APPLICATIONS FOR SUGAR & DISTILLERY INDUSTRY
Plate heat exchangers in the Sugar and Distillery industry are the most widely used heating and cooling systems. Industry leaders choose PHE’s for their low downtime and easy replacement as sugar making is a continuous process which requires constant heat transfer from the beginning of the process to the end. Be it Sugar Refining, Cane Processing or Beet Processing, PHE’s are employed in-between processes to transfer thermal heating or cooling to the liquid before entering the subsequent tanks.
The applications of Plate- Heat Exchangers and gaskets in sugar making can be summed under four processes:
Heating and cooling clear juice
Heating mixed juice
Heating Molasses
Cooling Molasses
Condensation of flash steam
PHE sealing solutions can provide you with replacement wide-gap PHE Plates and Gaskets for the following models:
