Uniquely Solex
Low abrasion
Not only is our exchanger capable of effectively heating and cooling highly abrasive materials, the mass flow design of our technology allows for low product velocities and low pressure on the plates resulting in minimal abrasion to the unit itself. As a result, maintenance costs are drastically lowered.
Accurate & uniform temperature profile
Many processes require accurate and even temperature profiles during heating and cooling. For example, careful control of the temperature of sand is required during the resin-coating process to ensure the even distribution of the resin on the proppant. Regardless of whether the product requires heating or cooling, Solex thermal modeling capabilities guarantee even temperature profiles for the finished product, even when handling high temperature products.
