A plate heat exchanger skid that heats, holds and cools liquid product continuously as it flows through to the next stage.
A plate unit does its work in a narrow gap between stacked plates, which is what makes it compact and efficient but also fussy about the product going through it. It suits thinner liquids that flow cleanly: milk, yogurt mix before culture, juice without heavy pulp. The plate pack is arranged in heating, holding and cooling sections, with a regeneration section recovering heat from the outgoing product. We specify the plate pack, the hold tube and the skid controls around your flow rate and the utilities on site.
Plate packs fouling quickly when a product has more pulp or fat than the original selection assumed
Gaskets failing early because the plate material was never matched to the product
Skids delivered without a hold tube sized for the actual flow
Steam and chilled water bills higher than expected from weak heat regeneration
Rebuilding a plate pack with parts that no longer match the original stack
Plate material and gasket type selected for the actual product chemistry
Hold section sized for the flow you will really run, not a nominal figure
Regeneration arrangement explained so running cost is visible before purchase
Skid layout drawn to the floor space available
Plate stack details recorded so future replacements match

It is driven by plate pack size and control specification and is confirmed in the quotation.
Yes, from manual valves up to a controlled skid. Tell us the level of automation you want.
Yes, and we keep your plate configuration on record so repeat orders match.
No. Single skids are normal and any condition is confirmed with the quotation.
Send the capacity duty or drawing you need for plate pasteurizers and we will match it to the factory that builds it and quote it in writing.
