Gasketed plate-and-frame heat exchangers are commonly used in the process of pasteurization, including the process of pasteurizing milk through the method known as the "batch method" or "batch pasteurization." In this process, the GPHE plays a crucial role in heating the milk to a specific temperature and then rapidly cooling it down to prevent bacterial growth.
During pasteurization, the milk is heated to a temperature of around 71.7°C (161°F) for a minimum of 15 seconds to kill harmful bacteria while preserving the taste and nutritional value of the milk. The gasketed plate and frame heat exchangers efficiently transfer heat between the milk and the heating or cooling medium, ensuring precise temperature control and uniform heating or cooling of the milk.
The design of GPHE allows for high heat transfer rates and efficient energy utilization, making them ideal for pasteurization processes where precise temperature control is essential. The compact size and modular design of gasketed plate and frame heat exchangers also make them easy to clean and maintain, ensuring hygienic operation in food processing applications like pasteurization.
Overall, GPHE is a reliable and efficient solution for pasteurization processes, including the important application of batch pasteurization in the dairy industry. Their ability to provide precise temperature control, high heat transfer rates, and ease of maintenance make them a valuable component in ensuring the safety and quality of pasteurized products like milk.

The semi-welded plate heat exchanger is used when GPHEs are not suitable for one of the process media, such as sugar, starch, sweetener, and beverage production.
