Platecoil designates an infinite variety of efficient and versatile heat transfer products, fabricated from two metal sheets - one or both of which are embossed.

When resistance and spot welded together, these embossings form well-defined passages through which a heating or cooling media flows (clamp-on, immersion coils, fabricated vessels).

Unlike any other plate type coil  -   Platecoil is die formed with well defined passageways. These defined passageways are the reason that Platecoil has low pressure drop while still offering efficiency. By forcing the media to all parts of the coil, hot and cold spots are eliminated. The passages can either be multi-zone, serpentine, or special configurations. Tranter has its own die making facility to produce special dies for Platecoil.

A multi-zone configuration is an exclusive design to Tranter that is specially designed with zoned headers for use with steam, delivering the steam simultaneously to all levels of the Platecoil unit. This configuration also promotes the efficient removal of the steam.

Platecoil's inherent flexibility allows it to be bent, rolled or otherwise formed into any configuration. Pans, vessels, troughs, ducts and special housings have all been built at various times to customer requirements.
