Easy Closing Sanitary Plate Heat Exchangers
NT100X ECO-AXS
Eco-AXS – Your access to convenience, reliability,
efficiency and profitability. Reduce the time
required to open and close your PHE with
the Eco-AXS frame. The Eco-AXS combines
a one touch closure system with the
advanced NT plate technology for the most
advanced plate and frame heat exchanger.
Three different closure systems allow you to
determine the level of automation you
require. With capacities up to 5500 ft2, the
Eco-AXS can handle even the largest and
most difficult applications.

General
The rotating tie rods open and close the moveable end plate and are synchronized via a chain
drive, gear reducer and drive motor combination. The drive motor, either internally or externally
mounted, is connected to a gear reducer and industrial strength H-series chains which rotate and
in-turn rotate the tie rods. With this system the tie rods are in compression for a safer and more
reliable operation of your PHE.
Three Different Closing Design Options Available
Automatic
With a simple touch of the screen the movable end plate opens or closes to a precalculated dimension.
Features Include
Allen Bradley PLC
7” Touchscreen
Jog open/close for use with small adjustments
Reprogrammable to handle future changes in plate and grid counts.
3 user levels for safest operation
7.5 in/min high speed
1.5 in/min low speed
Internally Powered
The same closure system used with the automatic system is used and the operator measures for proper closing dimension.
The task has been made easier with the use of a teathered control that reaches the full length of the plate pack.
Features Include
System will only move when the button is held down
Teathered pendant allows a single operator to monitor the
plate pack while closing
7.5 in/min high speed
1.5 in/min low speed
Externally Powered
With this option you can power multiple frames with one external drive, simplifying the installation and operation of multiple
heat exchangers.
Features Include
4 speed transmission with variable speed motor
Reversible to open and close frame
Standard 110V power with standard plug
Lightweight (20 lb) and durable
Attaches vial tool-free, quick release to outside of drive cabinet
Can be used with Automatic and Internally Powered units as back-up
6.0 in/min high speed
1.0 in/min low speed

What Makes OptiWave™ Better?
Why PosLoc™ Is The Best In The Industry
Superior design. Conventional plates allow most media to flow
Plates with PosLoc™ allow the PHE to tightly seal every time it is
directly from one port to the other, reducing the flow in the corner
closed. The plate pack has corner lead-ins that use the compression
farthest from the inlet port. This “short circuiting” reduces the full
force of the pressure plates to self-align the heat transfer plates,
use of the available heat transfer area, which will require more plates
virtually eliminating plate pack snaking. Shoulders on all gasket

out of alignment, and after repeated servicing. The benefit to you is
years of smooth and hassle free maintenance and operation.

How EcoLoc™ Can Help You
Our gaskets work in perfect combination with our plates to ensure
worry free operation. Our chamfered opening allows each gasket
to settle into position and prevents the lock tab from being severed.
Gaskets can be easily installed without tools or adhesive, and self-seat
during closing. It takes just seconds to replace the gaskets making
maintenance quick and easy.
