complete system. State the process duty when requesting a plate pack.

Can the same unit handle milk and a thick syrup?

Do not assume interchangeability. Viscosity, fouling, particles, heat duty and cleanability change the selection. Ask engineering to check each product and operating case.

Are all cleaning chemicals suitable?

No. Plate and gasket compatibility depend on the chemical, concentration, temperature and exposure time. Use the cleaning programme approved for the selected unit.

Installation and service support

For supply, installation and on-site service across India, send the plant location, unit details and scope. The maintenance, cleaning and troubleshooting guide helps you record operating observations before a service enquiry.
