FrontLine
Alfa Laval FrontLine es nuestra gama premium de intercambiadores de calor de placas para aplicaciones con las exigencias más estrictas en cuanto a control higiénico, así como tratamiento cuidadoso del producto, largo tiempo de funcionamiento y facilidad de limpieza superior. Adecuado para aplicaciones con necesidades higiénicas específicas como bebidas, lácteos y alimentos, FrontLine es la elección superior para medios sensibles al calor. Su diseño flexible facilita su reconstrucción.
Diseñado para una transferencia de calor suave y uniforme para productos higiénicos delicados
- Rendimiento higiénico superior gracias a placas desarrolladas específicamente para alimentos y otras aplicaciones higiénicas (conformes con FCM)
- Tratamiento suave y uniforme y rendimiento fiable gracias a la amplia gama de materiales y modelos de placas del intercambiador de calor.
- Configuración flexible y fácil mantenimiento para una larga vida útil
- El diseño específico resistente al ensuciamiento proporciona tiempos de funcionamiento prolongados
- La gama de placas hace que FrontLine sea fácilmente escalable para garantizar una calidad constante del producto
La gama FrontLine de Alfa Laval utiliza juntas sin cola fabricadas con materiales conformes a la FDA, de fácil mantenimiento y larga vida útil. El bastidor puede utilizarse para aplicaciones de varias secciones (por ejemplo, para pasteurización) y es fácil de desmontar para su inspección, limpieza y mantenimiento. Las esquinas de las placas de conexión son intercambiables y las placas de transferencia de calor pueden añadirse o retirarse fácilmente, por lo que resulta fácil y rápido modificarlo si cambian las condiciones del proceso.
Plate types for different hygienic needs
FrontLine plate heat exchangers are available with three different types of plates, all of which are designed for sensitive, hygienic applications and uncompromising cleanliness.
- Clip plate – has a chevron plate pattern designed for hygienic conditions. The entry points, the distribution area, and the shape and depth of the pressed plate pattern allow for optimal performance.
- Clip plate Gemini double wall – consists of two plates pressed together. This prevents cross contamination between fluids in case of leakage through the plates.
- Clip plate WideStream – has a wider plate pattern with fewer contact points, which makes it ideal for products containing pulp or fibres.
FrontLine’s plate pattern and pressing depth are designed for gentle, uniform heat treatment of sensitive dairy, food and beverage products. Examples of applications in the food industry include:
- Pasteurization of yoghurt, ice cream and beer
- Pasteurization of fruit juice with fibres
- Heating and cooling of viscous products
Alfa Laval BaseLine heat exchangers is recommended for less demanding hygienic applications.

Automatic model for easy use in pasteurization with high throughput
Alfa Laval’s FrontLine Automatic is an extended version that has a motor and a PLC based control system for automatic opening and closing of the plate heat exchanger. This is suitable for larger units in dairy pasteurization with high throughput where there is requirement for frequent inspection and cleaning.
Cómo funciona
Channels are formed between the plates and the corner ports are arranged so that the two media flow through alternate channels. The heat is transferred through the plate between the channels, where the counter-current flow helps attain the highest possible efficiency. The corrugation of the plates provides the passage between the plates, supports each plate against the adjacent one and enhances the turbulence, resulting in efficient heat transfer. Our thermal design engineers will help you design and select the model and configuration that is suitable for your application needs while delivering maximum thermal performance and minimizing pressure drop.
