Tube And Plate UHT-HTST a combination heat exchanger giving the best of both worlds

The Small Scale Best Of Both Worlds

Tube and Plate UHT/HTST

A combined machine with tubes and plates on one base. The system is designed for easy changeover from one system to the other with the touch of a button. Just select which system is to be used from the touch panel menu and the machine is ready to use.

There is no need to remove the plates and replace with tubes or vice versa, the divert valves will change the product and service flow through whichever system is chosen. Individual tubes are utilized to give a wide variety of heating and cooling duties. The tubes are manufactured to our own specification and are profiled to give turbulence at the low flow rates to enable scale up to production.

No bond Gasketed plate heat exchangers to give a wide variety of heating and cooling duties. The plates are manufactured to our own specification and can be supplied as 1 complete plate pack or individual units for easy maintenance.

  • Minimum sample required.

  • Flow rates from 20 to 100 Ltr per hour (Higher available by request).

  • Highly accurate electromagnetic flowmeter as option.

  • Product system pressures to 10 bar.

  • Heating to 152 deg C at the flow rates stated.

  • Cooling to below 5 deg C at the flow rates stated.

  • Holding tubes of any time available and can be placed wherever needed.

  • Built in refrigerator or your chilled water supply.

  • Built in true CIP (Clean In Place), flow for CIP to meet industry standard 1.5m/second.

  • Each heating section is individually controlled to enable a wide setting of product temperatures.

  • 2 Electrically heated hot water recirculators.

  • Touch panel control fascia with flow path of system.

  • No steam required.

  • SIP (Sterilise In Place) an option for Aseptic sampling.

  • Aseptic sampling when used with the optional Clean Bench.

  • In line homogeniser can be added either upstream or downstream.

  • Level sensor in hopper for easy wash out after product and CIP.

  • Computer interface with real time temperature recording.

  • Static mixers optional for difficult products.

 

Mobile

The machine is completely mobile, can be moved from one location to another very easily and can be positioned in a wet or dry area.

Control

Each section is individually controlled and the flow path of the system is shown on the touch panel. The product is heated by pressurised hot water recirculators which are PID controlled for greater stability and accuracy. The cooling is in 1 or 2 stages dependant on the final cooling temperature required.

Product Pump

As standard a progressive cavity pump is used. Pump options are available depending on the products to be processed.

Service connections

Only mains water and a suitable drain required.
Compressed air at 6 bar for the divert valves.

Voltages available

200, 220 or 240 volt single phase, 50 or 60 Hz.
200 volt 3 phase, 50 or 60 Hz.
380 volt 3 phase, 50 or 60 Hz.
415 volt 3 phase, 50 or 60 Hz.

Amps

Depending on voltage, minimum 20 amps, maximum 45 amps
