Evaporators

Evaporators

Our SONDEX® plate evaporators are designed to handle advanced evaporation duties. Using semi-welded plate cassettes, the media are guaranteed to never mix. The plate cassettes are designed to ensure the optimal level of turbulence on both sides while providing an even distribution of the media for superior performance and product quality.

Our standard, semi-welded, and brazed SONDEX® plate heat exchangers are outstanding choices for standard evaporation duties.

However, certain applications prove unsuitable for regular heat exchanger types. To help you obtain unsurpassed product quality, we have created exclusive evaporator plates tailored to meet the challenges presented by advanced evaporation applications.
