Industrial Heaters

Thermal runaway characterization requires more than triggering failure—it requires controlled, repeatable stimulus and high-fidelity data capture.
For test lab engineers working with lithium-ion cells, modules, and packs, external heater-induced thermal runaway is one of the most precise methods to evaluate failure behavior under defined conditions.
By applying a calibrat... Read more...

Induction heating supports electrification initiatives by replacing fossil fuel–based process heating with a highly efficient, electrically driven method that delivers precise, on-demand heat directly within the part, improving energy use and reducing emissions. Read more...

Operating Temperature

Impact: High operating temperatures can significantly reduce the lifespan of a cartridge heater. Continuous exposure to temperatures near or beyond the heater’s rated capacity can lead to rapid degradation.

Consideration: Ensure that the cartridge heater’s temperature rating matches the application requirements. Where possible... Read more...

Common Heaters Used by OEMs Across a Variety of Sectors

Heater manufacturers produce a variety of heaters tailored to meet the specific demands of OEMs in the plastics packaging, rubber and plastics, aerospace, food and beverage, medical, and healthcare industries. We’re providing a breakdown of the common heaters used in each sector, along with their general functions.

Box Heaters built as square or rectangle heaters are efficient for heating dies on plastic extruders or the barrels of twin extruders. They can be manufactured in one or two piece construction. Please supply detailed drawings or sample part when ordering or for quoting. Read more...
