Plate Concepts, Inc. products

Our Free Flow Plate Heat Exchangers maximize heat recovery from fibrous or viscous fluids with minimal maintenance.  Free Flow or Wide-Gap plates are specially designed with no metal to metal contact and large gaps (5 mm to 11.5 mm) between plates in the liquid area – allowing large particles to pass through the exchanger with minimal risk of blockage.

The double wall plate heat exchanger provides extra protection against cross contamination of the process. Each double wall plate actually consists of two identical plates seal welded together at the 4 port openings. A small air gap between each plate pair vents to atmosphere so that if a leakage does occur, it will be vented between the double walls for immediate visual detection.

Semi-welded plate heat exchangers are used for handling aggressive media, such as ammonia and other refrigerants, which cannot be readily sealed by conventional elastomer gaskets.
