Working principle

How the technology transfers heat.

Corrugated stainless plates form alternating product and service channels. Food-compatible gaskets direct the media without mixing, while sanitary unions and an openable frame support hygienic installation, inspection and CIP. Multi-section units can combine heating, regeneration and cooling.
