Heat Exchanger
Our Model
At CONMETAL, we design and manufacture shell and tube heat exchangers fully customized. Each unit is defined based on actual operating conditions: thermal requirements, fluids involved (compatibility, viscosity, presence of solids), temperature and pressure ranges, and cleaning and maintenance needs.
The result is a robust, efficient, and reliable unit, suitable for heating, condensing, evaporating, and heat recovery applications across a wide variety of industries.
Features
- One or multiple passes on the tube or shell side, as required by the process.
- Designs that withstand high pressures and temperatures, when necessary.
- Construction in carbon steel, stainless steels, or special alloys, selected according to the primary fluids and operating conditions.
- Engineering and manufacturing with best practices and quality control at every stage.
- Operation in co-current or countercurrent flow.
- Tube bundle sized to achieve the target heat transfer without exceeding the pressure drop.
- Internal baffles that guide the flow to improve thermal exchange and ensure mechanical stability.
- Ends and heads that facilitate maintenance and accommodate thermal expansion when applicable.
- Gaskets and seals compatible with operating conditions and the fluid.
- Connections and nozzles according to the standard you require.
- Supports for safe mounting.
- Thermal insulation.
- Preparation for instrumentation (temperature, pressure, flows, levels).

Energy
Designed primarily for the fishing industry. The CONMETAL Cooker is a unit for continuous operation with indirect heating, with capacities ranging from 10 t/hr to 60 t/hr of raw material.
Both the cylinder and the rotor are heated with boiler steam.
The unit is manufactured as a horizontal cylinder through which the raw material is conveyed by a rotor configured as a screw conveyor. The screw flights are stamped and have been specially designed to achieve cooking with a shorter residence time and therefore better preservation of the product’s protein qualities.
The CONMETAL Cooker is also designed for easy chemical cleaning. We also have reconditioned units available, subject to stock verification at our plant.
Heat Exchanger
- Customized to your process: we calculate based on flow rates, inlet/outlet temperatures, and pressure limits, so the equipment performs without oversizing.
- Wide range of process and maintenance features: ample access, inspection flanges where needed, clearance space to remove the bundle, drain and vent points, preparation for sensors, and internal layout that facilitates cleaning (mechanical or chemical/CIP) and component disassembly. All designed to reduce downtime and increase availability.
- Long service life: materials and consumables selected for corrosive environments or with suspended solids.
- Documentation and traceability: drawings, material lists, and inspection/testing protocols.
If the process requires it, we also manufacture plate, coil, and disc heat exchangers, among others, subject to technical evaluation.
- Heating of liquids or gases.
- Condensation of vapors and heat recovery.
- Evaporation and auxiliary in-line thermal services.
- Utilization of waste heat to improve overall efficiency.
