Heat Exchanger

Operating principle

The construction of aseptic heat exchangers guarantees the greatest possible separation between the primary and secondary media.

Therefore, the heat exchangers are equipped with a double tubesheet, thus preventing any possibility of mixing and contaminating the processed products with the primary media.

The sterile primary media passes through seamless primary tube via the header and is cooled or heated by the secondary media.

Construction

NEUMO aseptic heat exchangers are always custom and process specific, thus satisfying the most challenging demands in compliance with your process parameters.

This flexible design reaches highest capacity through adjustment of tube lengths and numbers even if the flow rate is low. To avoid stress cracking caused by differential expansion rates, the outer housing of the heating/cooling chamber is fitted with a sophisticated and highly flexible stainless steel bellow section, guaranteeing operational safety and long life.
