text: Plate heat exchanger sterilizer for food products
  In the food and beverage industry, ensuring product microbiological stability is paramount. Processes must be capable of inactivating microorganisms that can lead to spoilage, while maintaining product quality and safety. High temperature sterilization methods are essential for heat-sensitive products.
  Sterilize liquids using efficient heat transfer
  The Alfa Laval Steritherm PHE is a premium plate sterilizer designed for heat-sensitive food, dairy, and beverage products. This pre-assembled, skid-mounted aseptic thermal module enhances product stability by inactivating unwanted microorganisms. Specific features include high temperature heat transfer and controlled holding times. The frame compresses stainless steel plates to form narrow channels for optimized heat transfer. The regenerative heat exchanger section pre-heats the product using direct energy recovery, reducing the need for additional heating and cooling media. The module supports automated Clean-In-Place (CIP), ensuring easy maintenance. The system offers flexibility with accurate 24/7 control and easy integration with aseptic tanks and filling machines.
