Heating Capabilities
Electric heating products for process heat, surface heat, liquid heating, temperature maintenance and OEM integration. Matched to your application, supplied to your specification.
Process and Tooling Heat
Process and Tooling Heat
Many manufacturing processes depend on heating a tool, mould or workpiece to a precise temperature and holding it there. The heater must fit the physical space, deliver the required wattage, and tolerate the thermal cycling of production duty.
- Cartridge heaters for moulds, dies, platens, sealing bars and packaging jaws
- Band heaters (mica and ceramic) for extruder barrels and injection moulding cylinders
- Coil heaters for hot runner nozzles and manifold systems
- Nozzle heaters for injection moulding nozzle tip heating
- Casted heaters for uniform heat distribution in platens and tooling blocks
Key selection factors
Bore diameter and fit, watt density, operating temperature, sheath or body material, lead configuration, thermocouple integration, voltage and wattage.
Common applications
Plastic injection moulding, extrusion, blow moulding, thermoforming, rubber moulding, die casting, packaging and sealing, lamination.
Liquid and Chemical Heating
Liquid and Chemical Heating
Heating liquids in tanks, vessels, pipelines and process systems requires heaters that are compatible with the medium, sized for the volume and configured for the mounting arrangement.
- Immersion heaters (screw-plug, flanged and over-the-side) for direct liquid heating
- Flange heaters for tank and vessel mounting
- Circulation heaters for inline flow heating
- Oil immersion heaters and chemical heating elements for specialty media
- Titanium heaters for corrosive liquids
- Bobbin heaters and bobbin immersion heaters for compact liquid heating
Key selection factors
Medium type and chemical compatibility, sheath material, immersion depth, flange or screw-plug mounting, watt density, flow rate, tank volume and target temperature.
Common applications
Water heating for industrial processes, oil preheating, chemical tank heating, plating bath maintenance, boiler feed preheating, cleaning solution heating.
Surface and Radiant Heating
Surface and Radiant Heating
Some applications require heat delivered to a surface without direct contact with the product, or flexible heat applied to curved or irregular surfaces. Infrared and silicone rubber heaters serve these needs.
- Infrared heaters (quartz, ceramic, short-wave, medium-wave) for radiant surface heating
- Silicone rubber heaters for flexible, conformable surface heating
- Strip heaters (mica and finned) for flat-surface contact heating
- Electric heating pads for low-temperature surface applications
- Porcelain heaters for insulated surface heating
Key selection factors
Wavelength (for infrared), surface geometry, required heat flux, operating temperature, flexibility requirements, dimensions, voltage and wattage.
Common applications
Paint and coating curing, thermoforming, plastic welding, shrink wrapping, food warming, drying, composite curing, laboratory warming, surface preheating.
Temperature Maintenance
Temperature Maintenance and Trace Heating
Maintaining a target temperature in pipelines, tanks, drums and containers prevents freezing, preserves viscosity and keeps materials within process specification. Trace heating and drum heaters serve this purpose.
- Heat tracing cables for pipelines and vessels
- Drum heaters for maintaining drum contents at working temperature
- Tanker heaters for mobile container heating
- Tubular heaters for general-purpose temperature maintenance
Key selection factors
Pipe or drum diameter, maintain temperature vs ambient, cable or heater length, insulation, power output per metre, control method.
Common applications
Pipeline freeze protection, viscosity maintenance for oils, resins and chemicals, drum heating for dispensing, tank temperature maintenance, bitumen and wax handling.
Replacement and OEM
Replacement and OEM Supply
Whether you need a direct replacement for a failed heater or a supply of heating components for equipment you manufacture, we can match products to your existing specifications.
- Replacement support: share the specifications of the heater being replaced (or photos and measurements if the specification is not available)
- OEM supply: heaters and heating elements for equipment manufacturers, including custom specifications and scheduled delivery
Key selection factors
Existing part specifications, drawings or photos, quantity and supply frequency.
Common applications
Maintenance replacements, OEM equipment integration, production-line builds.
