Alfa Laval’s Hygienic Line takes process hygiene and safety to a higher level. This range of plate heat exchangers has been developed especially for applications where hygiene is of paramount importance. The plate heat exchangers not only optimise process hygiene, but also energy efficiency. That is why the Hygienic Line is ideal for use in the food, drinks and pharmaceutical industries.
Main features
- Developed for the most hygienic application, with a focus on the soft handling of sensitive products.
- Specifically developed to reduce the use of energy, water and cleaning agent.
- Optimised current distribution and a smoother plate pattern for an increase of up to 15% in energy efficiency and a decrease of up to 10% in the pressure drop.
- On average a reduction of 10% in steel consumption compared to previous models during production, resulting in lower CO2 emissions.
Advantages
- Improved product safety because of unique design features on plates and gaskets.
- Can be cleaned perfectly because of an innovative plate pattern for even better hygiene.
- Longer intervals between cleaning cycles thanks to optimised media distribution.
- Minimum consumption of energy and materials, owing to high heat transfer efficiency
- Simple maintenance with easy access and ClipGripTM gasket mounting.
- Accelerates your journey towards sustainability thanks to high energy efficiency.
- Increased uptime, increased productivity.
- Hygienic heating and cooling for maximum product safety.
