Heat Exchanger (Plate Heat Exchanger)
Plate heat exchangers are highly efficient devices consisting of stainless steel plates arranged in parallel, designed to rapidly heat or cool milk in dairy processing plants.
Applications
Shock Cooling: Immediately lowering the temperature of freshly milked milk to 4°C before it enters the collection tank.
Pasteurization: Rapidly heating milk to 72–85°C to eliminate harmful bacteria.
Fermentation Preparation: Rapidly cooling pasteurized milk to the fermentation temperature for yogurt or cheese (42–45°C) in a very short time.
Key Features
Material: All plates and body components in contact with milk are made of AISI 316 grade stainless steel.
Plate Structure: Special channels (herringbone pattern) are present on the plates to increase the heat transfer surface area.
Cleaning: Removable models (with gaskets) are suitable for manual cleaning, while fixed models are compatible with CIP (Clean-in-Place) systems.
Estimated Prices (2024–2025)
Heat exchanger prices vary depending on the number of plates, plate size, and fluid flow rate (liters per hour):
Capacity (Liters/Hour) Application Estimated Price Range
500 - 1,000 L/h Cooling / Heating 45,000 TL - 75,000 TL
2,000 - 3,000 L/h Industrial Cooling 85,000 TL - 130,000 TL
5,000 L/h + Complete Line / Pasteurization 180,000 TL - 300,000 TL+
