There’s an increased focus on food safety around the world and that puts hygiene in the spotlight. At Alfa Laval, we’ve made hygiene the driving force in our product development. By leading the way in hygienic innovation, we’re helping food producers eliminate risk and safeguard product quality – easily and efficiently. To that end, we’ve created a completely new range of plate heat exchangers: the Hygienic line. In the Hygienic line, food safety has guided every detail so that each aspect of the heat exchanger design is optimized for cleanliness. At the same time, we’ve been careful not to compromise thermal efficiency – so the heating and cooling performance is superior as always. Through intense research, we’ve found new ways to optimize the flow of product and media inside the heat exchanger. Features like the EquiFlow plate pattern and SmoothPort make heating and cooling as even and efficient as possible – and both minimize fouling, which also maximizes hygiene. Those same features make the heat exchanger easier than ever to clean. That means shorter cleaning cycles, with more uptime in between. You can save time and water, knowing that your equipment is clean and your product is safe inside. Naturally, there’s a green aspect to all this too. By making your process more efficient and reducing your consumption of water, energy, and chemicals you add sustainability to your operations. So, next-level hygiene isn’t all that you get from the Hygienic line. What you get is a full package, where food safety meets total efficiency – in the process and beyond. That’s what the new Hygienic line is all about.
