Heat Exchanger for Sugar Industry
Optimized Thermal Processing for High-Viscosity Sugar Syrups
Discuss with Engineers
Technical Overview
In the sugar industry, thermal management dictates the overall efficiency and steam economy of the mill. Sugar juices are highly viscous and prone to severe scaling and fouling. PAL ENGINEERS supplies specially designed Wide-Gap Plate Heat Exchangers and heavy-duty Shell & Tube evaporators/juice heaters. Our designs ensure optimal flow velocities to minimize scale buildup while maximizing heat recovery from low-pressure vapors.
Engineering Specifications
| Core Equipment | Raw juice heaters, clear juice heaters, vacuum pan condensers, falling film evaporators |
| Fouling Management | Wide-gap plates (free-flow), increased tube pitch, high-velocity design |
| Material | Stainless Steel (SS304/316) to prevent product discoloration and ensure hygiene |
| Steam Economy | Designed for very close approach temperatures to utilize low-grade bleed vapors |
Key Engineering Features
Wide-Gap Free-Flow Design
Our Wide-Gap GPHEs feature plate corrugations that prevent fibers and high-viscosity massecuite from clogging the channels.
Easy Mechanical Cleaning
Sugar scaling is inevitable; our units are designed for rapid disassembly (GPHE) or straight-tube access (Fixed Tubesheet) for fast turnaround during maintenance stops.
