Production Process:

The production of stainless steel plates for plate heat exchangers involves several precise steps to ensure high-quality performance and longevity.

• Cutting and Leveling: Stainless steel plates are accurately cut using advanced machine tools to meet the specific design requirements. After cutting, a leveling treatment is applied to ensure a smooth and even surface. This step is crucial for maintaining efficient heat transfer capabilities.
• Stamping: The flattened plates undergo a meticulous stamping process using hydraulic presses. This process creates unique herringbone patterns on the plates, which significantly increase turbulence inside the heat exchanger. The controlled turbulence promotes optimal heat transfer by maximizing fluid contact with the plate surfaces. Special attention is given to maintaining precise control during stamping to prevent plate deformation or damage.
• Surface Treatment: To enhance corrosion resistance and optimize heat transfer performance, the plates undergo surface treatments such as polishing, sandblasting, or coating. The specific treatment method is selected based on the desired requirements and operating conditions. These treatments improve the plates' resistance to corrosion, fouling, and scaling, ensuring long-term efficiency and reliability.
