Heat exchangers for Johnson Matthey
Welded plate heat exchangers from Tranter PHE are being used to cool solvents in the production of titanium alkoxides for specialist chemicals company, Johnson Matthey, at its plant in Billingham
This needs to be heated to 50C during resin manufacture.
Because acrylic monomer has chemical characteristics which are not compatible with gaskets, the Ultramax welded plate heat exchanger units were selected, instead of the standard units with gaskets.
Tranter Ultramax units combine the compact, space saving footprint and proven efficiency of a plate heat exchanger in a gasket free, all-welded unit.
The welded unit is also capable handling liquids, gases and mixtures of the two at high pressures and temperatures.
For the most demanding applications welded heat exchangers offer optimum performance.
Carron Phoenix is the UK's largest dedicated sink manufacturer, and prides itself on the precision engineered nature of its products.
Therefore, when sourcing heat exchanger equipment for their composite sink manufacturing facility, Tranter were contacted.
Carron Phoenix has been very impressed with the trouble free nature of the Ultramax units, "We sourced Tranter on quality, price, delivery and fit to purpose characteristics as our application was a highly demanding one due to the nature of the materials.
The two units have now been in operation for four years with no failures or downtime recorded.
