Applications within the food and beverage industry<\/a><\/strong> widely employ heat exchangers<\/strong><\/a>, both plate heat exchangers<\/strong><\/a> or shell and tube exchangers<\/strong><\/a>. This is due to the fact that food products, and beverages such as beer and wine<\/strong>, are all subject to special thermal treatments required for their processing<\/strong>, in order to achieve defined temperatures to enable some reactions or stabilizations, or also in order to ensure their correct conservation.<\/p>\n

For example, once the hopping cycle is done, beer<\/strong><\/a> has to be cooled before it can be introduced into fermentation equipments, bringing it at the correct temperature required for the fermentation process<\/strong>. Wine<\/strong> is subject to aging processes, or also pasteurization, and each thermal treatment is necessary to obtain organoleptic characteristics<\/strong> that make it a fine quality product.<\/p>\n

Another example is milk<\/strong>, which has to be pasteurized using thermal cycles at high temperature<\/strong> and then at low temperature, and then a conservation phase for a certain period of time at a specific temperature.<\/p>\n

This is to explain that all of these products are subject to thermal treatments aimed to enhance their characteristics<\/strong> or also to guarantee their proper long-term conservation and food safety<\/strong> of the product on the shelf of a store.<\/p>\n
