Flexible heating element

flatceramic fibernickel-chromium

Description
Ceramic flat strip heaters are compact contact heating elements designed for direct surface heating up to 420°C. They are suitable for industrial contact heating applications such as plastic forming, packaging machines, vacuum packaging, food processing lines, anti-condensation systems and extruders. When integrated with standard PID controllers they provide stable temperature control and fast thermal response.

Construction and options
These heaters use ceramic substrates with spiral resistance wire embedded or threaded through the ceramic. Options include stainless steel sheathing for mechanical protection, flexible uncased heater pads, custom electrical terminations and integrated sensors or thermocouples. Built-to-order voltages and mounting features are available to match machine requirements.

Design flexibility
Ceramic flat heaters can be manufactured to fit bespoke shapes and include holes, slots and fixing points. Electrical configurations available: single-phase, dual-phase or three-phase (specify ∆- or Y-connection). Multiple sensor integration options (Type J, Type K or others) can be supplied.
