Gasketed plate heat exchanger Gasketed plate heat exchanger can be customised to the change in the process like

increase or decrease of the capacity, material, products and temperature. It is easy to open and clean and inspect. Moreover plate heat exchanger have high heat transfer coefficient compared to other type of heat exchangers (e.g. tube heat exchangers). Capacity (capacity of one of the heat exchanger in this range) Heating/colling 4500 l/hi (different capacities available) , Price

5000 to 10000 USD approx.

UHT We choose indirect heating of milk in the tubular heat exchangers. Direct heating with steam dilutes the milk (due to condensation of the steam), water need to remove later but flow rate is higher. Indirect heating is at slower rate, but no need to remove water (example: tubular heat exchanger). Tubular heat exchanger as this can be used for higher temperatures, pressure and flow rates. More uniform heating than the plate heat exchanger. Most widely used in dairy industry for UHT treatment of milkii. Capacity ton/ 1 6 to 8 Price range per set ( $ ) 10000 60000 45000 80000
