Component Technology - Tubular Heaters, Hopper Heaters, Thin Blade

Overview

Tubular heating elements perform exceptional heat transfer by conduction, convection or radiation to heat liquids, air, gases and surfaces. In most heater assemblies, tubular element design configurations vary — round, triangular, flat press and formed. Bends are made to customer requirements Custom built from 0.200" to 0.475" diameters, a multitude of sheath materials with sheath temperature capabilities up to 1600°F, watt densities to fit many applications and up to 600 volts. Available with over 20 optional terminations and many stocked accessories.

Round Double Ended Tubular Heaters

Tubular Heaters are the most versatile of all electric heating elements. They are capable of being formed into virtually any configuration. Tubular heating elements perform exceptional heat transfer by conduction, convection and radiation to heat liquids, air, gases, and surfaces.

Metric Tubular Sheathed Heaters

Metric tubular heaters are designed for international markets and applications. They are capable of being formed into virtually any configuration and can be fitted with crimped, welded, brazed, or compression glands (metric or BSP). Diameters from 6mm to 22mm.

Single Ended Tubular Heaters

Single Ended Tubular Heating Elements are of similar construction as our standard tubular elements. They terminate at one end which can simplify wiring and installation.

Metric Monotubular Heaters

Metric diameter monotubular heaters specially designed for international markets. Applications include liquid filled radiator and towel dryers, as well as many other OEM applications.

Thin Blade Tubular Heaters

Thin Blade Heaters provide greater surface area inch for inch than the traditional round elements. With the Thin Blade equipment can be designed with more wattage in less linear space than a conventional element.

Hopper Heaters - Tubular Heaters

High Temperature Modular Hopper Heaters can be made to order to your hopper specifications. Low watt densities ensure long life while providing operating temperatures of 250°F (120°C) to 350°F (175°C) or higher.

Specialty Shapes Tubular Heaters

Specialty Shaped Tubular Heating Elements are of similar construction to our standard tubular elements. These shapes can greatly increase rigidity to the element. Heaters that are clamped to a surface have greater surface contact allowing for greater heat conductivity than conventional round elements.

Mini-Tubular Heaters

With the capability to be formed into many shapes, the Mini-Tubular Heater is adaptable to a wide variety of applications. Small diameters allow for a quick response, providing heat in tight spaces where most heaters cannot be installed.
