Southwest Thermal’s heat exchangers are in use by pharmaceutical companies throughout the United States and Canada in applications where cleanability and surface finish are of the utmost importance. Each exchanger is designed and constructed under one or more of the following certifications: ASME, 3-A, TEMA, PED, and BPE. A CRN (Canadian Registration Number) can be obtained for any of the Canadian provinces
Our pharmaceutical grade exchangers are designed with sanitary connections on the process side using USP Class VI O-rings. Materials for the O-rings are carefully selected to be compatible with process fluids. When needed, product contact surfaces may be mechanically polished to a 10 Ra finish or better and then electro-polished for maximum corrosion resistance and sanitary performance.
