Advantages of the SPX FLOW APV milk heat exchangers

1. Seals are attached to the plates without glue, using clips. They do not protrude from the plates, which reduces the risk of destruction and breakage.
2. Compact dimensions.
3. Reduced fouling, reduced cleaning and maintenance time.
4. Resistance to heat stroke. 
5. Ability to combine different gasket materials for efficient operation. 
6. Food-grade gaskets. 
7. Energy efficiency — high regeneration coefficient provides significant savings in water and steam. 
8. Reduced flushing fluid consumption due to thoughtful channel design.
