Your Alfa Laval M series needs new parts. Bad copy parts can cause big leaks. We make exact match parts to solve your problem fast.

Yes, our Alfa Laval M Series1 plates and gaskets are a true 1:1 technical match. We focus on A-Measurement synchronization2. You can use your original tightening bolts3 safely. We match the gasket groove depth4 at the micron level to stop leaks and make assembly very easy.

Alfa Laval M Series Plates and Gaskets 1:1 Match

I visited a factory last year. The manager bought cheap plates. His team could not close the heat exchanger. The plates were too thick. The factory stopped for three days. You do not want this to happen. Read on to see how we stop this problem.

Why is A-Measurement Synchronization crucial for Alfa Laval M Series?

You buy non-original plates. You try to close the plate pack. The size is wrong. We fix this with perfect A-Measurement synchronization for your peace of mind.

The A-Measurement is the exact length of the closed plate pack. Our plates match the original size perfectly. You do not need to change your original tightening bolts. We copy the gasket groove depth at the micron level.

A-Measurement Synchronization for Alfa Laval M Series

The Secret of Gasket Grooves

Ahmad is a plant manager in Indonesia. He bought some cheap spare parts two years ago. He told me a very sad story. His team put the new plates in the frame. They tried to tighten the bolts. The bolts were too short. The new plates had bad gasket grooves. The grooves were too shallow. This made the whole plate pack too long. Ahmad lost a lot of money that day.

We do things differently at TIVO. We know the Alfa Laval M series is a classic product. The gasket groove depth is the most important part. We control this depth at the micron level. This means our plates fit exactly like the original parts. You just take out the old plates. You put our new plates in. You tighten the bolts to the original number. The machine works perfectly again. You do not need to guess. You do not need to buy new bolts.

Feature Original Brand Bad Copy Parts TIVO Parts
Gasket Groove Depth Perfect Too shallow or deep Perfect match
A-Measurement Standard Too long or short Standard match
Bolt Use Original bolts Need new bolts Original bolts
Assembly Time Fast Very slow Fast

How do we act as the guardian of classic Alfa Laval models5?

The original maker stops making your old model. They tell you to buy a whole new machine. This costs too much money. We protect your classic models.

We are the guardian of classic models like M3, M6, and M10. We keep making these high-quality plates and gaskets. You do not need to buy an expensive new machine. We help you use your old machine for many more years.

Save Your Capital Expenditure

Sergey works for a big energy company in Turkey. He has many Alfa Laval M10 heat exchangers. These machines work very well. But the original maker told Sergey a bad thing. They said the M10 is too old. They wanted Sergey to buy a completely new model. A new machine costs a lot of capital expenditure6. Sergey did not have the budget for this. He called me for help.

I told Sergey not to worry. We have the molds for M3, M6, and M10. We produce these parts every day. We sent Sergey the parts he needed. He fixed his old machines. They run like new today. He saved thousands of dollars. We believe good machines should work for a long time. We do not force you to upgrade. We give you the parts to keep your factory running. We want to be your long-term partner.

Can upgraded gasket materials stop leaks in industrial oil cooling8?

Standard gaskets break down in hot oil. Your machine starts to leak. This creates a big mess and stops work. We offer better materials to stop leaks.

We give you higher nitrile content NBR-HT9 for industrial oil cooling. This material lasts longer in hot oil. We also offer EPDM-HT10 for strong cleaning agents. These better materials stop leaks and save you from bad accidents.

Material Choices for Extreme Work

David works in the USA. He uses heat exchangers to cool industrial oil. Standard NBR gaskets fail very fast in his plant. The hot oil makes the rubber hard. Then the rubber cracks. The oil leaks out. David spent too much time cleaning up oil spills. He asked me if we had a better way.

I told David about our special materials. The Alfa Laval M series is very popular in general industry and HVAC. Many people use it for oil cooling. So we made a better gasket. We use NBR-HT. This rubber has more nitrile in it. It can handle hot oil much better than standard rubber. It stays soft and seals the plates tight. We also have customers who wash their machines with strong chemicals. For them, we make EPDM-HT gaskets. These materials give you a longer run time. You stop worrying about sudden leaks.

Fluid Type Standard Gasket TIVO Upgraded Gasket Benefit
Industrial Hot Oil Standard NBR NBR-HT No hard cracks
Strong Cleaning Agents Standard EPDM EPDM-HT Resists chemicals
Normal Water Standard NBR Standard NBR Good price
