Maximum Uptime

Wide Gap Heat Exchangers

Engineered for high-fouling duties. Maintaining peak thermal efficiency in applications with fibrous liquids and coarse particles.

Clog-Free Thermal Performance

Wide Gap plate technology is specifically designed for duties where standard heat exchangers fail due to clogging. Featuring wide, open gaps and a specialized pressing pattern, it allows fluids containing fibers or large particles to flow freely.

From wastewater heat recovery to pulp processing and ethanol production, the Wide Gap range ensures continuous operation and significantly extended cleaning intervals.

WIDE GAP TECHNOLOGY

Operational Benefits

Reduced Clogging

Wide channels allow fibers and particles up to several millimeters to pass through safely without bridge formation.

Improved Uptime

Designed for longer production runs between cleaning cycles, reducing maintenance downtime and increasing throughput.

Flexible Flow Paths

Customizable gap configurations available (wide-to-wide or wide-to-narrow) to suit your specific process stream requirements.

Technical Advantages

  • Plate gaps up to 12mm
  • Symmetrical and asymmetrical gap options
  • Low pressure drop across large flow volumes
  • Superior fatigue resistance in thermal cycling
  • Easy access for manual or automated cleaning

Typical Applications

Managing the most challenging industrial process streams:

  • Pulp & Paper white water cooling
  • Ethanol fermentation cooling
  • Wastewater heat recovery
  • Sugar production (raw juice heating)

Challenge Your High-Fouling Duties

Harness the power of wide-channel technology to eliminate clogging and maximize your process uptime.
