Gasketed Plate

Optimized Design for Food Applications

Engineered specifically for food applications, Tetra Pak® Gasketed Plate Heat Exchangers from Harco feature durable plate geometry designed for hygienic processing environments. Reliable thermal performance is achieved while supporting strict food safety and sanitation requirements.

Efficient, Gentle Heating Performance

Designed for gentle, energy-efficient heating, these gasketed plate heat exchangers from Alfa Laval help maintain product quality throughout processing. Easy cleaning, servicing, and maintenance simplify operation, while rebuildable construction allows adaptation for new applications or changing production capacities. Extended equipment life is further supported by durable gaskets and advanced plate-pressing technology.

Enhanced Safety with Clip-On Gaskets

Featuring a robust T-clip design, Tetra Pak® clip-on gaskets allow fast removal and reassembly during maintenance procedures. Additional safety enhancements, including a safety groove in the seal chamber, make leakage visible from outside the unit if it occurs anywhere on the gasket. Reduced risk of cross-contamination between product and media is achieved through this design.

Flexible, Easy-to-Adapt Connections

Rather than using welded connections, Tetra Pak® gasketed plate heat exchangers utilize bolted connection plates that simplify rebuilding and adaptation for different capacities and products. Greater flexibility is provided for evolving production requirements and future process modifications.

Engineered for Even Flow and Heat Transfer

Specially developed for food processing applications, the tall, narrow plate design of the Tetra Pak® gasketed plate heat exchangers combines optimized surface patterns and porthole sizing. This supports even product distribution across the plate surface. Uniform flow characteristics help ensure efficient and consistent heat transfer throughout the process.
