Years of Experience in Polymer Heating Applications

Solex has been involved in applications like polymer heating world-wide for more than 20 years, and has a team of experts capable of handling the most difficult heat exchange challenges. View a list of some of the Polymer companies Solex has served around the world.

Benefits of the Solex Technology for Heating Polymer

Solex indirect heating technology does not use air directly to cool polymers, eliminating emissions such as VOX, NOX, as well as dust, fines and odors. The slow and controlled movement of polymers through the heat exchanger prevents product abrasion and degradation, ensuring pellets are not changed in the polymer heating process.

Ideal for Degassing and Conditioning

Solex indirect heat exchanger design is a sealed unit, able to operate with blanket gas or a purge gas stream in degassing and conditioning polymer applications.
