Plate Concepts - Free Flow Plate Heat Exchangers
From Other Plate Types
Our Free Flow Plate Heat Exchangers maximize heat recovery from fibrous or viscous fluids with minimal maintenance. Free Flow or Wide-Gap plates are specially designed with no metal to metal contact and large gaps (5 mm to 11.5 mm) between plates in the liquid area – allowing large particles to pass through the exchanger with minimal risk of blockage.
