Teralba Industries' plate heat exchangers

Teralba Industries has released a range of plate heat exchangers designed for pasteurising and general cooling and heating of beverages, food, dairy, brewery and viscous products.

With a compact footprint, units can be sized and configured for specific applications. The heat exchangers can be selected from models designed for flow rates as low as 200 L/h, increasing up to 1.2 million L/h.

Available with all stainless steel components, the plate heat exchangers are designed to provide hygienic and low-maintenance operation to food and beverage manufacturers. The stainless steel reduces the need for epoxy coatings or spray paints, used with traditional mild steel frames.

The company claims the stainless steel construction provides several other advantages, including lower maintenance costs, aesthetics, elimination of painting and a sanitary finish with high corrosive resistance. The units include plate materials, such as grade 316 stainless steel and titanium, to resist corrosion.

The product range includes: the FrontLine Series, constructed of premium stainless steel; the BaseLine Series, constructed of standard stainless steel; the TS6-M, which includes tall and short models; and AlfaNova welded plate heat exchangers.

The exchangers are suitable for use in production of soups, sauces, jams, starch heating, wine, fruit juices and similar food products.
