Weideman Engineering
Plate Heat Exchanger in Cape Town

Currently most South African wine cellars have Weideman Plates fitted, and additional plates are regularly acquired. Weideman Engineering has been the leader in the development and production of heat exchanging systems since 1976.

The company has been owned and operated by the Weideman family for over 30 years and it bears their name as a seal of quality. We do general repairs to stainless steel equipment (seam welding and tig welding), as well as any sub-contracting work that requires the use of the equipment below. Weideman Engineering has been the leader in the development and production of heat exchanging systems since Have a look at our long list of satisfied customers. Weideman Engineering has been the leader in the development and production of heat exchanging system. Made from pressed and seam welded stainless steel sheets, the Weideman Heat Exchanger is used for cooling, fermentation, stabilisation or heating of liquids, using water, glycol, refrigerant or steam. It is easy to clean, with no crevices to trap particles of dirt. Weideman offers a wide variety of uses in the wine and food industries. The direct cooling or heating in tanks makes Weideman Plates more efficient than dimple jackets or running water over the outside of tanks, because there is minimal temperature loss. The plates cool or heat on both sides simultaneously, therefore resulting in a substantial savings on electricity usage. In the case of jacket cooling or heating, only the energy from one side is utilised, while the other side’s is wasted and lost into the atmosphere. Made from stainless steel (grade 316), which is corrosion resistant and hygienic. Closed system with minimal heat loss using small quantity of coolant. Used with high-pressure spray nozzles, fast cleaning and sterilising during product change-over is ensured. Weideman Wine Barrel Heat Exchangers are modelled on the Weideman Heat Exchangers (see detailed description above) and manufactured to clients’ requirements. The double seam welded, stainless steel heat exchanger comes as one compact unit that fits into a barrel plug. Weideman Wine Barrel Heat Exchangers allow breathing and are, like the Weideman Heat Exchangers, very easy to clean.
