Instant noodles, as the name suggests, are convenient for brewing/eating. Many people have no time to eat when they have no time to eat. Now it has become a "must-have for traveling".
But you must not know that plate and shell heat exchangers are used in the production of instant noodles!
Does a simple package of instant noodles go through many steps such as stirring, compounding, pressing (making) stretching (expanding), high-temperature cooking, cutting in half, seasoning, frying, and cooling?
This is just the tip of the iceberg. The complete process is:
It’s not easy to say, and it’s not difficult to say. This kind of industrialized production process can be done by large domestic instant noodle manufacturers. After all, the heat exchange after high-temperature frying is a technical difficulty. Failure to do this is a waste of resources.
, It also has a great impact on the shape/taste of instant noodles. Under such high-temperature oil heat exchange conditions, knowledgeable engineers will use plate and shell heat exchangers.
Because the plate and shell heat exchanger, as the master of the plate heat exchanger, has obvious advantages:
(1) There is no need for operating costs of spare parts.
Due to the laser welding, no glue strip is needed, the side reflects the stability of operation, the later maintenance cost is low, and it is extremely resistant to high temperature and pressure;
(2) Low fouling.
The plates are polished before laser welding, which is different from ordinary plate heat exchangers, which is convenient for welding and does not need to worry about cleaning.
(3) It has all the advantages that other ordinary heat exchangers can imagine: small floor space, high heat exchange efficiency, convenient maintenance and stable operation.
To be honest, the plate and shell heat exchanger is still a niche in the industry, because there are few manufacturers that can do it, but some large-scale instant noodle manufacturers with insight have already used it.
