Product Type: Gasketed Plate Heat Exchangers
Description:
SIGMA M76 / M96 are high-performance units in the SIGMAFIT series by API Schmidt-Bretten. Designed for flows up to 480 m³/h, each unit offers a heat transfer surface area up to 280 m². Suitable for media with particle sizes up to 2 mm and viscosities up to 10 000 mPas, operating at pressures up to 25 bar. Plate sizes: SIGMA 76: 0.76 m², SIGMA 96: 1.0 m², with DN 150 connections. Corrugated “fishbone” plate patterns provide flexibility in flow and thermal performance.

Key advantages and features of SIGMA® heat exchangers
-
High heat transfer thanks to corrugated plates with turbulent flow
-
Compact design and low liquid hold-up — larger heat transfer area with smaller footprint
-
Reliable sealing with SIGMAFIX or glued option; double-seal safety against mixing flows
-
Easy maintenance — fast opening for CIP cleaning, gasket or plate replacement
-
Modular design — add/remove plates to adapt capacity
-
Self-cleaning effect due to turbulence
-
Wide application range: food, chemical, pharmaceutical industries, HVAC
