GKT Lamella Technology
POWER Spot and LASER Luxe Lamella
Spot-welded heating elements
Our spot-welded lamellas are characterized above all by their resistance to fouling and corrosion, as the welding spot does not come into contact with the substance.
In a forming process specially developed by GKT, the welding spots are not exposed to any force during the forming process of the lamellas. This minimizes material deformation and stresses at the welding spot. In combination with our fully closed edge welding, the product impresses with a very long lamella lifetime.
The distances between the welding spots are adapted to the respective application. This means that spot-welded lamellas can be designed with a larger plate volume, reducing pressure losses during operation.
LASER Luxe Lamella - Laser-welded heating elements
With our laser-welded lamellas, we apply the advantages of our special forming process and thus minimize the stresses at the weld seams. The edges of the lamellas are designed identically to the spot-welded lamellas.
However, thanks to our forming process, we can also implement the larger plate volumes for minimal pressure losses for laser-welded lamellas. Thus, we offer an advanced version of the standard laser lamellas for maximum lifetime.
Advantages
- Highest evaporation rates, optimum cleaning possibilities and minimal corrosion, even for heavily fouling substances
- Flexibility in terms of formats, materials, welding processes and customer-pecific requirements
- Minimal risk of fouling
- Minimal risk of corrosion
- Long lifetime
- Optimum utilization of heating surface
- Optimized spot- and laser-welded lamellas
In-house lamella production
For decades, producing lamellas for plate falling-film evaporators has been one of our core competencies. We continuously refine this expertise with a strong focus on maximum quality and efficiency. The heating elements are produced in-house at our plate manufacturing facility in Gloggnitz, Austria – under strict quality standards.
