JAG F plate and frame heat exchangers are a new, revolutionary solution, ensuring not only increased flow turbulence, but also extensive heat exchange surface.
The HEXONIC JAG F plate and frame heat exchanger is a new-generation gasketed plate heat exchanger designed to deliver high thermal performance, extensive heat exchange surface, and reliable operation across a wide range of installations. Its innovative JAG heating plate corrugation pattern increases flow turbulence, improving heat transfer while helping reduce sediment accumulation.
Developed through extensive product research, the JAG F is engineered to be more compact, lighter, and more efficient while remaining adaptable to individual operating requirements. In addition to its plate technology, the JAG F includes a range of frame and gasket design solutions that support easier installation, dependable sealing, and efficient maintenance in demanding applications.
Key Features
- High thermal performance: The innovative heating plate corrugation pattern increases turbulence and improves heat exchange efficiency.
- Extensive heat exchange surface: The JAG plate design provides a large effective transfer area in a compact exchanger footprint.
- Reduced sediment accumulation: The jagged channel design helps limit deposit build-up during operation.
- Lower overall pressure drop: The exchanger is designed to combine high performance with decreased pressure losses.
- Adaptable configuration: The design can be adjusted to installation operating parameters by selecting the proper number and size of heating plates.
- Suitable for aggressive media: Heating plates can be made of stainless steel or titanium for aggressive media systems or pools with salt water.
- Dismountable design: The exchanger can be opened for cleaning, servicing, and future extension if required.
- Double-wall option available: An optional double-wall system helps prevent media mixing and enables quick leak detection in critical installations.
- Wide product range: JAG F is offered across a broad range of sizes and configurations.
Design

U-legFacilitates plate pack installation. It is also intended for mounting the heat exchanger to the mounting platform
-
Additional front feetstabilize the heat exchanger and facilitate its firm mounting to the mounting platform
-
Special carrying bar profileIntended for suspending heater plates in larger models. It is also intended for proper plate positioning. It is part of the five point mounting system
-
Lock washerfacilitates and speeds up unscrewing of the tightening bolts
-
Front and rear cover platemade of painted carbon steel, different colors available on demand
-
Connections size: DN32 to DN350
Finite element method
The application of the Finite Element Method (FEM Analysis) was intended to optimize the design in terms of durability, mainly by improving the stress distribution on cover plates and modifying fasteners, which led to expanding the scope of working parameters of the device.
