PAL Certified Quality
Technical Overview
Our Wide-Gap plate heat exchangers are specifically designed to handle viscous fluids, slurries, and liquids containing suspended fibers or solids. With channel gaps up to 3 times wider than standard plates, they prevent clogging and maintain high uptime in demanding applications.
Engineering Specifications
| Channel Gap | 8 mm to 12 mm |
| Plate Design | Coarse corrugation without metal-to-metal contact points |
| Target Media | Pulp slurries, sugar juice, ethanol mash, wastewater |
| Cleaning compatibility | Clean-in-Place (CIP) compatible |
| Max Gasket Temp | 160°C |
Key Engineering Features
Wide Open Channels
Engineered without the typical metal contact points in the channels, allowing large fibers and particulates to pass through without clogging.
CIP Optimization
Smooth, wide flow paths facilitate fast chemical cleaning cycles (Clean-in-Place) without requiring manual plate scrubbing.
Viscous Media Handling
Perfect for high-viscosity foods, starch processes, and heavy industrial slurries that clog conventional GPHE channels.
