Benefits

Opening and Closing in Under Two Minutes

Frame with manual drive system means food manufacturers no longer need to use tie-bar frames in their facility, resulting in a higher sanitary standard, improved speed, convenience, and flexibility.
Reduces downtime for maintenance, cleaning, inspection, and maintenance, allowing the heat exchanger to resume operations faster.

Consistent Tightening Across the Plate Pack With a Powered Wrench

Closing the unit to the proper pitch with a powered wrench means speed and efficiency for an otherwise time-consuming process.
Minimizing uneven tightening of the plate pack eliminates warping or deformation of the plates or excessive gasket compression, which can lead to leaks and reduced effectiveness.

Improved Safety From Improved Leg/Foot Design

3A/EHEDG certified foot design
