By the mid-1980s, Tranter had moved all production to Wichita Falls and concentrated manufacturing exclusively on the two plate heat exchanger lines. In 1972, Tranter added SUPERCHANGER® Gasketed Plate Heat Exchangers to its line through a licensing agreement. Tranter began the process of relocation from Lansing to this plant. In 1967 Tranter acquired a plant in Wichita Falls, TX, adding oilfield equipment to its product line. In the late 1940s, the firm developed PLATECOIL® Prime Surface Heat Exchangers as immersion heaters or coolers and as exchanger panels integral or attached to process vessels.


Headquartered in Lansing, MI, USA, the company was purchased by J.R.

Olds in 1932 to manufacture eutectic plates for refrigerated delivery trucks. High turbulence results in low scaling/fouling tendency on external and internal surfaces.Tranter, owned by Dover (DOV:NYSE) is a global heat exchange technology company that was created by automotive pioneer R.E. Light-gauge titanium ECONOCOIL panels provide better thermal conductivity than units constructed from heavy-gauge material. Titanium construction provides long service life where highly corrosive environments exist. PLATECOIL styles for liquid heating or cooling media, including hot oil or refrigerants, promote high internal flow velocities for high heat transfer rates.ĮCONOCOIL® hydraulically expanded panels are a special PLATECOIL variant available in an assortment of single-embossed or double-embossed styles and sizes in serpentine or parallel passes. PLATECOIL flow patterns applied for steam provide reserve capacity to compensate for intermittent overloads during start-ups, distributing steam virtually instantaneously to all levels of the plate. Three styles of Multi-Zone and two styles of Serpentine flow configurations provide the right combination of flow rate and heat transfer rate with steam, gases or liquids.
