While it may not be as prominent as many other dairy processing technologies, the heat exchanger is far from lowly. The equipment, which is used to transfer heat between two or more fluids during the cooling and heating processes without mixing the fluids together, can have a major impact on processing efficiencies and operating expenses.
A novel use of evaporation using heat exchanger technology from HRS Heat Exchangers, Hertfordshire, England, increased drying capacity for a major European processor of cheese products.
It is a transformative time for heat exchangers. The core dairy processing technology, which plays a key role in pasteurization and the production of such products as milk, cream, ice cream, yogurt and cheese, is undergoing refinements as more plant operators seek designs that enhance product quality while streamlining operating expenses.
Heat is fundamental to the food and drink industry. From cooking and drying to other treatments such as pasteurization, heat is widely used in all but the most basic food manufacturing and processing situations, in sectors as varied as dairy, fruit and vegetable processing, meat, prepared foods, brewing, and dietary supplements.
Blown gaskets. Misaligned plates. Burn-on. Heat exchangers, which transfer heat between liquids, are crucial to the processing operations of dairy plants, but can also cause a world of headaches if not maintained correctly.
Matt Hale, International Sales & Marketing Director for HRS Heat Exchangers, explains how innovations in heating, pasteurization and concentration technology can help food processors and food waste AD operators to thrive.
Heat exchanger systems enable dairy plants to effectively heat and cool their products without fouling them. Those in the market for a new heat exchanger system need to consider factors such as processing efficiency, ease of maintenance and cleaning, and cost-efficiency, while avoiding heating that ramps up too quickly, damaging heat-sensitive liquids and adding to cleaning frequency.
Family-owned Longley Farm improved the production of its dairy products by installing two HRS corrugated tube heat exchangers as part of ongoing factory upgrades.
