• Ceramic Strip Heaters: up to 450°C
• Finned Ceramic Strip Heaters: up to 450°C
• Incoloy 800 Strip Heaters: up to 750°C

Applications

Our strip heaters deliver highly efficient heat transfer through conduction or convection, making them suitable for heating liquids, gases, and metal or steel surfaces. Typical applications include:

• Presses and platen heating
• Extrusion die heads
• Hot plates and food warming tables
• Shrink tunnels and duct heaters
• Commercial ovens and space-heating units
• Custom industrial machinery requiring precise thermal control

Design Options & Product Details

Mica Strip Heaters

Our mica strip heaters provide an economical and efficient heating solution for temperatures up to 300°C. Constructed with high-quality mica insulation and a nickel-chrome resistance tape, these heaters are enclosed in a durable fabricated outer casing.

Features:

• Lightweight and cost-effective
• Excellent thermal conductivity with a flat, smooth surface
• Available with or without location slots
• Terminal options: threaded terminals or glass-fibre insulated leads
• Custom wattage and voltage options available

These heaters are ideal when uniform surface heating is required and space is limited.

Ceramic Strip Heaters

Engineered for demanding industrial environments, ceramic strip heaters operate efficiently at temperatures up to 450°C. Each heater is built using a stainless-steel sheath and high-temperature ceramic insulation.

Features:

• Internal nickel-chrome wire coil for efficient heat generation
• Magnesium oxide (MgO) filling to eliminate air pockets and maximize heat transfer
• Stainless steel terminals for durability
• Available with or without location slots
• High mechanical strength and excellent thermal shock resistance
