Hygienic Line heat exchangers
The Hygienic Line by Alfa Laval elevates process hygiene and product safety. This premium range of plate heat exchangers is specifically designed for hygienic applications in the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries. With optimised flow distribution and a smoother plate pattern, heat transfer is improved and energy efficiency can increase by up to 15%. At the same time, pressure drop is reduced by up to 10%, without compromising performance.
These energy-efficient and sustainable plate heat exchangers contribute to reducing the ecological footprint. On average, 10% less steel is used compared to previous models, resulting in lower CO₂ emissions during production. The Hygienic Line is not only a smart choice for process optimisation, but also for sustainable production environments that demand the highest standards in hygiene and efficiency.
