Analysis of the difference between tubular and plate sterilizers

Tubular and plate-type sterilizers differ in several key aspects:

1. **Cost**: Tubular sterilizers are significantly more expensive, approximately 10 times the price of plate-type sterilizers.

2. **Sterilization Effectiveness**: Tubular sterilizers have a rapid sterilization effect and are effective against all microorganisms. They can also remove odors and are unaffected by water hardness.

3. **Service Life**: Tubular sterilizers generally have a longer service life compared to plate-type sterilizers.

4. **Applications**: Tubular sterilizers are widely used in fully automated systems for both aseptic and non-aseptic heat treatment of liquid foods. They can handle a wide range of product viscosities, including fibers and particles.

5. **Production Capacity**: Huihe Machinery's tubular UHT sterilizers offer production capacities ranging from 1 to 30 tons/hour, with typical sterilization temperatures between 90°C and 140°C.

6. **Control System**: Tubular sterilizers are equipped with internationally renowned control components, including a PLC controller and industrial control panel, steam pressure reducing and regulating valves, diverter valves, pressure stabilizing valves, material pumps, and hot water pumps.

7. **Plate-Type Sterilizer Components**: Plate-type sterilizers consist of a plate heat exchanger, a centrifugal sanitary pump, a material balancing cylinder, and a hot water system (including a hot water cylinder, hot water pump, and hot water heater). They also feature a PLC controller and industrial control panel, along with a pneumatic three-way reflux valve and connecting piping.

8. **Applications**: Plate-type sterilizers are commonly used in the food industry for sterilizing or ultra-high-temperature sterilization of heat-sensitive liquids such as milk, soy milk, juice drinks, ice cream, wine, and beer.
