Regasketing Plates For Nearly All Heat Exchanger Makes and Models
As an OEM of a proprietary line of gasketed plate heat exchangers for the food and beverage industries, we know how important it is to use the right materials and methods to ensure a reliable heat exchanger.
Return Your Plates to Like-New Condition
Our complete regasketing service includes:
- Gasket debonding
- Chemical cleaning
- Ultra-violet penetrant crack detection
- Physical inspection for excess wear or bending
- Application of a new gasket (with oven curing of adhesive under pressure)
This regasketing process can be divided into three stages.
Step 1: Clean and test plates
We start by cleaning each of your plates. This is important to ensure proper inspection of the plate, as well as descaling plates for optimum heat transfer performance.
After cleaning, we'll test your plates with dye to ensure they don't have any hairline cracks or premature wear we couldn't see during our cleaning process.
Stage 2: Replace damaged plates
If a plate requires replacing to prevent cross-contamination or leaking, we’ll identify these issues and replace them with our signature AGC sanitary plates. These stainless plates fit nearly all makes and models, are designed specifically for beverage and food production, and are engraved with a lot number for traceability to ensure quality and safety.
Step 3: Gasket plates
After your plates have passed the initial inspection, we gasket your passed plates and assemble into the plate pack order, per your drawing, for easy installation by your maintenance personnel.
Typically, customers with larger plate heat exchangers choose to regasket existing plate packs to save downtime and labor. This is accomplished through a spare plate pack, which is exchanged on a periodic basis per the maintenance schedule.
