Vicarb & Multi-Brand Plate Heat Exchanger Supply
ACME works with maintenance and procurement teams that need a responsive heat exchanger supplier for plates, gaskets and complete units.

V4–V280 plate coverage · Plates, gaskets and complete units · All-brand replacement parts
Production Capacity Behind Every Plate and Gasket
Before you place a replacement order, it helps to know what the factory floor actually looks like. These are the figures stated for ACME's plate heat exchanger production base.
A professional plate and gasket production line runs alongside the press line. For buyers, the practical benefit is straightforward: replacement plates and gaskets are produced in-house rather than sourced through a third party, which keeps model coverage and lead-time conversations in one place.

Six Service Points Worth Checking in a Supplier
Parts supply is only half of the decision. These are the service capabilities stated for ACME's Vicarb and multi-brand support.
✓ Heat exchanger design
Design support is offered so a replacement or new unit can be matched to the duty instead of copied blindly from an old plate pack.
✓ Gasket installation
Gasket installation is handled as a service, which matters when glued or clipped gaskets are involved and downtime is tight.
✓ Dye penetrant testing
Dye penetrant testing is part of the service list, giving you a documented check point rather than a visual guess.
✓ Inventory management
Inventory management support helps sites that keep spares across several units and brands hold the right stock levels.
✓ Custom configuration
Custom heat exchanger configuration is available where a standard plate pattern or unit build does not fit the installation.
✓ All-brand service
All-brand plate heat exchanger service and replacement parts cover sites running mixed-brand equipment, not just Vicarb.
Match Your Situation to the Right Supply Route
Start from your job, not from a catalogue. Each row pairs a real scenario with the supplied product fact it depends on and the detail to confirm before ordering.
| Your situation | Relevant supplied fact | What to confirm before ordering |
|---|---|---|
| Worn plates inside an existing Vicarb gasketed unit | Replacement plates are supplied for the Vicarb V Series from V4 to V280. | Confirm the model number and plate count from the nameplate, then request a plate quote. |
| Leaking or hardened gaskets on a unit already in service | Gasket moulds and gasket installation service are available. | Identify the gasket type and plate model so you order the right gasket. |
| Evaporator or condenser duty in a process circuit | Vicarb plate evaporator and plate condenser support is listed for the V Series range. | Share the process description and the unit you are replacing so the build can be matched. |
| Space-limited installation where a sealed unit is preferred | Vicarb brazed plate heat exchangers, service and replacement parts are offered. | Confirm the application and present a nameplate photo for the closest match. |
| Duty where a gasketed construction is not suitable | Gasketed, brazed and welded plate heat exchangers are all available. | State the construction type required and discuss the duty; dimensional and rating data is confirmed per requirement. |
| Unit integrated with a shell, or a fleet of mixed brands | Plate and shell heat exchanger systems plus all-brand replacement parts are supplied. | Send photos and nameplates for each unit so cross-brand parts can be confirmed. |
