Heating and Cooling Solutions for the Personal Care Industry

Temperature control is crucial in the personal care industry, ensuring product consistency, safety, and high quality. From lotions and creams to mouthwash and fragrances, Enerquip’s shell and tube heat exchangers provide the reliability you need to maintain precise temperatures throughout your manufacturing process.

Precise temperature regulation is vital for processes like mixing, blending, emulsifying, and filling. Enerquip’s heat exchangers ensure that manufacturers can maintain consistent product temperatures, leading to uniform blending and consistent product quality. Whether producing small or large batches, our exchangers help achieve the desired texture, safety, and performance every time.

Process Applications for Personal Care Manufacturing

Enerquip heat exchangers are versatile and play a critical role in various processes within personal care product manufacturing, including:

Pure Water Heating and Cooling

Pure water is integral to personal care manufacturing, serving as a base for products or for cleaning production equipment. To ensure purity and quality, systems use techniques like:

• Distillation: Enerquip exchangers heat water to vaporize and remove impurities before condensing it back into a purified state.
• Reverse Osmosis: By forcing water through a semi-permeable membrane, contaminants are filtered out. Shell and tube heat exchangers maintain optimal temperatures to prevent membrane fouling.
• Storage and Recirculation: Heat exchangers maintain high temperatures during recirculation to prevent microbial growth and ensure safe storage.

Other Heating and Cooling Applications

Enerquip heat exchangers also support a wide range of additional processes for personal care products:

• Evaporation: Efficiently remove excess water to thicken products.
• Condensing: Cool volatile components into a collectable liquid form.
• Pasteurization: Eliminate bacteria in liquid ingredients to improve safety and shelf life.
• Waste Heat Recovery: Recycle excess heat for use elsewhere in production.
• Trim Cooling: Counteract excess heat from pumps or valves.

Heat Exchanger Design for Personal Care

Enerquip heat exchangers are designed to meet the rigorous demands of personal care manufacturing. They offer reliability, efficiency, and ease of maintenance.

Our standard sanitary heat exchanger design includes: 

• Straight tube or U-tube configuration
• 304L stainless steel tube side material
• Welded, bright annealed tubing
• 40Ra exterior finish

For more stringent, high-purity requirements, we offer the following upgrades:

• Double tube sheets for protection against cross-contamination of process fluids between the shell and tubes
• 316L stainless steel or higher alloy materials
• Electropolish tube finishes for improved cleanliness
• Passivated product surfaces to resist corrosion
• Insulation jackets for improved thermal efficiency
