Plate Check

Our Plate Check plate heat exchanger testing method is the industry standard and is one of the only methods that meets the new 3A standard 11-09.  The test has been used successfully for over 20 years.

Our test includes:

  • Checks 100% of the plate surface for pin-holes and precisely identifies the location in one simple test
  • Checks for gasket, frame, plate wear/corrosion and CIP response.
  • Unit to be opened as little as once.  All sections tested at the same time.
  • 3-4 hours typical total test time per HTST Pasteurizer.
  • Hydrodynamic pressure test using exclusive food grade inhibited dye (AGC RI-606) and plain water.
  • No chemicals, heat and no BOD added to the waste stream
  • Please contact us for cost effective price on this 3A recommended service.

Damaged Frame Replacement:

R-Cap can provide complete NEW replacement AGC frames or frame components. Furthermore, most components are completely interchangeable with existing frames. As a result, we can even upgrade your existing CR5 or R51 manual frame to a full hydraulic closure. All frames will line up with existing piping so replacement is quick and easy.
