Gasketed Plate Heat Exchanger for Industrial Applications

A gasketed plate heat exchanger is a highly efficient heat transfer system used in industrial and HVAC applications where performance, flexibility, and easy maintenance are critical. We don’t believe in average performance. Whether you need a multi-purpose industrial solution, a semi-welded range designed for refrigeration and demanding processes, a hygienic range for food, beverage, and pharmaceutical applications, or specialized systems for condensation, evaporation, and fibrous media — our heat exchangers are built to deliver higher efficiency, safety, and long-term value.

By choosing the right solution, you benefit from reduced operating costs, improved reliability, and a lower total cost of ownership over the complete lifecycle of your equipment.

Gasketed Plate Heat Exchangers for Modern Requirements

Our plate and frame heat exchangers are engineered to meet today’s evolving process requirements with advanced thermal design and flexible operation.

Key Advantages:

These heat exchangers optimize heat transfer using large surfaces of corrugated plates, efficiently transferring heat from one liquid or gas to another. With outstanding heat transfer efficiency and dependable performance in a compact structure, they offer excellent value over their entire working life.

In addition, their energy-saving capabilities and low environmental footprint make them an ideal choice for industries focused on performance as well as sustainability.

Industrial Applications

Our gasketed plate heat exchangers are widely used across multiple industries for efficient heat transfer:

HVAC and chilled water systems

Industrial process cooling and heating

Food and beverage processing plants

Chemical and pharmaceutical industries

Oil, fuel, and lubricant cooling

Heat recovery and energy saving systems

Each unit is designed according to application-specific flow rates, temperatures, and operating pressures to ensure reliable and long-term performance.

SRJ plate heat exchangers are manufactured using industrial-grade materials to ensure durability, hygiene, and corrosion resistance:

  • Plate materials: Stainless steel, titanium, special alloys
  • Gasket materials: NBR, EPDM, FKM (Viton)
  • Frame materials: Heavy-duty carbon steel or stainless steel

This construction ensures high mechanical strength, leak-free operation, and long service intervals even in harsh operating environments.

Compared to conventional heat exchangers, a gasketed plate heat exchanger offers higher efficiency, easier maintenance, and lower operating costs.

The modular plate design allows you to easily expand capacity as your process grows — without replacing the entire unit. Maintenance is simple, cleaning is fast, and performance remains consistent over years of operation, making it a smart long-term investment for industrial applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

A gasketed plate heat exchanger is a highly efficient heat transfer system that uses corrugated plates sealed with elastomer gaskets to transfer heat between fluids. This design allows easy maintenance, flexible capacity expansion, and high thermal performance. Gasketed heat exchangers are widely used in HVAC systems, food and beverage plants, chemical processing, pharmaceuticals, utilities, and energy recovery applications where frequent cleaning and adaptability are important.

Different exchanger gasket types are used depending on temperature, pressure, and fluid compatibility. Commonly used materials include NBR for oil-based applications, EPDM for water and food-grade duties, and FKM (Viton) for high-temperature or aggressive chemical environments. Choosing the correct gasket used in heat exchanger systems is critical to ensure leak-free operation and long service life.

Yes, we supply heat exchanger plates and gaskets as replacement parts for a wide range of gasketed plate and frame heat exchanger models. Our solutions are designed to match original equipment specifications, ensuring proper fit, sealing performance, and thermal efficiency. This helps extend equipment life without replacing the complete unit.

Selecting the correct plate heat exchanger gasket type depends on operating temperature, pressure, fluid composition, and cleaning chemicals. For example, EPDM gaskets are commonly used in food and dairy processes, while FKM gaskets are preferred for high-temperature or chemical duties. Our technical team evaluates process conditions to recommend the most suitable gasket in plate heat exchanger applications.

Yes, semi welded gasketed plate heat exchangers are ideal for applications involving refrigerants, evaporators, and aggressive media where enhanced sealing and safety are required. A gasketed plate evaporator design allows efficient heat transfer while maintaining serviceability, making it suitable for refrigeration, heat pumps, and industrial cooling systems.
