Heat exchange solutions for the food & beverage industry
Our heat exchangers, designed specifically to meet the needs of the food and beverage industry, help our customers to reduce downtime and increase productivity. By increasing the stability and integrity of production processes, our equipment also improves food safety, protecting both the health of the end customers and the reputation of our clients.
Keeping food fresh and healthy
At Sterling Thermal Technology, we understand that food and beverage manufacturers have priorities around food safety and productivity. Therefore, we are able to meet your requirements by proposing customised hygienic heat exchangers designed to help you maintain the highest standards while improving performance. We will start by listening to what is important to you and reviewing your specifications. Then, we will design the solution accordingly and explain our approach. We will continue to communicate with you through the manufacturing phase.
To give you a quick overview, we offer safety double wall tube heat exchangers to protect against cross-contamination. We also offer a full range of material grades from stainless steel finishes including Duplex, Super Duplex to titanium. In addition, we can provide a range of units capable of handling solids such as pulp and fibre particles. With this choice of combinations, we can always supply the right solution for your particular environment.
What’s more. Our heat exchange solutions are designed to reduce energy, water and steam usage, which saves you money while also protecting the environment.
Innovating to meet evolving requirements
At Sterling Thermal Technology, we are continuously improving our heat exchange solutions and processes, helping you to increase process capacity and boost your productivity levels. We also introduce new ideas and technologies, which enable you to improve your operating efficiency. For example, one of our innovations introduced a new surface that reduced airside pressure loss whilst increasing the available heat transfer surface area.

“When considering an increase in throughput on our spray dryer facility it was important to consider the reliability of the air heaters. We manufacture our powdered products in batches; therefore, the exchangers would be subject to significant thermal stress over their lifetime. In addition to the increase in production, we would also be operating the process at higher steam temperatures to enable us to achieve the required drying times. Under such conditions, we needed a robust and proven design of the heat exchangers. Having seen the level of engineering incorporated into Sterling TT’s model, as well as talking to their other clients who operate similar processes, we were convinced Sterling TT steam air heaters were the best available.”
