Plate Pack Service
Tranter Service Center procedures give an idea of the methodical procedures necessary to ensure proper plate pack maintenance.
Upon unit disassembly, we determine the precise cleaning and treatment process needed. Plates are pressure washed and rinsed, then subjected to either a hot caustic stripping and/or a manual procedure for gasket and scale removal. They are then subjected to immersion in a variety of acids, compatible with the plate material, to remove the balance of any foulants. Cleaned plates are 100% visually inspected and a sampling of 10% is dye-penetrant tested for cracks, pin holes or material failure. The plate is sprayed with dye and inspected to locate any pinhole leaks or cracks. Following this procedure, plates are again pressure washed and rinsed to remove all traces of the dye.
