Industrial Heat Exchangers
Heating, cooling, and heat recovery start with the right equipment for your process. Fischer Process Industries helps you evaluate APV heat exchangers and related thermal-processing options for industrial, food, and beverage applications.

Match the exchanger to the process
Compare the three equipment types below with your fluid properties, thermal duty, cleaning needs, and available space. Performance and suitability depend on the selected model and operating conditions.
Plate heat exchangers
APV plate heat exchangers provide compact liquid-to-liquid heat transfer. Accessible plate packs support inspection and cleaning, while suitable configurations allow capacity adjustments.
Discuss fluid compatibility, gasket materials, fouling, and hygienic requirements.
Scraped surface heat exchangers
For viscous products and duties prone to surface buildup, scraped surface designs can support heat transfer while moving product along the heated or cooled surface.
Discuss viscosity, particle size, product sensitivity, and cleaning procedures.
Tubular heat exchangers
APV ParaTube configurations offer an alternative for products whose flow characteristics or particles call for a tubular design.
Discuss product properties, required temperatures, pressure limits, and maintenance access.
What to include with your request
- Product or process fluid, viscosity, and solids content
- Flow rate and inlet and target outlet temperatures
- Available heating or cooling utility and its temperatures
- Operating pressure and allowable pressure drop on each side
- Material compatibility and cleaning requirements
- Installation space, existing equipment details, and project timing
Plan for operation and maintenance
Heat-transfer performance is only part of the decision. Consider access for inspection, expected fouling, cleaning cycles, utility demand, and future capacity needs.
Send your operating data and any available drawings or equipment nameplate photos. Our team can help organize the next steps and confirm product availability for your location.
