Ross HX > Industry > Food and Beverage Processing

What challenges are you facing in your industry?

The FOOD & BEVERAGE industry faces key challenges, including fouling (build-up of dairy, protein, or sugar), which reduces efficiency, increases pressure drops, and promotes bacterial growth. Other major issues include maintaining gasket integrity for sanitation, corrosion from acidic products, and unexpected downtime due to cleaning.

1.

are you experiencing Fouling and Reduced Heat Transfer:

 Fouling in narrow channels of plate heat exchangers reduces heat transfer and increases pumping power.

2.

ARE YOU EXPERIENCING EROSION AND HIGH-VELOCITY CORROSION?

Improper cleaning of tight spaces is leading to thermophilic microorganisms

 

3.

Are you experiencing Gasket Failure and Maintenance?

Gaskets are degrading from high temperatures, pressure, and CIP chemicals, causing your hear exchanger to leaks and contamination

 

4.

Are you experiencing Corrosion from Acidic Ingredients?

High acidity from juices, sodas, and sports drinks is corroding your stainless steel plates.

 

5.

Are you Experiencing High-Viscosity Limitations?

Due to the thick products, it is difficult to pump through tight patterns.

 

6.

Are you Experiencing negative results from your current  (CIP) Optimization?

Effective cleaning to meet regulatory standards is challenging without damaging gaskets or equipment
