Alfa Laval

Industrial line

Our wide range of industrial gasketed plate heat exchangers is suitable for all types of industry and multiple applications from heating, cooling and heat recovery to condensation and evaporation. We are constantly looking to extend and upgrade the range, adding new performance criteria and greater flexibility. What’s termed ‘next-generation’ today will soon be standard for the entire Alfa Laval Industrial line.

Industrial Alfa Laval plate and gasketed plate heat exchangers

Towards new standards in efficiency, reliability and serviceability

  • High energy efficiency
  • Flexible – configurable for broad range of applications
  • Ensures optimal performance in specific applications based on specific needs
  • Easy to install
  • High serviceability
Our industrial plate heat exchangers are energy efficient, compact, simple to maintain, easy to adjust for capacity changes and represent a relatively low capital investment. The vast range of options when it comes to size, plate and gasket material and add-ons means they can be specifically designed and configured for your application, from the simplest of duties to the most demanding where requirements on both performance and documentation are high.

How the Industrial line works 

The heat transfer area of a gasketed plate heat exchanger consists of a series of corrugated plates, assembled between a frame and pressure plates to retain pressure. Gaskets act as seals between the plates. Fluids normally run counter-currently through the heat exchanger. This gives the most efficient thermal performance and enables a very close temperature approach, ie the temperature difference between the exiting process medium and the entering service medium.

Keeping your heat exchangers in top condition can make a big difference in your profitability. Not only can equipment problems result in unplanned downtime and production losses, but a reduction in thermal efficiency caused by a lack of maintenance can also impact product quality and drive up operational costs. 

Moreover, Alfa Laval heat exchangers play a big role in the food and beverage, starch and ethanol, and pharmaceutical industries, and we know you need to be confident about their performance – to ensure production availability as well as product quality and safety.
