Falk DuraPlate Self-Contained Cooling System for V-Class
Partner brands: FALK
The DuraPlate cooling system is a self-contained heat exchanger designed exclusively for Falk V-Class gear drives. This system allows the unit's thermal capacity to double without requiring electrical power, water, or additional wiring, ensuring reliable operation in the most extreme industrial environments.
- It operates via a pump driven by the gear drive’s intermediate shaft, eliminating the need for external motors or water supply.
- The heat exchanger and hoses are manufactured from heavy-gauge stainless steel to resist corrosion and mechanical impacts.
- It features a thermal valve that redirects oil to the exchanger only when the temperature exceeds 140°F (60°C).
- Unlike conventional coolers, it is a compact unit integrated into the gear drive that occupies minimal additional space.
- By not depending on fractional horsepower electric motors, common points of failure are eliminated, minimizing costly maintenance downtime.
- It utilizes a fan mounted on the high-speed shaft to rapidly dissipate heat from the exchanger.
- Oil circulation is protected by braided stainless steel hoses.
- It typically doubles the gear drive’s thermal capacity, allowing thermal ratings to equal or exceed mechanical ratings.
