InKorr Service – New Descaling Tanks

With the increase in demand of our plate heat exchanger services, InKorr has developed a two new descaling tanks to keep up with its growth. Our new and improved tanks consist of a descaling chemical capable of dissolving scale and removing fouling on plates. With this improvement, InKorr is capable of cleaning much larger plates as well as reducing the turnaround time of each service.
– Highlights –
The upgraded tanks increases InKorr’s plate service capacity and optimises our descaling bath process. By effectively and efficiently cleaning plates through bath agitation and heating, our overall servicing time and costs has been significantly reduced.

- Increased Plate Cleaning Range
Dimensions of each tank = 2500mm (L) x 1010mm (W) x 1495mm (H)
The tanks have been designed and built to service most PHE plates & sizes currently available in the market. We can now accommodate large plates as tall as 2400mm and as wide as 1400mm.
- Increased Plate Cleaning Capacity
With our new plate hanging rack custom-built for the tanks, we are able to process up to 60x large plates or more than 200x small-to-medium plates in one bath.
- Improved Cleaning – Agitation
The new pumps that we have installed provides agitation to the descaling bath process. This will allow proper mixing of descaling chemicals, promoting chemical reactions leading to the dissolution of the scale and fouling on the plate surface. Unlike air-sparging, recirculation of the descaling chemicals to generate agitation does not increase its corrosion profile. The agitation also removes the need for pre-rinsing of plates that would otherwise be necessary for non-agitated baths to remove leftover residue/surface fouling that decreases contact with plates.
- Activated Descaling Chemicals – Tank Heating
Heating boosts and increases the effectiveness of the descaling chemicals hence, greatly reducing duration of each descaling bath. With the addition of multiple temperature-controlled heating elements, the new tanks can be safely heated to optimum and desired temperatures for quick and efficient cleaning.
- Reduced Service Turnaround and Lead Times
By improving our cleaning process and increasing our plate cleaning capacity & range, the new descaling tanks will enable us to better service our clients and meet growing demands. Large plate cleaning jobs that had required a few days to complete can now be achieved in a few hours, reducing overall service lead times and costs for our clients.
At InKorr, our focus is service so your costs and reliability are our priority. Our team is available for plate heat exchanger service on-site or at our Melbourne-based workshop, including emergency shutdowns and maintenance. From plate cleaning, testing, and re-gasketing, to heat exchanger repairs, spare parts, or upgrades, we have a solution for you.
Please contact our service team for more information.
