Key features and advantages of the Alfa Laval Pharma-line:
🔹 Double-Tube Sheet Design: Prevents cross-contamination between the service medium and the process product. The product flows inside seamless tubes, while the service (heating/cooling) medium circulates around the outside inside the shell. In the rare event of a leak, this design enables immediate visual detection to safeguard product integrity.
🔹 Optimal operation: Capable of operating at pressures up to 15 bar and temperatures up to 200°C, handling demanding thermal utility and process requirements. Optimized internal flow geometry ensures minimal pressure drop along the main product/utility line, saving pumping energy.
🔹 Easy Installation & Maintenance: Compact design allows for effortless integration into existing skid units or utility lines with simplified routine maintenance.
🔹 Optimal Hygienic Construction: Engineered for strict sanitary environments, featuring smooth surface finishes, a dead-spot-free design, full drainability on the product side, and integrated vents/drains on the utility side.
🔹 Compliance & Full Traceability: Designed to exceed ASME BPE hygienic standards and supported by comprehensive documentation packages for compliance in USP and cGMP regulated environments.
The product range is available in two main configurations:
-
- Pharma-line S: Standardized models for quick availability and reliable performance.
- Pharma-line P: Custom-engineered configurations tailored to specific process demands.
Whether for WFI, Purified Water (PW) loops, or direct product thermal treatment, the Alfa Laval Pharma-line provides an ideal, trustworthy heat exchange solution to maximize safety, process stability, and regulatory compliance.
