The philosophy of this group could not be described in any better way such that GEA is among the worlds leading providers of this technology.
Manufacturing site for gasketed PHE and the headquarter of GEA ECOFLEX is in Sarstedt/Hannover. Ease of maintenance and the flexibility to accommodate changes in operating conditions are the key advantages of gasketed PHE, which makes them the design of choice for a number of applications.
GEA ECOBRAZE and GEA WTT, the competence centres for brazed PHEs are located in Landskrona, Sweden and Wilchwitz, Germany. Brazed PHEs are gasketfree, compact units which consist entirely of pressed stainless steel plates, brazed in a special vacuumfurnace process. This very compact construction technique minimizes the space requirements.
Semi- and fully welded PHEs are produced at GEA ECOFLEX sites in Germany. These completely welded constructions provide leak free performance even under extreme and severe operating conditions.
For many years GEA ECOFLEX plate heat exchangers have successfully performed a wide range of diverse industrial applications throughout the world. Amongst many others, the heating and cooling needs of most of the industrial applications have been met serving either end customers direct, EPC, OEM or through every type of intercompany.
