Section 3 - Surface Heating

Trace Heating

Specification:- Self regulating, fixed length, or site-cut zone parallel heating tapes, as well as
ptfe or pvc insulated, or alloy sheathed heating cables. Made in various power ratings, voltages,
& sheath materials, most can have stainless steel overbraiding for mechanical protection, and/or
a polymer coating. Glassfibre insulated versions are available for high temperature use, as well
as a full range of joiners, couplers, junction boxes, thermostats, fixings, etc. EEx rated tapes, termination's, & thermostats are also available.

Application:- Used for frost protection, temperature maintenance, or process temperature
raising of pipework containing water, chemicals, fuel oils, asphalt, tar, bitumen, wax, and other substances.

 

Flexible Mat Heaters



Specification:- Consisting of resistance wire, tape, or pre-insulated heating cable encapsulated
in layers of flexible insulating material. These mats, jackets, blankets, & panels, can be used at temperatures of up to 400 deg.C., and are available in a wide variety of materials, such as silicon rubber, kapton, nomex, mylar, quartz cloth, glass cloth, epoxy, aluminium foil, & moulded GRP.
They can be self adhesive, strapped to the heated surface, or held in place by integral eyelet's,
and can have built in thermostats or thermocouples. EEx rated versions are available.

Application:- Used for temperature maintenance, frost protection, and anti-condensation
heating of tanks & vessels, conical hoppers, vats, and any irregularly shaped surfaces, in
industries such as petrochemicals, mining, pharmaceuticals, medical technology, food processing, chemicals, and anywhere that storage or transport of heat sensitive materials is necessary.

Infra-Red Emitters & Assemblies

Specification:- Long, medium, & short wave infra-red emitters & assemblies,using ceramic,
quartz tube, and metal sheathed elements in a variety of styles & power ratings. Ceramic
emitters can have built in thermocouples if required. Standard size reflectors and projectors are available, as well as emitters for replacement into existing I/R generators, while full panels & assemblies can be built to cover almost any area, and to suit almost any process application.

Application:- Used in personnel comfort heating, animal husbandry, and many processes
involving non contact drying, curing, warming, thermoforming, shrinking, cooking, & food
temperature maintenance.

Drum Heaters



Specification:- Metal clad or silicon rubber clamp-on types with built in thermostat, to be used
singly, or in multiples. Made to suit standard drum sizes. Rubber types are also made for use on
plastic drums & containers of various sizes. Also full wrap around jacket types, with lid and
separate heated base, induction heated units for hazardous areas, trolley type mobile units, and
direct immersion heaters, for insertion through the bung hole. Non standard sizes made to order.
Hazardous area heater available for hire by week or month.

Application:- Heating of various liquids & chemicals in drums & containers, either for safe
storage, or to achieve fluidity prior to pumping or processing.

IBC Heaters



Specification:-
Base heater - Silicon rubber mat heater which can easily be dropped into & removed from the
IBC cage. It has a built in PTC temperature sensor, and comes with electronic temperature
controller and RCD.

Jacket - Made from water resistant, flame retardant insulated polyurethane, with two separate
heating circuits and thermostats. Also available as an insulation jacket only. The lid is not heated.


Application:- Heating of substances contained in 1000 litre intermediate bulk containers. The
base heater’s sensitive control make sit suitable for both high energy absorbing products, and
high viscosity, temperature sensitive materials.The insulation jacket and lid will increase heat
up time, while combining the heated jacket with the base heater will give maximum heating
capacity.

Heating & Insulation Jackets



Specification:- Made from various high temperature resistant materials, such as aluminised
glass cloth, PTFE coated glass fabric, woven glass cloth, etc. with needle mat insulation of
fibreglass, Superwool™, etc. Stitched into literally any shape using high temperature thread.
Capable of withstanding temperatures of up to 600°C. depending on materials used. Available
with built in heating circuits to raise or maintain process temperatures, and/or with built in
forced air cooling circuits. Various forms of attachment are used, such as hooks and lacing, ties, velcro™ , grommets, straps, banding, etc.

Application:- Used in many industrial applications, such as process temperature maintenance, vacuum bakeout, mould preheating, extruder line barrel insulation, pump and valve freeze
protection, antenna freeze protection, viscosity control, composite processing, etc.
