Heat exchangers for cooling the sausage lines

Semi-welded plate heat exchangers from Tranter International are being used to cool the brine bath in the production of sausages for a global food manufacturer in their factory in Cheshire

Semi-welded plate heat exchangers from Tranter International are being used to cool the brine bath in the production of sausages for a global food manufacturer in their factory in Cheshire.

Tranter has supplied two units; the first replacing a competitor's equipment which had proved unsatisfactory and the second some months later when the factory expanded.

The company is a global leader in its field demanding excellence from its ingredients and equipment and the continued Tranter relationship with the Cheshire factory both through products and servicing is a testament to the Tranter reliability and efficiency.

Tranter has one of the most comprehensive ranges of gasketed plate heat exchangers in the UK, providing units which are simple to integrate within systems and easy to maintain.

Semi welded plate heat exchangers are especially designed for use with ammonia and other media for which the number of gaskets should be minimised.

The exchangers feature asymmetrical and symmetrical plates laser welded together to form a sealed channel, ensuring safe and reliable operation.

The exchangers installed at the factory are both within the sausage production line and are used to cool the salt water used in the brine bath, reducing/eliminating the need for freezing.

The Tranter laser welded design, along with specially designed double ring gaskets placed on either side of the inlet and outlet ports, ensure a safe, high resistant seal - ideal for applications such as food production where hygiene is of the utmost importance.
