Gasketed plate heat exchangers have long been valued in the food industry for providing the most energy-efficient and reliable performance. Too bad, it only applied to liquids with small amounts of pulp and fibres. Until now. With the hygienic WideGap, we introduce the first plate heat exchanger that can be used instead of a shell & tube to handle highly fibrous fluids in hygienic applications. Like all gasketed plate heat exchangers, the hygienic WideGap is compact, makes your installation more flexible and offers simple cleaning and maintenance. But the big win is the improved efficiency which saves both energy and operating costs. When you put the plates together in a symmetric design, the hygienic WideGap enables product-to-product use, with eliminated heat loss. An asymmetric design makes it possible to heat or cool products with really large particles. And the unique plate pattern ensures high thermal efficiency, in any installation. A producer of fruit purees in northern Italy has had the hygienic WideGap in place since 2019. By replacing the traditional shell & tube, they were able to reduce the steam consumption with 45% and save up to 15% pump power. Reach out to discover how you can get more heat recovery and energy savings through thick and thin.
