Solve Destruction Of Gaskets From Organic Attack In Injection Molding Processes

CHALLENGE

Find a replacement for two gasketed plate heat exchangers that will enhance process uptime in resin cooling and heating for an injection-molded sink manufacturer.

SOLUTION

Two Tranter SUPERMAX Shell And Plate Heat Exchangers; one unit cools resin following compounding from acrylic monomer and ethylene glycol. The second heats the resin to 50°C (122°F) using a thermal fluid.

RESULTS

Years of trouble-free resin heating and cooling performance.

The Tranter SUPERMAX Shell And Plate Heat Exchanger, with no gaskets, has proven reliable for years with organic solvents used to compound mineral-filled resins.
