Heating solutions

We offer a vast selection of different heating solutions, mostly bespoke to specific customer designs however some standard products are available within the key product groups. The main product groups are as follows;

Flexible surface heaters

Cartridge style elements

Incoloy or stainless tubular

Industrial air

Flexible surface heaters are suitable for a wide range of applications. Widely used where space is a problem they offer low profile uniform heat distribution. These elements are moisture resistant, easy to control and offer very high electrical insulation properties.

Typical applications include:

• Scientific equipment
• Hotplates
• Cabinet warming/Telecoms
• Drum heating/trace heating
• Tank heating
• Composite curing
• Refrigeration/catering equipment

• Temperatures up to 200 deg c max, 180 deg c constant
• Elements can be supplied flat or formed to fit around pipes etc
• Silicone rubber, Kapton and Polyester materials available
• 3M self adhesive backing if required
• Etched foil and wire wound capability
• Low voltage and mains
• Custom designs, any shape or size to suit the application
• UL and CSA approvals

Cartridge style heating elements

Cartridge heaters are designed to provide localised heat in contact applications. The elements are encased in a st/steel sheath surrounded by compacted magnesium oxide powder. This allows for high watt densities where good heat transfer is achieved.

Typical applications include:

• Laboratory Equipment
• Printing heads
• Sealing machines
• Injection moulding tools
• Laminating machines

• Various diameters and lengths available
• High and low watt density versions
• Different terminations possible/ custom lead exits
• High temperature fibreglass and PTFE lead materials
• Sealing for protection against moisture ingress
• The ability to add custom threads and bushes

Tubular heating elements can be used in a variety of applications. Straight lengths or formed into any bend configuration these hard wearing elements provide fast heat up times and high watt density.

Typical applications include:

• Ovens
• Incubators
• Vending Machines
• Catering equipment
• Autoclaves
• Boilers

• Full custom element capability, any size, bend configuration and termination available
• Elements can be fully sealed to protect against moisture ingress
• Incoloy 800/825, St/steel and Titanium sheath materials available
• Rapid heat up time
• Extremely resistant to shock and vibration
  

Hot-air systems are used in numerous industrial production processes and many different tools are available to suit any application
