Heat exchanger for fibrous and coarse particle fluids
In industries such as sugar, bioethanol, and pulp and paper processing, managing fibrous fluids or fluids with coarse particles can be challenging. These substances often cause blockages and inefficiencies, complicating the heating, cooling, and interchanging processes.
Optimize thermal performance and reduce blockages
The Alfa Laval WideGap gasketed plate-and-frame heat exchanger is designed specifically for handling fibrous fluids and those containing coarse particles. Featuring a smooth port design to prevent fiber blockage and an easy-to-maintain structure, this heat exchanger offers high energy efficiency and configurability. It can adapt to different process requirements with its wide-wide or wide-narrow channel configurations. The ClipGrip™ gasket ensures a perfect seal without glue, facilitating trouble-free maintenance, while the included roller, bearing boxes, and 5-point alignment system simplify opening and closing for modifications. Backed by Alfa Laval’s global service network, it provides peace of mind through reliable performance and easy access to parts and expertise. Ideal for industries like sugar, bioethanol, and pulp and paper, the WideGap heat exchanger ensures effective thermal performance while minimizing pressure drops.
