Food and beverage Edible oils.

Our SIGMA plate heat exchangers offer significant benefits for the edible oil industry, as they can be used at high temperatures up to 430°F (220°C). Our all-welded SIGMAWIG plate heat exchangers are perfect for more demanding applications, raising the temperature limit to 570°F (300°C).

Our asbestos-free, compressed fiber gaskets, coupled with a unique design of the gasket area in the plate, ensure long-term process safety in these high-temperature applications. For medium-temperature applications, we offer elastomeric gaskets, which can also be supplied in an adhesive-free fixing design.

Due to their mild handling process and relatively small size, our plate heat exchangers are a highly efficient solution for processing edible oils.

Typical applications

  • Cooling and heating of edible oils
  • Cooling of fatty acids
  • Heat recovery in the refining process
  • Wintering of edible oils
