Who we are

The company behind PlutoHX.

PlutoHX is engineered and supported by Maltirra Solutions. We bridge the gap between complex engineering codes and modern software design.

PlutoHX brings the mechanical design of shell-and-tube heat exchangers, often done in spreadsheets today, into a fast and modern desktop application that is quick to learn and pleasant to use.

The company and its products

How Maltirra Solutions and the Pluto family fit together.

Maltirra Solutions is the company. The Pluto family is its product family, one family mark with a color for each product: PlutoHX first, then PlutoVS and PlutoTK. PlutoGen works inside PlutoHX.

How we work

Five principles, drawn from the product.

  1. The codes come first

    Each part is designed to the rule that applies to it, and the rule is named in the result.

  2. The engineer approves

    PlutoHX parses the data; you review and approve it before any design is made.

  3. Every result shows its working

    Formula, inputs, steps, and code reference, ready for a reviewer or an Authorized Inspector.

  4. Designed with fabrication in mind

    The model shows how the exchanger is built, assembled, and maintained, not only the calculation.

  5. One family of tools

    The same way of working for heat exchangers, pressure vessels, and storage tanks.

Coming Winter 2026
