Alfa Laval Inc. Gasketed Plate-and-Frame Heat Exchangers Frontline

The premium FrontLine range represents the most advanced plate heat exchanger technology available for food, beverage, dairy and other hygienic applications. Gentle, effective product treatment The Alfa Laval FrontLine range is the premier choice for hygienic processes that require optimized performance, gentle product treatment, long operating times and superior cleanability. To complement FrontLine plate heat exchangers, Alfa Laval offers the standard BaseLine plate heat exchanger range. FrontLine is the premium choice Gasketed FrontLine plate heat exchangers meet all sanitary standards and have these design features that contribute to highly efficient operation: Unique herringbone plate pattern with optimized pressing depths and plate material provides gentle, uniform heat transfer for sensitive food products. Small port holes and long, narrow plates facilitate quick and easy cleaning, usually at process ?ows. Integral glue-less gasket system made with FDA-compliant materials can operate at high pressures, are easy to maintain and have a long service life. Frames provide operation at pressures of up to 21 bar (290 psi) and are easy to disassemble to inspect, clean and service, or to modify plate configuration. Connection plates with removable double-corner options for maximum process ?exibility. Wide variety of products and processes The FrontLine plate heat exchanger range handles a broad range of demanding dairy and food and beverage applications, including: Milk and cheese milk pasteurization Ultra-high temperature sterilization Beverage and energy drink pasteurization Standard and pulpy juice pasteurization Beer wort heating and beer cooling Liquid egg processing Bottled water treatment Soups, sauces and starch heating Catsup and mustard heating and cooling Biotechnology culture/broth sterilization Pharmaceutical WFI thermal treatment Versatility for the most demanding food applications For greater flexibility in meeting specific demands, Frontline offers a range of plate types, plate materials, plate lengths and clip-on gasket materials to ensure that performance matches your exact processing requirements. Plate types FrontLine for standard duties FrontLine WideStream for fluids with stringy fibrous content, such as pulpy juice FrontLine Gemini for double-wall protection for duties that require no cross-contamination Plate materials AISI 316 Titanium Hastelloy Gasket materials Nitrile - FDA EPDM - FDA Plus the FrontLine series provides a clear path to greater capacity by simply adding more plates and can be easily modified to meet new or changing process requirements. Longer operating times, easy cleaning The optimized geometries of FrontLine plates feature excellent press depths and relatively few contact points, which prolong operating times. In addition, the unique distribution area ensures a uniform flow over the entire plate surface. Fully CIPable, FrontLine gasketed heat exchangers are easier to maintain with straightforward gaskets and closures to facilitate inspection and cleaning time. FrontLine plate heat exchanger range The Alfa Laval FrontLine series consists of four models – Front 6, 8, 10 and 15 – that feature plate ports and connections from 2” to 6” in diameter. Capacity ranges from 8,000 l/h to 130,000 l/h, depending on the application. Mechanical design pressures of up to 21 bar (290 psi) are possible, depending on the material. Operating temperature is 150°C (PED). The Front 15 model is the largest sanitary plate heat exchanger available with nearly 1 m2 (10 sq. ft.) of surface area per plate.
