The Refurbishment Process
We provide a range of refurbishment options to ensure your plate heat exchangers are cleaned and tested to the highest quality standards. The process of plate refurbishment includes the following steps:


1) Identify & Inspect Plates
Once plates arrive for refurbishment they are identified and logged. All gaskets are then carefully removed from the plates.
2) Chemical Cleaning
The plates are chemically cleaned. Firstly they are immersed in an alkali bath followed by an acid bath.


3) Rinsed & Dried
4) Fluorescent Dye Application
Once dried, the plates are individually sprayed with a fluorescent dye penetrant.


5) Ultraviolet Inspection
6) Gasket & Plate Assembly
Following inspection, new gaskets are clipped or bonded to the refurbished plates. Appropriate adhesives are used where required. All plates are clamped to ensure correct alignment and if necessary, oven cured.

7) Completing the Process
