Pillow Plate tank walls


In many industries nowadays Omega Pillow Plates are used to heat or cool tanks. Pillow Plates have a higher heat transfer speed and are often cheaper in production because no post-processing needs to take place. In addition, thinner materials can be used with Pillowplates than with half-pipe tank walls or double-sided constructions.
Material parts of a tank that you want to heat or cool using Pillow Plates, can be ordered or delivered. Your tank plates are welded by our laser welding machines, after which you can roll them in the desired shape.
After installing the tank, the Pillow Plates are inflated.

 

Half pipe / Double vessel wall

Pillow Plates jacketed tank components are a more efficient
solution than half-pipe and double wall constructions.

At Omega Thermo Products jacketed tank components are welded using the latest technology of laser welding Pillow Plates. Because of the high efficiency and easy assembly, the pillow plate is a better and cheaper alternative than the traditional constructions. In addition, it is easier to make a recess (for example for a manhole) in the jacket of the tank at the desired location.

We are pleased to help you with a heat transfer calculation.

BENEFITS PILLOW PLATES COMPARED TO HALF PIPE AND DOUBLE WALL TANKS

  • Lower operating costs because less man hours are required

  • Excellent heat transfer
  • Improved control characteristics due to low volume in the jacket.
  • Even distribution of cooling and/or heating media

  • Design not limited due to complex gemometries

  • Less volume

 

Tank plates for all industries

Our Omega Pillow Plates are used in the food industry for the production of milk, beer, wine, beverages and cocoa tanks. But also in pressure tanks in the chemical and pharmaceutical industry. Omega Pillow Plates tank plates are suitable for every tank that needs to be heated or cooled, like:

  • Beverage processing vessels
  • Fermenters, beer vessels, cooling vessels
  • Dairy processing vessels
  • Pharmaceutical and processing vessels
  • Storage tanks
  • Reactor vessels

Omega Thermo Products manufactures also low pressure bottoms (customer provided), torispherical, ellipsoidal, hemispherical, flanged and reverse heads with Pillow Plates.
