Flexible, hygienic heat exchanger

THE Alfa Laval FrontLine with design pressure up to 21 (305 psi), allows a flexible design with plates tailor-made for demanding hygienic applications. Its plate pattern, the channel depth and the overall dimensions are designed for gentle, uniform heat transfer for sensitive dairy, food, beverage and home-personal care products.

The heat exchanger can be configured with different sections, using plate and gaskets in different materials with several types of connections. A herringbone plate pattern with optimized pressing depth and plate material provides gentle, uniform heat transfer of sensitive hygienic products.

Alfa Laval FrontLine has a wide stream plate for product containing particles and/or fibers like fruit juices etc.

The plates provide gentle and uniform heat transfer between the two media involved, a feature that can prolong operating times. In addition, the unique distribution area ensures a uniform flow over the entire plate surface with no stagnant flow zones and less risk of fouling build-up.

With increased Cleaning-in-Place (CIP) efficiency and less fouling, the plates of Alfa Laval FrontLine are easy to clean and provide longer time between cleaning cycles, ensuring more production output.
