Cooling Plates (Platcold and Pillow Plates)
The cooling plate (which is also known as ‘platcold plate’, or ‘plate for wine’) is particularly suitable to the conditioning of the product’s temperature in its liquid status, optimizing the productive process. It is characterised by two different typologies: canal or alveolar, where it has the flow of the cooling fluid in just one circuit, divided into section’s canals inside.
The ‘immersion’ cooling plates are made of stainless steel whether AISI 304 or AISI 316, and are characterised by an electrum-polished finishing.
The use of the cooling plates is a valid option to the standard coils and the cavity’s systems.
WHERE IS IT USED?
The cooling plate can be used in the building of different food-, chemical, pharmaceutical, dry cleaner’s, tannery- and heat recovery’s plants, but it is mainly applied in the enology, where its installation inside the wine tanks of winemakers allows the thermoregulation of the musts, guaranteeing in this way high-quality and constant standards, together with an optimization of the production process.
The most suitable dimensions and features will be considered according to the use of the plate.
WHICH ARE THE FLUIDS THAT CAN BE USED?
The cooling plate uses fluids of heat exchange. Especially, water, glycol, diathermic oil, steam, freon and ammonia can be used. These fluids can be cooling- or heating ones.
HOW IS IT APPLIED?
The cooling plate is adaptable to any kind of tank, in the concrete tanks or in other typologies of container. In particular, it is vertically fixed to the inner part of the tanks, connected to refrigeration plants. It is complete with threaded or smooth joints of Ø ½” (21,3mm), ¾” (26,9mm) or 1” (33,7mm) with a standard length of 300mm, for the entry and exit of the cooling liquid.
HOW ARE THEY PRODUCED?
The cooling plates (or plates for wine) are obtained with compressed air-inflation of two metal sheets with same thickness, which are joined through seam welding, in order to form coil circuits and, eventually, closed with a perimetric welding. This welding guarantees a further safety for possible leaks, which could pollute the contents of the tank. The reduced mechanical deformation, and the flow of the fluid of the whole plate’s surface reduce the risks of corrosion.
WHICH THICKNESS DO THE PLATES HAVE?
The usual thickness of the used metal sheet is from 1,0+1,0 mm to 1,2+1,2 mm, but according to the used fluid, carrying capacity and load loss, can be considered different thicknesses.
*WHAT ARE THE COILS?
The coil is a valid instrument for the control of the temperature of the liquids inside the tanks, barrels and vats, mixers, exchangers, reactors and autoclaves. Moreover it can be used for the process of cooling of musts, and heating of yeast for the monitored fermentation.
The coil is made of stainless steel either in 304 or in 316, it has contained dimensions and it can be moulded in assorted shapes, according to the customer’s needs.
Furthermore, the coil can be connected in entry and exit through threaded fittings, hose holders or it can be easily welded directly to the discharge- and return pipe of the plant.
This allows a wide use of the coils in many different sectors, where the most important are the following ones: food-, enological, dairy- and chemical sector.
