Gasket Options SUPERIOR GASKET SEALING The sealing system used with our heat exchanger plates is designed as a one piece molded gasket with a vented double gasket boundary. This design prevents the two process fluids from mixing and gives you added peace of mind. If there are any leaks at the gasket around the plate or port areas, the leakage is to atmosphere and easily detectable. SIGMAFIX GASKET Our patented, adhesive-free gasket fastening system allows quick and easy gasket replacement through laterally built-in mounting clips. Ensures high resistance against front-face sticking and...

Pressure Retaining Covers are designed in accordance with ASME code. These plates are designed so no external reinforcing is required. Steel pressure plates are provided with an epoxy paint finish for durability and extended life. Elastomer Gaskets can be either mechanically fixed (adhesive-free) or glued to the heat transfer plate. Moveable Pressure Plate allows easy access to heat transfer surfaces for simplified maintenance. Thermal Plates have integral reinforcement in the neck area of the plate. This yields greater sealing reliability and allows for greater operating pressures. Piping...
