Sondex SF160 Free Flow Plate Heat Exchangers, For Food Processing Industry

Recommended Applications:The SF160 Sondex Free Flow plate heat exchanger is specially developed for pulp and paper, sugar and the general industrial markets handling fluids which contain fibre and solids.Design PrincipleWith a plate length of 2,4 m (7,9 ft) the plate makes it possible to cover many duties up to 1.600 m3/h (7.045 gpm) in a single pass solution, meaning that all the connections will be on the head of the heat exchanger, which is of big advantage during service work. The plate pattern and inlet area are also designed for CIP cleaning, which makes the service of the PHE easy.Flow platesThe plate pattern is designed without metal contact between the plates in the liquid area. The plate gab for this plate range is 10/10 mm (0,4”/0,4”) and 7/13 mm between the plates. The corner holes inlets of the channels are without any metallic contact points. This ensures no places where fibres etc. might “hang” or collect. In addition the inlet area is designed for optimal turbulent flow, resulting in high thermal efficiency and therefore a low number of heat transfer plates will be required in the solution.Data Required for Correct Quotation: Duty Flow rate Temperature Type of media Working pressure Working Temperature Pressure loss Thermodynamic properties Above data determines the choice of heat exchanger. Technical InformationFrame Painted frame, colour RAL 5010 (available in other colours). The frame comes with clamping bolts placed around the frame edge. Connections DN300 flange in carbon steel, rubber lined, stainless steel- and titanium lines. Extra Equipment: Safety cover in stainless steel Insulating jacket Assembling spanner Foundation feet for frame Plate Material: AISI 304 and AISI 316. Other materials available on request. Gaskets The gasket is the unique “Sonder Lock” gasket which locks the plates together with strong rubber buttons, so that the plates are strongly guided during the assembly of the plate heat exchanger. Construction Standard: EN13445 (PED 2014/68/EU) ASME sec VIII, Div. 1
