Plate Type Heat Exchanger
As a core thermal component of the **Weishu Milk Production Line**, our high-performance plate type heat exchangers are engineered for precise temperature control. They deliver exceptional hygiene, energy savings, and thermal efficiency across all critical stages of sanitary dairy processing.
High-Performance Plate Type Heat Exchangers for Dairy Processing
In a complete **Weishu Milk Production Line**, plate type heat exchangers are vital for maintaining product quality and operational efficiency. By providing highly turbulent, non-mixing heat transfer between fluids, these exchangers optimize heating and cooling cycles, ensuring that every drop of milk is processed under strict sanitary conditions while minimizing overall utility costs.
High-Temperature Short-Time (HTST) Pasteurization
In the **Weishu Milk Production Line**, pasteurization is the most critical step to eliminate harmful pathogens while preserving milk flavor and nutrients. Our sanitary plate type heat exchangers are configured with multiple thermal sections to heat the milk to 72°C-75°C, hold it for 15 seconds, and instantly chill it to storage temperature. Featuring a thermal regeneration efficiency of up to 95%, the cold incoming milk is pre-heated by the hot pasteurized milk exiting the holding tubes. This clever design drastically cuts steam and chilled water consumption, making the pasteurization process exceptionally cost-effective and reliable.
Rapid Raw Milk Reception and Cooling
The moment raw milk enters the **Weishu Milk Production Line** from transport tankers, its temperature must be dropped under 4°C immediately to stop bacterial activity. Our gasketed plate type heat exchangers are designed with highly corrugated stainless steel plates that maximize the heat transfer coefficient. Using a two-stage cooling setup—first with ambient well water, then with chilled water—the raw milk is cooled in seconds. This rapid, highly turbulent thermal transfer prevents milk fat degradation, protects product quality from the very start of the process, and lightens the cooling load on the downstream insulated storage tanks.
CIP (Clean-in-Place) Solution Heating
Maintaining strict biological hygiene is non-negotiable for dairy processors. The **Weishu Milk Production Line** utilizes automated Clean-in-Place (CIP) systems to sanitize pipes and tanks, which requires large volumes of water and cleaning chemicals heated to precise temperatures (usually 65°C to 85°C). Our plate type heat exchangers act as highly efficient steam-to-water heaters for the CIP loop. Their compact design allows them to fit easily into space-restricted CIP skids. By utilizing steam to heat the washing liquids instantly on-demand, they eliminate the need for large hot water storage tanks, ensuring consistent sanitization temperatures and minimizing downtime between production batches.
