Sanitary Heat Exchangers for Food, Dairy and Pharma

Sanitary Heat Exchangers

Standard and Custom Heat Transfer Equipment

Sanitary heat transfer applications require precision-engineered heat exchangers to maintain the integrity of the product. These systems ensure efficient temperature regulation for sensitive materials, adhering to rigorous health and safety standards. We are committed to partnering with you to create the most effective, cost-efficient, and practical solutions for your heat exchange needs.

Process Duties

Evaporators: Utilize heat exchangers to concentrate solutions by removing water, essential in pharmaceutical ingredient preparation.
Condensers: Capture and condense steam or vapors, playing a critical role in solvent recovery and distillation processes.

Cleaning & Construction

Clean-in-Place (CIP): Heat exchangers support sanitization protocols, ensuring high-purity conditions for sensitive pharmaceutical production.
Shell & Tube: Our shell & tube exchangers are built to exacting standards using the highest quality stainless steel and higher alloys. Built to 3-A standards upon request.

Plate & Tube Designs

Plate & Frame: We provide top-of-the-line sanitary plate and frame units boasting close approach temperatures, reduced fouling, easy cleaning, and optimized performance.
Tube-in-Tube: Our line of sanitary tube-in-tube exchangers can be custom-built to spec using any range of sanitary fitting and materials.

Built For Clean Duty

CIP and SIP Ready

Double Tubesheet

Polished and Passivated

ASME, 3-A, PED, CRN

From Duty to a Sized Unit

Most sanitary exchangers are mis-sized before anyone looks at a catalog, because one of six facts is missing: the product and utility fluids, which side is product contact, flow and inlet and outlet temperatures, whether regeneration is required, viscosity or particulates, and the hygiene class. The Sizing & Selection section walks through each one and shows what it changes.

With those facts the choice between plate, shell-and-tube and tube-in-tube usually makes itself. Thin, clean liquids at close approach go to plates. Steam heating, high pressure and pharma water go to shell-and-tube, with a double tubesheet where a leak between fluids cannot be tolerated. Viscous, particulate or fibrous product goes to tube-in-tube.

Send the data and we return a sized selection, a price and a drawing. Prefer to talk it through first? An application engineer answers the phone 8am to 5pm at 1-805-484-2992.
