HEAT EXCHANGER PARTS & COMPONENTS
Metalforms can replace all parts and components for shell & tube heat exchangers with your choice of identical or modified newly manufactured, replacement items.
Replacing key components can restore the performance of a unit that has lost efficiency due to corrosion, fouling, or other damage—and can be a cost-effective way to both ensure optimal performance and prolong the life of your heat transfer equipment.
Turnarounds
Replacement parts such as new bundles, shells, and channels can be fabricated ahead of any scheduled outages or turnarounds—saving you significant time and money.
Emergencies
When parts fail unexpectedly, our 24-7 teams can support your needs with around-the-clock work schedules, multi-track/ parallel project execution, select stock parts, and automated work processes.
