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.

As a relatively stable Newtonian fluid, liquid milk presents few handling challenges, something which has resulted in the use of simple plate-type heat exchangers in the majority of dairies. However, other dairy products, such as yogurt, butter, curds and cheese can all vary according to temperature and, if handled incorrectly, may have their key textural parameters damaged by routine processing.

Dairy plant managers work to keep their processing equipment running as frequently as possible to optimize plant efficiency and minimize operating costs.

Proper cleaning and sanitizing of heat exchangers keeps contaminants out of fluid milk. Equipment makers talk about best practices in CIP and energy efficiency.

Equipment makers have designed pumps, mixers and heat exchangers for high throughput and reduced operating costs.

Martin Brothers stocks all makes and models of nickel scraped surface heat exchangers with a re-chromed inside diameter tube.

SPX released new metal detectable mutator blades for its Votator scraped surface heat exchangers from the Waukesha Cherry-Burrell brand. Available

Asahi/America Inc., in conjunction with Polytetra GmbH, offers all-thermoplastic, corrosion-resistant heat exchangers that are designed and built per customer specification.
