Heat exchangers for the food industry

Each heat exchanger has distinctive features depending on the industry it serves. For the food industry, these features include: a special stainless steel frame construction (or plating carbon steel with a thin sheet of stainless steel), as well as specific connections (such as dairy threads, clamp connections) that ensure the necessary characteristics of all food-grade heat exchangers. «Teplо Polis» company  has extensive experience in the production of heat exchangers for various purposes. We can offer innovative technological solutions for the most energy-intensive processes. Our heat exchange equipment is used in dairy, oil and fat, sugar, alcohol industries, brewing, winemaking, and kvass production.

Heat exchangers are offered at competitive prices. Thanks to our company managers, you will always be able to find equipment profitably. We will offer you an option that fully meets the needs of your business.

What is the purpose of a food-grade heat exchanger

The field of food and beverage production and processing requires specialized equipment to perform certain technical processes. This ensures the regulated quality of the final product according to the state standards. The most common processes include pasteurization, thermal treatment, and cooling/freezing. All of these processes share the common goal of eliminating harmful or unnecessary bacteria and microorganisms, allowing the product to acquire its taste and ensuring its long-term storage.

The company “Teplо Polis” manufactures plate heat exchangers for food production using certified technologies. All heat exchangers have stainless steel plates in a fully stainless steel housing, which increases their service life and safety during operation.

Pasteurizer (for milk, beer, juice, food product)

Pasteurization is a process of thermal treatment of a product at a temperature of 60-95 °C, which ensures the destruction of pathogenic microorganisms without destroying the structure and taste characteristics. Food heat exchangers in pasteurization units provide precise temperature control, uniform heating and the possibility of its subsequent rapid reduction. This technology allows to create a product with a long shelf life: milk, beer, juices, wine.

Application:

• pasteurization of milk and cream;
• pasteurization of beer;
• heat treatment of juices, wine, syrups;
• sterilization of liquid egg products and beverages.

Advantages of heat exchangers for pasteurization:

• high degree of heat transfer;
• rapid heating and cooling of the product;
• uniform heating and reduced temperature spikes
• resistance to contamination and CIP-washability;
  compliance with HACCP and ISO 22000 sanitary requirements.

Equipment examples:

• Plate milk pasteurizer;
• heat exchanger for syrup pasteurization;
• heat exchanger for beer sterilization.

Cooler (for beer, wort, milk, food liquid, food product)

Product cooling is a critical stage at all stages of food production: from storage of raw materials to bottling of finished products. Teplo Polis” cooling heat exchangers have a plate design, developed in such a way that the processes in it take place efficiently and at the same time comply with all sanitary and hygienic norms, which are required to work with food products. Their design allows to achieve high heat dissipation rate with minimum losses and to keep the equipment microbiologically clean.

Applications:

• cooling of milk before storage;
• drastically reducing the temperature of beer wort after brewing;
• cooling of syrups and juices before packaging;
• temperature control in fermentation and ripening systems.

Design features:

• plate modular heat exchanger;
• possibility of multi-stage cooling;
• easy integration into automated lines.

Advantages:

• high energy efficiency;
• hygienic reliability;).
• compactness and ease of maintenance;
• wide operating temperature range (from +100 °C to -10 °C.

Even in everyday life we encounter coolers all the time: refrigerators, coolers, radiators, in the food industry they are often used to cool liquids, raw materials and finished food products.

Heat recovery heat exchangers

Heat recovery heat exchangers deserve special attention because they allow the energy contained in waste streams to be reused. This is particularly relevant in modern production facilities, where the aim is to reduce production costs and comply with the principles of sustainable development.

Application:

• heat recovery from steam and hot effluents;
• recovery of milk, beer, vegetable oil;
• water heating from waste product;
• increasing energy efficiency of technological processes.

Advantages of recuperation:

• saving up to 30-40 % of energy resources;
• reduced load on boiler and heating plants;
• reduced load on cooling circuits;
• environmental sustainability and emission reduction.

Sphere of application of heat exchangers

Teplo-Polis heat exchange equipment is widely used in the food industry, where precise temperature control, compliance with sanitary standards and high energy efficiency are required. Our main customers are:

• Sugar plants,
• distilleries,
• oil and fat plants,
• dairy plants,
• breweries,
• production of juices and non-alcoholic beverages,
• kvass production.

Equipment for Milk and Fermented Dairy Processing

Heat exchangers are used at all stages of dairy processing. They provide:

• heating and cooling of cream, milk, whey, and raw materials for the production of yogurt, kefir, and ice cream;
• pasteurisation of milk, cream, and other dairy products to ensure microbiological safety and extend shelf life.

The equipment is manufactured in a hygienic design with the possibility of integration into CIP cleaning systems.

Equipment for Processing Vegetable Oils

In the production of vegetable oils, heat exchangers are used for the following technological processes:

• heating prior to processes such as dehydration, deaeration, neutralisation, bleaching, deodorisation, and winterisation of oils;
• cooling before and after deodorisation and during winterisation.

Thanks to resistance to aggressive media and high temperatures, Teplo-Polis equipment ensures stable operation even under the most demanding conditions.

Equipment for Brewing and Fermentation Products

Heat exchangers are key elements in brewing processes. They provide:

• cooling (yeast, “green” beer, hopped wort);
• heating (filtered wort before the boiling process);
• pasteurisation of finished beer or yeast to stabilise the product.

Our equipment is adapted for automated lines and complies with sanitary safety requirements.

Equipment for Alcoholic and Non-Alcoholic Beverages

Production lines handling liquid products use heat exchangers for heating and cooling juices, water, wine drinks, liqueurs, sauces, egg mixtures, fruit and vegetable purees, pulp, and syrups.
The equipment is selected taking into account the viscosity, acidity, and thermal sensitivity of the product, ensuring the preservation of taste, structure, and organoleptic properties.

To buy a heat exchanger for the food industry

The hygienic plate-type heat exchanger copes effectively with the set tasks and allows to create conditions for recovery of up to 92 percent of heat and more. Thanks to this there is a significant saving of money for food producers. Thermal processing of the product takes place in the softest possible mode, without sharp overcooling or overheating.

Heat exchangers from the company “Teplo-Polis” can recover up to 92% of heat, which provides a significant reduction in energy costs and production costs. This is especially important in continuous cycles, where even a slight deviation in temperature can affect the final product.
We offer a customized approach to every project. As a manufacturer of heat exchange equipment, our company is ready to take into account any technical requirements of the customer. For example:

• production of a four-section milk pasteurizer with homogenization output;
• production of a two-section beer wort cooler for a brewery;
• selection of configuration for CIP-washing and work in automated lines.

If you are planning to buy a heat exchanger for the food industry, we are ready to provide full support – from selection to start-up and service. The selection of equipment is based on:

• viscosity and composition of the product,
• the acidity of the medium,
• sensitivity to heat,
• temperature and pressure in the system.

This guarantees reliable operation of the heat exchanger, preservation of organoleptic properties of the product and compliance with the requirements of HACCP and other food standards.
