Industrial heat exchange
High performance, efficiency and ZIEMEX know-how
Industrial heat exchange consists in transferring thermal energy between two fluids or between a wall and a product.
In industry, controlling heat exchange is a key factor for efficiency and durability. Whether for heating, cooling, condensing, evaporating or keeping a product at a constant temperature, thermal solutions directly influence the quality of processes, energy costs and the safety of installations.
ZIEMEX has been developing unique expertise for over 30 years in the area of heat exchange applied to tanks, reactors, fermenters and processing equipment. (cuves, réacteurs, fermenteurs et équipements process.)
Thanks to our single embossed pillow plate technology, our welded plate heat exchangers, shell and tube exchangers or those incorporated into complete skids, we have the ability to guarantee measurable thermal performance suited to your industrial requirements.

Thermal challenges
for each industrial sector
Control over heat exchange plays a central part in the performance and sustainability of industrial processes. Each industry has its own challenges due to the products handled, regulatory requirements and the search for energy efficiency. ZIEMEX helps customers achieve this optimisation by adapting its thermal technologies to each production environment.
- Food & Beverage & Brewery: optimization of cooling cycles to preserve microbiological quality.
- Pharmaceutical & Biotech: strict control of thermal profiles to preserve the integrity of sensitive molecules.
- Chimie : maîtrise de la condensation des fluides process selon température et pression.
- Petrochemicals: management of high temperatures and extreme pressures
- Sugar and distillery: validation of our heat transfer coefficients for evaporation using our pilot station
