Shanghai Jiangxing is an experienced gasketed plate heat exchanger manufacturer in China, offering custom-engineered plate and frame designs for a wide range of industrial applications including HVAC, chemical processing, and power generation.
What are Gasketed Plate Heat Exchangers?
A gasketed plate heat exchanger, also known as a plate and frame heat exchanger, transfers heat between two fluids using a series of corrugated metal plates. Shanghai Jiangxing, a specialized manufacturer based in Shanghai, engineers these units to provide highly efficient thermal performance in a compact footprint. The gasketing system seals the plates and directs the fluids into alternating channels, making them ideal for applications requiring frequent cleaning or capacity adjustments.
How to Choose a Plate Heat Exchanger Manufacturer?
Selecting the right manufacturer involves evaluating their engineering capabilities, material expertise, quality control, and export experience. A strong manufacturer like Shanghai Jiangxing offers thermal design using specialized software, a wide selection of plate and gasket materials to match your specific duty, and adherence to international codes like ASME and PED. As a China-based direct manufacturer, we provide significant cost advantages and logistical support for global clients, managed by our contact Blair at blair@shheatex.com.
What materials are used for plates and gaskets?
The choice of materials is critical for compatibility and longevity. Common plate materials we offer include stainless steel (316L), which is standard for many industrial fluids, and more exotic alloys like Titanium and 254 SMO for corrosive applications such as seawater or aggressive chemicals. Gaskets are available in various compounds, including NBR for water and oil applications, EPDM for steam or hot water, and Viton for high-temperature chemical duties. Our engineers help you select the optimal combination for your process.
What are the typical design and performance specifications?
Gasketed plate heat exchanger designs from Shanghai Jiangxing are selected for each enquiry from the frame, plate, gasket, duty and code route. The achievable pressure rating, temperature limit, flow capacity and thermal performance depend on the combination selected and are always project-specific. The design code (GB, ASME or PED/CE), inspection scope and documentation set are specified in the enquiry and confirmed in writing for the order.

Frequently asked questions
Are you a direct manufacturer or a trading company?
Shanghai Jiangxing is a direct manufacturer of gasketed plate heat exchangers. We design, engineer, and fabricate our units at our facility in Shanghai, China, ensuring full control over quality, lead times, and cost. This allows us to offer competitive pricing and deep customization.
Can you manufacture replacement plates and gaskets for other brands?
Yes. We produce replacement plates and gaskets for units originally supplied by brands such as Alfa Laval, GEA, APV and Sondex. Fit is confirmed by verifying the unit model, plate code and pressing pattern and the measured plate dimensions before quotation. Brand names are used for identification only; we are not affiliated with, authorised by or endorsed by the original manufacturers.
What is the typical lead time for a gasketed plate heat exchanger?
Lead time is quoted and confirmed per design, material, quantity and current production schedule. A firm delivery schedule is issued with the order confirmation, so ask for the current schedule when you send your specification.
What information is needed for a quote?
To provide an accurate quote for a gasketed plate heat exchanger, we need your process details: fluid types, flow rates, inlet and outlet temperatures, required heat load, and maximum allowable pressure drop. Our engineers use this data to calculate the optimal unit for your needs.
