AGC AR51 Hydraulic Frames
AR51 Hydraulic frames from AGC are engineered to make opening and closing your plate heat exchanger fast, safe, and efficient. This minimizes downtime and maximizes production in processing environments. Compared to traditional tie-bar or manual spindle frames, AGC’s hydraulic closure removes the need for manual labor, provides consistent compression every time, and improves access for maintenance and inspection.
