SRJ Heat Exchangers manufactures wide gap plate heat exchangers specifically designed for fluids containing fibers, solids, pulp, or highly viscous media where standard plate heat exchangers may clog. The wide gap plate design allows smooth flow of difficult fluids while maintaining efficient heat transfer and stable operation.
These heat exchangers are ideal for industries that require reliable performance with minimum fouling, low pressure drop, and easy cleaning in challenging process conditions.
Our wide gap plate heat exchangers are engineered to handle coarse particles and high-viscosity fluids without compromising efficiency.
Key Advantages:
The special plate geometry allows fibers and solids to pass freely through the heat exchanger, ensuring uninterrupted operation even in demanding applications.
In a plate type heat exchanger, hot and cold fluids flow through alternate channels formed by plates. The corrugated surface creates turbulence, improving heat transfer efficiency even at low temperature differences. Gaskets seal each plate, ensuring safe operation without fluid mixing.

Wide gap plate heat exchangers are commonly used in industries where conventional heat exchangers struggle:
Each unit is customized based on fluid characteristics, flow rate, and operating temperature to ensure reliable long-term performance.
SRJ wide gap plate heat exchangers are built using robust, industrial-grade materials for long service life:
This construction ensures durability, corrosion resistance, and easy maintenance even in highly fouling applications.
A wide gap plate heat exchanger is the ideal solution for processes involving fibers, solids, or viscous fluids where traditional plate heat exchangers fail.
Its design reduces clogging, minimizes downtime, and ensures consistent heat transfer performance — making it a cost-effective and reliable choice for complex industrial processes.
A wide gap plate heat exchanger is a heat transfer solution specially designed for fluids that contain fibres, solids, pulp, or high viscosity materials. The wide spacing between plates allows these fluids to flow freely without clogging, ensuring stable performance and reduced fouling in demanding industrial processes.
A wide gap heat exchanger differs from conventional designs by using plates with larger channel spacing. This reduces blockage, pressure drop, and cleaning frequency when handling slurries, fibrous media, or particulate fluids, making it ideal for difficult process conditions.
Wide gap plate heat exchangers are widely used in sugar processing, pulp and paper, wastewater treatment, bioenergy plants, food processing, and chemical industries. These sectors benefit from reliable heat transfer performance even when working with non-Newtonian or fouling fluids.
Yes, wide gap plate heat exchangers are designed for easy inspection and cleaning. The open plate channels minimize fouling, while the gasketed construction allows quick disassembly, reducing downtime and maintenance costs in continuous industrial operations.
A wide gap plate heat exchanger should be selected when the process fluid contains fibres, suspended solids, or has a high tendency to foul. It is the preferred solution for applications where conventional heat exchangers struggle with clogging, pressure drop, or frequent cleaning requirements.
