Tranter
Founded in 1937 by R.E. Tranter, the company began its journey by introducing a groundbreaking design for gasketed plate heat exchangers that revolutionized the industry. The new design offered better thermal efficiency and easier maintenance compared to existing solutions, quickly establishing Tranter as a trusted name in the chemical sector.
As the demand for efficient heat transfer systems grew, Tranter expanded rapidly, opening production and service sites across the United States and Europe to serve an evolving client base.
In the 1960s, the company turned its attention to emerging sectors such as nuclear energy and offshore oil and gas. This focus led to the development of more specialized exchangers, including welded plate and spiral types—both suited for demanding operating environments.
By the 1990s, Tranter had firmly established itself as an innovator. New product lines featured compact designs with enhanced thermal efficiency and streamlined maintenance. The company also widened its global reach, setting up operations across Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East.
Today, Tranter continues to lead in heat exchanger technology, with a presence in more than 50 countries and a portfolio that adapts to the changing needs of industries ranging from energy to chemicals and food processing.
Spotlight on tranter plate heat exchangers
GX Plates
The GX series is engineered for asymmetrical flow applications. These plates feature an additional peripheral gasket that enhances sealing performance and minimizes leakage risk. Each plate also includes dual O-ring seals across alternate openings, creating a reliable flow separation system.
Chevron patterns vary across the series to serve different performance goals:
- L plates (low angle) are optimized to reduce pressure drops.
- H plates (high angle) maximize flow and heat transfer.
GC Plates
The GC model is part of the GCP series and is tailored for systems with low flow requirements. Featuring a standard chevron design, these plates support a consistent, parallel flow—ideal for smaller or more precise applications.
GFP Plates
Designed to resist fouling and extend service intervals, GFP plates are durable and ideal for challenging environments such as sugar plants, alcohol distilleries, textile factories, paper mills, and the chemical industry.
They are typically paired with seals made of NBR or EPDM, depending on the media and operating temperature.
GD Plates
GD or “double plates” are precision-built to eliminate any risk of cross-contamination. A leak, if it occurs, will remain visible without mixing the two media—an essential feature in sensitive applications like pharmaceuticals or food processing.
