Hexonic JAG SHIELD Plate & Shell Heat Exchanger

High‑Performance Heat Transfer for Demanding Industrial Applications

Overview
The Hexonic JAG SHIELD is a cutting-edge plate & shell heat exchanger designed to combine compactness, robustness, and outstanding thermal performance. Featuring Hexonic’s patented JAG corrugated plate technology, it achieves up to 10 % higher heat transfer efficiency and 10 % lower pressure drop compared to conventional designs.

Key Benefits
Enhanced Turbulence & Heat Transfer
The innovative jagged corrugation pattern on the heating plates significantly increases flow turbulence and heat exchange surface area, accelerating heat transfer while reducing fouling

Optimized Compact Design
The compact, lightweight construction delivers high performance in tight spaces. Plates are laser-welded and robotic TIG-welded for leak-proof integrity and durability
