Plate Heat Exchangers - All Stainless Frames
Plate Heat Exchangers (PHE) have been used since the 1960's by the commercial food and beverage industries for a range of heating, pasteurizing and cooling duties associated with food, beverage, pharmaceutical and other clean room processing.
The reasons for using PHE's as opposed to the alternative Shell and Tube are hygiene, efficiency, ease of cleaning, space and economy savings. In recent years the increasing demands of non food processing industries such as chemical processing and in certain metal refining industries has seen the adoption of full stainless frames.
Plate heat exchangers consist of a series of corrugated plates with a peripheral gasket that are held within a steel frame. All liquid contact surfaces are manufactured in stainless steel that eliminates corrosion due to the immediate environment.

Size Range
Solid SUS304 25 to 80mm Connection
Clad Frames 100 to 300mm Connection
Plate Selection
AISI 316L in 0.6mm thickness is the minimum standard quality
for robust performance. Titanium, Hastalloy and many other
pressable steel grades are also available on request.
Heat Recovery:
The design of the system calls for a close approach temperature to
maximize the use of low cost energy. PHE's are the only heat exchangers that can meet these high requirements.
Heating and Cooling Duties:
The PHE has a low hold up volume, which enables it to be used in situations where temperature control is an exacting requirement.

Performance:
Backed by a large engineering based manufacturer with the newest plate presses in the industry. Extensive R&D is continuing to ensure that an ever larger range of units is made available to meet customer requirements exactly. Thermal Calculations are undertaken using advanced industry standard parameters. Extensive contacts and reference sites in countries such as Kuwait, Taiwan, Thailand, South Korea over 25 years, in the most exacting industries is testament to the long term quality and performance of these world class Plate Heat Exchanges.
Retro Fit Units
For replacing existing Plate Heat Exchangers, without any pipe work rework. A tremendous saving in time and capital expenditure.
Cleaning In Place:
Compact design and high quality heat transfer surfaces ensures that trouble free C.I.P can be performed on any unit. Pre fitting of C.I.P. connections is available for every unit.
Steam for Hot Wash Down Water:
The versatility of the PHE enables the full utilization of available steam, to provide low cost hot water and for general duties.
Typical Applications
Pasteurizing of Milk, Cream, Beer Fruit Juice and Drinks Wine and other Alcoholic Beverages Carbonated Soft Drinks Chemical Processing Pharmaceutical and other clean room processing. Zinc, Lead, uranium, copper production and many more.
