Food-Dedicated Plate Heat Exchanger for Efficient Thermal Processing

Hisaka Plate Heat Exchanger for Food (FX Series)

Hisaka Plate Heat Exchanger (FX Series) is a food-dedicated plate heat exchanger designed to solve thermal processing challenges in food production lines. With optimized plate design and efficient heat transfer capabilities, the FX series enables rapid heating and cooling of liquid foods while maintaining product quality, flavor, and nutritional value for beverages, dairy products, and liquid ingredients.

Key Features

✓ Food-Dedicated Plate Design

Specialized plate configuration optimized for food processing applications. The design minimizes product hold-up, prevents clogging, and ensures easy cleaning (CIP) for hygienic production that meets food safety standards.

✓ High Heat Transfer Efficiency

Optimized heat transfer plates maximize thermal efficiency while minimizing energy consumption. The plate pattern creates turbulent flow for rapid, uniform heating and cooling of liquid products.

✓ Solves Production Line Problems

Designed to solve common food production challenges including fouling, clogging, uneven heating, and product degradation. The FX series handles viscous products and products with small particulates effectively.

✓ Compact & Modular Design

Space-efficient design requires minimal floor space compared to tubular heat exchangers. Modular plate configuration allows capacity adjustment by adding or removing plates as production needs change.

✓ Easy Maintenance & Cleaning

Openable frame design enables easy access for inspection, cleaning, and plate replacement. Compatible with CIP (Clean-in-Place) systems for efficient sanitation without disassembly.

✓ Versatile Applications

Suitable for heating, cooling, pasteurization, and heat recovery across multiple industries including beverages, dairy, brewing, and liquid food processing.

Working Principle

The Plate Heat Exchanger operates through efficient counter-current flow:

1

Product Inlet

Liquid food product enters the heat exchanger through inlet ports. Flow is distributed evenly across multiple plate channels.

2

Heat Exchange

Product flows through alternating channels between heated/cooled media. Counter-current flow maximizes temperature differential and heat transfer efficiency.

3

Turbulent Flow

Corrugated plate pattern creates turbulent flow, enhancing heat transfer and preventing product buildup on plate surfaces.

4

Temperature Control

Product reaches target temperature (heating or cooling) through efficient heat exchange. Precise temperature control maintains product quality.

5

Product Outlet

Treated product exits the heat exchanger at controlled temperature, ready for next processing stage (filling, packaging, storage).

6

Heat Recovery (Option)

Regeneration section recovers heat from hot product to pre-heat incoming cold product, reducing energy consumption by up to 90%.

Applications

Hisaka Plate Heat Exchanger (FX Series) is widely used across food and beverage industries:

🥤 Beverages

Bottled water, tea, juice, coffee, soda (syrup), sports drinks, and energy drinks requiring pasteurization or temperature control.

🥛 Dairy Products

Milk, cream, condensed milk, yogurt, ice cream mix, and dairy-based beverages requiring pasteurization and cooling.

Brewing & Alcohol

Soy sauce, noodle soup, sake, cloudy sake, amazake, liqueur, wine, whisky, shochu, and beer processing.

Liquid Sugar & Sweeteners

Liquid sugar, glucose, fructose, honey, syrup, and sweetener solutions requiring heating or cooling.

Soups & Sauces

Various soup solutions, broth, stock, sauces, and liquid seasonings requiring thermal processing.

🧴 Food Additives

Enzyme solutions, vitamin premixes, flavorings, and liquid food additives requiring temperature control.

Advantages

⚡ High Thermal Efficiency

Plate design achieves heat transfer coefficients 3-5 times higher than shell-and-tube exchangers, reducing required surface area and energy consumption.

Low Product Hold-up

Minimal product volume inside exchanger reduces product loss during changeover and cleaning, important for high-value ingredients.

🔧 Flexible Capacity

Modular design allows capacity adjustment by adding or removing plates without replacing the entire unit.

🧼 Easy Cleaning (CIP)

Smooth plate surfaces and optimized flow channels enable effective CIP cleaning, reducing downtime and labor costs.
