HRS Plate Heat Exchanger Services

WCR UK Provides Servicing, Repair, Maintenance, Gaskets and Plates for HRS Plate Heat Exchangers

We specialise in plate heat exchanger repair, maintenance and support for all HRS plate heat exchanger models. We have worked on HRS heat exchangers for many years in various industries across many processes and equipment types.

Why Choose HRS Heat Exchangers

HRS Heat Exchangers are the go-to solution for industries seeking highly efficient, cost-effective, and adaptable thermal transfer systems.

Thanks to their robust construction from AISI 304/316 stainless steel or titanium and compact design, they assure reliability and excellent performance. They feature a unique design that combines high theta and low theta thermal length plates for optimal heat transfer.

Equipped with a double seal arrangement, they ensure zero cross-contamination, adding an extra layer of safety. The design is flexible, allowing multi-section units for diverse applications.

Applications of HRS Heat Exchangers

HRS Heat Exchangers find widespread applications in a range of sectors, such as the Environmental, Food & beverage, Pharmaceutical, and Industrial sectors.

From heating and cooling to pasteurising and sterilising, they are integral to the food, drink, dairy, pharmaceutical and biotechnology processes.

HRS Heat Exchanger Technology

HRS Industrial and Hygienic Gasketed Plate Heat Exchangers utilise a unique herringbone pattern to enhance the rate of heat transfer. The compact plate pack is assembled in a manner to create two sets of parallel channels for each liquid, contributing to high turbulence and, thus, an elevated heat transfer rate. Moreover, the Hygienic models feature glueless clip-type gaskets for easy servicing and maintenance, thus reducing operational downtime.

HRS Heat Exchanger Specifications

HRS offers a range of Plate Heat Exchangers (PHEs) in Gasketed or Brazed types. The standard frame material is painted carbon steel, but stainless steel frames are available for hygienic applications. They come in multi-pass and multi-stage design options, offering flexibility for various applications. Safety is ensured with a double seal gasket design, and for specific applications, double wall safety plates are utilised.
