Multi Gap Plate (CH-GX)
Specially made for liquids (sludge) or high viscosity
fluids containing fibers and solids• By combination of one plate arrangement
gives 3 multiple-channel configurations• Corrosion resistant materials suchas titanium can be used

• Widest channel spacing (20 mm)• Economic design• Shorter maintenance time due to theglueless system gasket (Slit-In)

factory waste water- High viscosity fluids: Mayonnaise, varioussauces, starch saccharification liquid,
syrup

Dual Wall Plate (CH-CW)
The Dual Wall series for maximum safety
against fluid mixing

The Dual Wall structure and Double seal gasket
prevent a mix of the two fluids. In case one of theplates were to fail, the leak can be detected fromoutside because of leaking through the gap ofthe plates.
• Wide applications where possibility of mixing fluids
is extremely dangerous or not permitted to avoid
cross contamination between fluids• Easily cleanable and accessible• Size and cost reduction

Laser welded parts

Two identical plates are stacked andlaser-welded around the portholes
