Free Flow Plate Heat Exchangers for special applications
Free Flow plate heat exchangers are a specialized solution for heat transfer in fluids containing fibers, high viscosity or solid particles, where conventional plate heat exchangers cannot ensure reliable operation. The design with wide, non-symmetric channels allows particles to pass through without blockage, while maintaining efficient heat transfer and controlled pressure drop.
The construction is optimized for uniform flow distribution across the entire heat transfer area, reducing the risk of fouling and uneven deposits. The gasketed, fully serviceable design provides easy access for inspection, mechanical cleaning and CIP processes, making Free Flow heat exchangers suitable for continuous industrial operation. Each unit from series SFF50, SFF100, SFF150, SFF200 и SFF300 can be configured according to the specific process requirements, including flow rate, temperatures, pressure and fluid characteristics.

Free Flow heat exchangers use plates with a specialized geometry, where wide channels allow fluids with a high content of particles and fibers to flow freely. The wave pattern of the plates is designed without contact points in the flow direction, ensuring gentle handling of the fluid and reducing the risk of mechanical blockage and fouling.
The clearance between the heat transfer plates reaches up to 12 mm, depending on the plate type, enabling operation with media that would quickly clog conventional plate heat exchangers. This design is particularly suitable for processes that require reliable performance when handling solids or non-homogeneous fluids. Typical application in industries:
- Dairy, food and beverage industry
- Sugar industry
- Biogas plants
- Wastewater treatment
- Pulp and paper industry
- Mining industry
