Sanitary Shell & Tube

Sanitary Shell and Tube Heat Exchangers. These heat exchangers are identical in operation to standard shell and tube exchangers. The differences are found in the elements of design such as the selection of materials, usually stainless steel or other high-allow material; the use of highly polished surfaces to minimize product buildup; and the implementation of design features that allow free-draining and easy cleaning.
