Gasketed Plate Heat Exchangers

Ketema Sondex Alfa Laval Tranter

 


Plate and frame heat exchangers are the most practical and efficient design of a heat exchanger in the market place.  The unit consists of a series of gasketed, embossed metal plates bolted together between end frames to form channels through which hot and cold media flow.  

     


The Superchanger’s plate and frame design offers many advantages over its shell and tube counterpart in that it is expandable, cleanable, compact and efficient.  The “U” values are up to five times greater than other exchangers.


Key Benefits

  • Rolled threads and zinc plating the bolts gives a stronger, corrosion resistant thread.
  • One hit die formed plates to guarantee plate matching with plates manufactured years before.
  • Flanged nozzles for easier hook up as a standard, although threaded connections and studded ports are also available.
  • Welded supports for increased structural integrity (higher I values) in industrial applications.
  • Solid-end frame design for Pharmaceutical, Food and HVAC applications.
  • Peroxide cured gaskets offer the longest life span (over sulfur cured), better compression set resistance, and higher temperature capability – up to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • 100% U.S. construction.
    Gaskets glued with Pliobond-30 which can be found in most major cities. The glue is non-hardening which makes gasket removal an easy task unlike a hardening or oven-cured glue.
  • A network of reputable service centers around the world.
  • A maintenance video tape to help the new owner gain a working knowledge of how to service the unit.
