Pillow Plates

Omega Thermo Products is all about Pillow Plates. Due to our own development of the laser welding machine for this type of heat exchanger, we have brought about a huge change in the field of production technology and heat transfer. Omega Engineering, Netherland was founded in 1989 by Ir. Herman J Oonk and Ir. William F Jense. They started manufacturing Pillow Plates by using resistance spot welding. They sold it as a major component of the Falling Film Chiller, and Ice Banks they built as proprietary products. They soon began selling Heat Transfer Panels to manufacturers of storage tanks for the Food and Beverage industry. Omega Engineering is now one of the largest suppliers of this type of heat transfer surface in Western Europe. Omega Thermo Products LLC is located in Wisconsin, U.S. and has full manufacturing abilities. It became clear to Omega Engineering that resistance spot and roll seam welding had drawbacks that were limiting their growth and the application of their product. They found little available welding equipment that would provide a quantum leap forward in welding technology. Being convinced that laser welding would offer such a leap forward, they acquired a Rofin Sinar laser source and developed the first Welding System designed specifically to produce inflatable heat transfer surface. By 1995 Omega Engineering’s business had grown to the extent that another more powerful Laser Welding System was necessary to meet production. They designed, manufactured and placed the new system in service in early 1996. OMEGA Engineering, together with OMEGA Laser Products, have secured their place as the leader within the laser welding industry for heat exchanger plates. With projects for the leading companies in process industry Omega have the capacity and track record to deliver the highest quality available. The skills and knowledge gained through years of experience in providing heat exchanging solutions, ensures that the highest level of workmanship is maintained throughout all of the projects. With our conviction of all the advantages of our product, we always find a solution to cool or heat your product. We manufacture Pillow Plates and Heat Exchangers from our locations in the Netherlands, USA and India. This is the heritage upon which Omega IceHill was founded. Looking at the rapid growth of Indian economy and requirements of this product in the market, Omega, Netherlands decided to have a local presence in India. Omega IceHill Pvt. Ltd. (OIPL) has been set up as a Joint Venture where in Omega has joined hands with IceHill Group to set up a manufacturing facility at Rudrapur in Uttrakhand.
