APPLICATIONS FOR EDIBLE OIL INDUSTRY
The edible oil industry uses natural resources like palm, olive, soy, sunflower and many more to extract oil through various processes of husking, crushing, extracting, filtering and bottling. These processes have high temperature operating conditions going up to 200 °C. However, the use of PHE’s is not only restricted to the thermal transfer during the refining process but are also used to cool the extracted oil. By reducing the energy requirements for various processes, heat exchangers reduce capital investment while also creating a sustainable production model. So, Plate Heat Exchangers are widely used in the processing of edible oil and are mainly used in the processes of degumming, neutralization, winterization, discoloration and deodorization.
In order to maintain and sustain high temperatures with low downtime requires a steady supply of replacement plates and gaskets. That’s where we come in. We are the leading suppliers and manufacturers of Plate Heat Exchanger spares for the edible oil industry. We manufacture gaskets made from specialty elastomers like NBR, NBR-HT, HNBR & VITON which can sustain high temperature conditions in oil-to-water and oil-to-steam applications for all your needs.
PHE Sealing Solutions manufactures gaskets made from specialty elastomers like NBR, NBR-HT, HNBR & VITON which can sustain high temperature conditions in oil-to-oil, oil-to-water and oil-to-steam applications for all your needs. Our gaskets are supplier to renowned oil refineries for applications of palm oil, coconut oil, Soyabean Oil, Mustard Oil etc.
