Vegetable Oil Heat Exchangers

Vegetable oil heat exchangers deliver efficient heating, cooling, and heat recovery in edible oil refining, including deodorization, bleaching, and neutralization. Designed for food-grade hygiene, they handle diverse viscosities while preserving oil quality, flavor, and clarity in sanitary processing.

Vegetable Oil Heat Exchangers

Engineered for strict sanitary compliance, these exchangers optimize thermal transfer in vegetable oil refining. Hot or cold oil flows against heating/cooling media across hygienic surfaces, enabling precise temperature control and high energy recovery. Stock and custom units available in various sizes, materials, and configurations. Contact our experts today.

Certified: TEMA, ASME, 3-A, PED, CRN compliant options.
Available Options: CIP-compatible designs, sight glasses, level ports, electro-polished surfaces.

High Quality: 304L, 316L stainless steel or alloys for corrosion resistance and durability.
Efficiency: High turbulence and recovery reduce energy costs and improve refining performance.

Configurations: Plate & frame, shell & tube, 1-pass/multi-pass, brazed plate.
Applications: Preheating, cooling, economizers, deodorization heating, fatty acid recovery support.

Our Vegetable Oil Heat Exchangers

These exchangers enable indirect heat transfer between oils and media, supporting key refining stages like preheating crude oil, inter-stage cooling, and energy-efficient recovery from hot streams. Constructed with food-grade stainless steel for hygiene and longevity under high temperatures/viscosities. Optimized sizing, turbulent flow, and CIP features deliver consistent quality, reduced oxidation, premium clarity/flavor, and lower operational costs in edible oil processing.

Sanitary heat exchangers heat or cool vegetable oils during refining stages like degumming, bleaching, neutralization, and deodorization preparation. They ensure precise temperature control, high efficiency, and hygiene to maintain oil purity and quality.

Common types for edible oil refining include:

Plate Heat Exchangers: High-efficiency for heating/cooling, turbulent flow, 3-A sanitary plates, handle varying viscosities.
Shell & Tube: Robust for high-temperature duties, customizable, sanitary designs with electro-polishing.
Economizers/Recovery Units: Recover heat from hot refined oil to preheat incoming crude, cutting energy use.
Final Heaters: Bring oil to deodorization temperatures (220-260°C) efficiently.
Scraped-Surface: For viscous or particulate oils where fouling occurs.

They provide controlled heating/cooling, maximize energy recovery, minimize oxidation, ensure consistent quality, and meet food safety/hygiene standards in refining processes.
