Heat exchangers for food and beverage
Hygienic units for heating and cooling products - even at high viscosity and with solids content.
Food and beverage processes make double demands: heat transfer must be efficient - and the unit hygienic, cleanable and gentle on the product.
Proven designs for sensitive products
AWS-Technik has been supplying the food industry for many years: from shell and tube heat exchangers for process water through demountable double tube heat exchangers for viscous products to hygienic designs with high-polish surfaces. The right type follows from product, process and cleaning concept - we advise you based on your operating data.
Which design for which product?
For media with high viscosity or solids content, double tube heat exchangers are the first choice: their large flow cross-sections let the product pass gently, and the demountable design allows cleaning of all heat transfer surfaces. For process water and low-viscosity media, shell and tube or plate heat exchangers are used - gasketed plate units can be dismantled and adapted in plate count to the process.
Typical processes
- Heating and cooling of products and process media
- Hygienic designs with high-polish surfaces
- Viscous products with solids in double tube heat exchangers
- Cleaning-friendly, demountable constructions
Frequently asked questions
Which type suits products containing solids?
Double tube heat exchangers: their large flow cross-sections handle media with high viscosity and solids content, and the demountable design allows cleaning of all heat transfer surfaces.
Does AWS-Technik offer hygienic designs?
Yes - hygienic heat exchangers with high-polish surfaces are available as shell and tube, double tube and spiral tube designs.
