Plate Heat Exchanger Refurbishment Service
As well as being agents for Heat Exchanger companies such as Sacome and Schmidt, Centri Force are able offer our clients a refurbishment service regardless of the type and manufacturer of each plate pack.
Our workshop is fully equipped to clean, crack detect and re-gasket any type of Plate Heat Exchanger:
 | GASKET REMOVAL + CLEANING Old gaskets are removed and the plates are then put through a process of chemical cleaning which involves immersion of the plates in acid and alkali baths. The process is completed by high pressure rinsing in water. | 
|
 | CRACK DETECTION + INSPECTION
Each plate is individually sprayed on one side with a dye penetrant and the opposite side sprayed with a developer. The plates are then inspected under UV light to reveal any cracks or minute pin holes. Any faulty plates are removed, marked and returned to the client. Replacement plates are offered.

|
 | RE-GASKETING
New gaskets are applied to the plates using adhesives when necessary and unless clip type is used. The plates are re-configured into order, then jig-clamped and oven cured as necessary. The plates are finally inspected for bonding and fixing prior to despatch.
