Free Flow Plate Heat Exchanger
35 - 1 650 m³/h
GEA Ecoflex
EcoFlex Free Flow gasketed plate heat exchangers provide high efficiency heat transfer for liquids with high pulp or fiber content, such as fruit juice or paper pulp, and for high viscosity media. Well suited for applications in:
* Food
* Sugar
* Paper
* Wastewater Treatment
* Renewable Energy
Some process liquids have high viscosity or significant fiber content, such as fruit juice, sugar and paper. In those circumstances normal plate designs clog or fail to perform properly. Even many "wide gap" plates use multiple contact points and hourglass shaped openings, requiring frequent maintenance or backflushing to return them to operation.
EcoFlex Free Flow plates are specifically designed to address this issue, and provide maximum efficiency and performance. Free Flow plates stand out for their :
* Constant-width gaps from 5.0 mm up to 12.0 mm
* Flow channels without support points that might cause clogging
* Plate profiles (waves) designed to enhance flow and reduce clogging
This makes Free Flow plate heat exchangers particularly suitable for products containing solids, crystals and pulp as well as for highly viscous products, which is why they are used mainly in the sugar and paper industries and in the food and fruit juice industries.
