Assembly of Plate Gaskets
Re-gasketing of cleaned plates. We remove the old gasket and adhesive, clean the groove and seat a new gasket. The new gasket uses the attachment type your frame already uses.
- Clip-on and glued gaskets
- One-to-one replacement parts
- Groove cleaned back to metal
- Gaskets made in Chennai
About Us
Since 2016, CJP has supplied, manufactured and serviced plate heat exchangers for industry and OEMs across India. From our Chennai works we make gasketed units, cooling tower fills and replacement plates and gaskets, and our crews install and service them.
We re-gasket plates with gaskets made at our own works, clip-on or glued, to match your plates.

Assembly of Plate Gaskets
Most plate heat exchanger leaks are gasket leaks. A gasket that has taken a set, hardened or been crushed will not seal again, however tight the frame is pulled. We re-gasket the pack with a one-to-one replacement for the original part, clip-on or glued, in the attachment your plates already carry.
Tell us the make, model and plate count of the unit, and what it runs on. We quote against the job, not a price list.
How Assembly of Plate Gaskets Works
The steps in order, from taking the unit apart to putting it back together.Old gasket and adhesive removed
We lift out the old gasket and remove the adhesive from the groove. Adhesive left in the groove holds the new gasket proud. A gasket that sits proud leaks.
Groove cleaned and checked
We clean the groove and check it along its length and around the ports. A distorted groove will not hold a gasket, whatever is bonded into it.
New gasket seated
We seat the replacement gasket in the attachment type the plate uses: clipped on, or glued where the plate is built for glued gaskets. Tell us the media and operating temperature. We confirm the gasket grade for the duty before we fit anything.
Set and checked before rebuild
Glued gaskets cure under even pressure before we rebuild the pack. We check each plate for a gasket that is lifted, twisted or short at a corner.
Send Us the Unit Details
To quote assembly of plate gaskets we need:
- Make, model and plate count of the unit
- Nameplate photo, or a photo of a single plate
- Clip-on or glued, if you know which your plates take
- Operating temperature and what the unit runs on both sides
Workshop & Site
We clean plates, run dye penetrant tests, re-gasket and refurbish frames at our works in Chennai. We install units and service them on site at your plant. Units that come to us go back packed for transport.
We service every brand we supply spares for. Alfa Laval, GEA & Kelvion, Sondex and Tranter plate packs all go through the same cleaning, testing and re-gasketing line.
Turnaround depends on the plate count. It also depends on whether we refurbish the frame with the pack. We confirm the date once we have seen the unit, and again with the order acknowledgement.

Frequently Asked Questions
01Will you service a unit you did not supply?
Yes. Most units that come to us were bought from someone else. We service Alfa Laval, GEA & Kelvion, Sondex and Tranter units, and the gasketed units we build ourselves. We hold the plates and gaskets for them.
02Is the work done at our plant or at your works?
We install units and service them on site at your plant. We do plate cleaning, dye penetrant testing, re-gasketing and frame refurbishment at our works in Chennai. The cleaning line and the blast booth are there.
03How long will our unit be out of service?
It depends on the plate count. It also depends on whether we refurbish the frame with the pack. We confirm the date once we have seen the unit, and again with the order acknowledgement. You can then plan the shutdown.
04What happens if some plates fail the DP test?
We set them aside and show you the result before we rebuild anything. You decide: replace the failed plates, replace the full pack, or replace the unit. We quote all three. We do not proceed until you choose.
05Do you collect and return the unit?
We pack serviced units and plate packs carefully before they go back, so nothing is damaged in transit. Tell us where the unit is. We quote collection and delivery with the rest of the job.
06How often should a plate heat exchanger be opened and cleaned?
It depends on the duty and the water. Common signs are a falling outlet temperature, a rising pressure drop across the unit, or a leak at the plate pack. If you see any of these, send us the readings. We tell you what the unit likely needs.
