Alfa Laval Front 10 [2/4] Plate types

Alfa Laval Front 10 [2/4] Plate types
The plate pack
The chevron corrugation of the plates provides a passage between
the plates and supports each plate against the adjacent one. It also
enhances the turbulence, resulting in efficient heat transfer.
Different chevron angles are available to reach the optimal high heat
transfer at a given pressure drop. A unique distribution area provides
an efficient flow over the plate surface. The Alfa Laval hanging system
enables easy handling of the plates in the frame. Furthermore the
corner guiding provides a strong plate pack. The plates are reversible
and have parallel flow, which means that only one type of gasket
is needed.
Plate Types
Front6 Gemini, Front8 Gemini and Front10 Gemini.
Other plates of the FrontLine™ series are the Front and WideStream®
plates.
The gasket
The FrontLine™ plates are supplied with glue-free Clip-On gaskets,
which are easy to replace even with the plates still hanging in the frame.
The material of gaskets are selected for safe use in connection with
pharmaceutical and food products.
