Overview
AGC Heat Transfer designs and manufactures sanitary plate heat exchangers for North America and provides complete services, including new frames, upgraded plate packs, new gaskets, and spare parts compatible with many manufacturers. Its heat exchangers use stacked plates to transfer heat between two fluids while keeping them separate, and the company offers PlateCheck testing and 3-A compliant inspections to ensure reliability. The company differentiates itself with sanitary-focused plates, proven performance advantages, broad spare-part compatibility across frame types, and on-site diagnostics and service. Its goal is to supply customers with sanitary heat exchange solutions—new equipment, spare parts, diagnostics, and maintenance services—to boost process efficiency and reduce operating costs.
