Innovative Technology: High-Efficiency Heat Exchangers with Pillow Plate Laser Welding
Pillow Plates are heat exchanger plates that can be used for industrial cooling or heating of a variety of products. These laser welded plates have endless applications in different industries, including cooling milk, soft drinks, wine or beer. They are also used in various other sectors like the meat processing, chemical and pharmaceutical industries.
Advantages of laser welded pillow plates:
- Faster production with less material;
- Laser welding is based on the principle of melting the basic material without any direct mechanical contact with the processed surface;
- All welds are extremely accurate and consistent, any additional weld finishing is not needed;
- Laser welding enables various welding lines, welding of spirals and irregular forms; any openings and connectors on the basic surface can be easily avoided;
- Welds are not deep and are made with low heat input which reduces the possibility of any deformations of the basic material; And the inner surface of the jacket retains its initial shape after welding;
- A better through-flow of the cooling medium gives a higher cooling effect;
- A simple adjustment of the pillow plate surface to various connectors on the jacket tank (door, fittings and other connectors) without losing the cooling surface;
- Quality and aesthetic design; all welds retain the metal shine of the basic material;
- As any shape can be designed and welded, tailored solutions can be created;
- Fully automated welding-process with low cost of labor and high-quality end product.

- Why choose laser welding?
The quality of the pillowplate is determined by the quality of the weld. Laser brings high welding speed, low heat input, extremely accurate and consistent, to ensure high productivity and perfect welding quality.
Laser is energetic, because for the same welded thicknesses, with resistance it is necessary to install systems with a power of 300 kW, of which 200kW is absorbed. With lasers, only 30 kW are needed, so in this case in terms of energy costs we are at a ratio of 1 to 10. Ultimately, laser welding has a high initial plant cost, but the so-called "life cycle cost" is very low, and in fact within a short time it is possible to amortize this cost.
The laser also makes the product more resistant in thermally altered areas, allowing greater corrosion and mechanical resistance of the welded materials.
Laser welding pillowplate is the general trend and the inevitable result of industrial upgrading.
