Scope:
This manual is intended to be a supplement to the AGC Heat Transfer Proflow Operation Manual.
The information provided here is for the normal operation and installation of the AGC Model Pro31-M
Plate Heat Exchanger. Please read and follow all safety instructions contained in this manual. Failure to
follow all safety recommendations could result in serious injury to the operator or cause damage to the
press. If you need additional information or spare parts for this or any other equipment built by AGC
please contact your local AGC distributor.
Receiving and Inspection:
Each AGC frame is assembled and fully tested at the factory prior to shipping. After testing, the
unit is prepared for shipping. When the press leaves the factory it is in perfect condition. Upon arrival,
carefully inspect the frame for any damage that may have occurred during shipping. If you notice any
damage from shipping or otherwise note it on the shipping paperwork and report it to AGC immediately.
In most cases the frame is shipped assembled with the plates in a separate crate. Because each frame can
weigh over 4,000 pounds, only qualified and licensed forklift truck drivers should lift and position the
frame. Figure 1 shows the major frame components. Depending on the application, your frame may or
may not be equipped with one or more terminals.
