Heat Transfer Equipment

Plate and Frame Heat Exchangers
Plate and Frame heat exchangers (PHE) are used extensively in the food & beverage industry. Valutech offers Alfa Laval's complete line of PHEs designed to provide efficient heat transfer of milk, glucose, beer wort, alcohol, sugar solutions, juices, etc. The versatile Alfa Laval FrontLineŽ plate heat exchanger is the perfect choice for most pasteurization processes with its unique ClipLine plates especially designed for reliable and efficient thermal treatment of liquid food.

Compact Brazed Plate Heat Exchangers
Our compact Brazed Plate heat exchangers are used as chillers, evaporators, condensers, etc. and provide a low cost solution for many heat transfer applications in the food industry. The brazed plate heat exchangers provide a low cost alternative to the conventional shell & tube heat exchangers. The plates are constructed of thin corrugated stainless steel and are designed with a variety of pattern angles to fit the many differing applications.

AlfaNova Plate Heat Exchangers
We offer copper brazed plate heat exchangers and the new high-performance all Stainless Steel AlfaNova Plate Heat Exchanger. AlfaNova is the world's first 100% stainless steel plate heat exchanger. Extreme temperature and pressure fatique conditions that would destroy a conventional brazed heat exchanger are no match for the rugged AlfaNova. Learn More

Semi-Welded Plate Heat Exchangers
Semi-Welded plate heat exchangers are ideal for ammonia refrigeration applications in the food & beverage industry. Designed for handling aggressive media, the semi-welded plate heat exchanger consists of welded channels which alternate with traditional gasketed channels.

Scraped Surface Heat Exchanger (SSHE)
The Contherm SSHE is particularly suited for processing viscous, sticky or chunky (containing particulates) products that are to be pumped. It can be used for a broad range of products including ketchup, mayonnaise, chocolate, butter, pet food, etc..

Alfa Laval's ViscoLine
Valutech offers custom designed shell and tube heat exchangers in critical food processing applications including: Alfa Laval's ViscoLine: a highly efficient tubular heat exchanger that incorporates corrugated tubes or other advanced profiles designed to increase turbulence in the flow of the media to be cooled. This substantially increases the overall heat transfer coefficient. This turbulence also reduces the formation of any fouling layers on the inner tube surfaces, and keeps the inner tube clean. This results in the unit operating at maximum or near maximum efficiency. Learn More

Shell and Tube Heat Exchangers
We offer shell & tube heat exchangers built to ASME/TEMA with seamless tubes, electropolished tubesheets, removable heads, etc.

Stainless Steel Shell & Coil Heat Exchangers
These highly efficient shell and coil heat exchangers are ideal for steam applications because they have higher heat transfer values than conventional U-Tube heat exchangers. They take minimal floor space because they are installed vertically. Most models are in stock and can be shipped in a few hours.
