cartridge heaters Low density

Primarly used for tools or solid bodies warming

DESCRIPTION

Low density cartridge heaters are used for lower temperatures and low surface loads. Resistive coils are placed in longitudinal grooves of ceramic bodies, and afterwards bodies are placed in stainless steel tubes. Tubes are filled with MgO, thus providing optimum heat transfer and reliability at reasonable price. Although, this is old and outdated solution, low density cartridge heaters are still in use for all not too demanding aplications. We produce low density cartridge heaters as per customers request and wide stock of raw materials enables us to answer to almost every request in short period of time. For energy saving and longer life time of the heater, it is advisable to bore holes with a tolerance of H7.

APPLICATIONS

  • Heating of tools and machine parts
  • Packaging machines
  • Shoe machine industry
  • Braking systems
  • Compressors
  • Towel dryers
  • Coffee machines
