The key TS advantages over shell and tubes are flexibility, small footprint, quick response time, and expandability/serviceability. The small footprint can reduce hot water set package size by over 50%, reducing skid costs and saving valuable plant floor space.

Feldmeier

The Feldmeier UHT system can be usedfor Ultra Pasteurization and ESL of milk, tea, juices and beverages. The products are heated by regeneration and hot water up to 285°F, and cooled by regeneration and further cooled, if necessary, to 35°F with ice water, glycol, Freon or ammonia. Regeneration for milk and fruit juices is in excess of 90%. All product contact surfaces are type 316L stainless steel and all gaskets are Teflon. Patents are now pending on this UHT system which can attain an extremely high thermal efficiency while keeping the flavor of milk comparable to any commercial UHT milk.

APV

APV’s new R5 Quad-Drive plate heat exchanger, accepting over 1000 plates, includes many unique features that save the customer time and effort while extending the plate’s life. The Quad-Drive is the only PHE to incorporate a PLC, which automatically controls closing and opening. Press ‘close’ on the display and the machine evenly compresses the plate pack to pitch. Traditionally, two or three people and a tape measure were required for this task, which could result in plate damage or leakage. Tie bar placement allows unimpeded access to every plate and with simultaneous rotation the follower remains parallel to the head.
