PRECISION CONTACT HEATING

SUSFOIL Ultrathin Planar Heaters

Ultra-Thin, Fast-Response Heating for Precision Applications

SUSFOIL is an ultra-thin planar electric heater based on specially developed stainless-steel foil. A precision etching process enables an exceptionally thin heating element of approximately 30 μm. Its low thermal mass provides rapid heating and cooling response, while the large contact area enables highly efficient heat transfer. Heater patterns can be engineered for uniform temperature distribution or different temperature zones within the same heating surface. Various insulation materials and heater configurations can be selected according to the required temperature, installation conditions and application.

30 μm Heating Element • Fast Thermal Response • High Heating Efficiency • Uniform Temperature Distribution • Custom Heater Patterns

HIGH-TEMPERATURE FLEXIBLE HEATING

IR Ceraflex Heaters

HIGH-TEMPERATURE FLEXIBLE HEATING

IR Ceraflex Heaters

Flexible Far-Infrared Heating up to 1,000°C

IR Ceraflex is a flexible ceramic infrared heater designed for high-temperature industrial heating applications up to 1,000°C. Ceramic insulators with strong far-infrared radiation characteristics are woven together with electric heating wire to create a flexible mesh structure. This construction allows the heater to conform to flat, curved and complex surfaces while providing stable and uniform heating. Heater geometry can be customized for the application, including flat, tunnel, wave, cylindrical, trapezoidal and other special configurations. Mounting elements and provisions for temperature sensors can also be incorporated into the heater design.

HIGH-STRENGTH STRUCTURAL HEATING

Board Heaters

High-Strength Modular Surface Heating up to 320°C

Board Heaters combine mica heating elements with a high-strength aluminum extrusion structure to create a thin, rigid surface heater capable of operating at temperatures up to 320°C. The unique cross-sectional construction provides high surface strength and excellent temperature uniformity. Heat is transferred through a combination of conduction and radiation, allowing uniform heating from both sides of the heater. The modular construction supports different lengths and connected configurations, making it possible to build vertical, multi-stage and curved heating structures. Different temperature zones can also be incorporated within larger systems, making Board Heaters particularly suitable for industrial furnaces and production equipment.

Up to 320°C • High Surface Strength • Uniform Two-Sided Heating • Modular Construction • Multi-Stage & Curved Configurations
