The APV® ParaWeld heat exchanger consists of plates welded in pairs using a patented laser welding process. Every other channel is welded, while the remaining channels are gasketed. The welded channels make it possible to handle aggressive and complex media in plate heat exchangers.

EasyFlow plates offer minimal hydraulic resistance. The plates have a larger channel cross-section and fewer contact points and are used for media containing fibers or cellulose, for viscous media and emulsions. They provide a minimum temperature head.

The plates provide the highest thermal performance, the channels have the maximum number of plate contact points, and the channel diameter is 6.2 mm.

DuoSafety - Double wall plate design for reduced risk of intermixing.

DuraFlow plates provide low hydraulic resistance, the channels have an average number of plate contact points, and the channel diameter is 9.3 mm. It has an advantage in case of high temperature head, low permissible hydraulic resistance, and in the use of viscous media.
The main element of the heat exchanger, without which the device cannot function, is the plate. The product is supplied with a special gasket that allows the part to be installed immediately in the plate heat exchange system, without the need to select a suitable seal.
Heat exchanger plates are thin sheets of metal on which channels are extruded by pressing. Depending on the design of the device, their diameter ranges from 3 to 8 mm. It is through these channels that the main medium used in the heat exchanger subsequently moves. Depending on the cross-section, the plates can be suitable for common liquid media (wort, liquid oils, water, steam) or for viscous media (fermented milk products).
The heat exchanger plates can include channels at different angles of inclination. This is a parameter that directly affects heat transfer. The size range of APV plates is represented by models with different working surface profiles and areas ranging from 0.01 m2 to 4.6 m2.
