Sanitary Plate Heat Exchanger Exclusive Free-Flow Design

Competitive plate heat exchanger designs claim wide-gap advantages, but pinch points in their design can block flow and create slurry buildup. The free-flow¹s channels handle bigger particles and require less maintenance because they are a constant width.

Mueller offers the exclusive "Free-Flow" plate design which makes it possible for food processors to heat, cool, or pasteurize products containing fibers or particles that will clog conventional plate heat exchangers. This special wide channel plate is ideal for viscous liquids and products containing particulate and fibers up to 3/8" in diameter to 1" long. The "Free-Flow" can handle difficult applications such as barbecue sauce, applesauce, orange juice with pulp, baby food, and much more.
