Overview
IHP cast-in heaters are manufactured by embedding resistive heating elements into molten metals such as aluminium, bronze, brass or copper‑nickel, creating a homogeneous solid mass. This construction provides high thermal mass, uniform heat distribution and excellent thermal conductivity. After casting, heaters can be CNC machined to the required geometry for integration into industrial equipment.

Applications

• Heating plates for presses
• Extrusion processes
• Heating rubber and plastics
• Packaging lines
• Curing processes
• Plastics industry
• Food industry
• Pharmaceutical industry
• Semiconductor industry
• Metallurgy
• Petrochemical industry
• Packing industry
• Textile industry

Smart design for cyclic heating and cooling
Designed for cyclic heating and cooling, IHP cast-in heaters can incorporate cooling loops and heat sinks. Cooling loops allow circulation of glycol/water or connection to process cooling for rapid temperature change. Heat sinks use ambient or forced air to accelerate cooldown and improve cycle control.

Manufacturing and customisation
Following casting, heaters can be CNC machined to final dimensions. Voltage and power are adapted to process requirements. Built-in sensors (PT100, TC J and TC K) and multiple connection options (M-thread, cables, flat pin, round pin, etc.) are available. Connection boxes with protection ratings IP54, IP66 and IP67 can be supplied.
