Gas and pump line heaters

Preformed silicone heaters are useful for diamters as small as 12 mm and up to 100 mm. Rounded silicone heaters are not possible with self-adhesive foil. Spiral Wrap Pre-Formed Silicone Rubber Heaters are suitable for tubes and flexible pipes and hoses with Ø 6,35 mm (1/4"). Spiral formed flex heaters can be used up to Ø 12 mm (the length of the stretchable silicone spiral wrap heater is reduced accordingly). The thickness of our spiral-wrapped silicone strip heaters is 2,2 mm. Also our gas and pump line heaters, most frequently used in the semi-conductor process, are shaped and pre-formed according to the object geometry to be heated. They are designed to regulate temperatures in order to prevent condensation in the line. Current applications here are Semi Conductors, Vacuum Chambers, Wafer Chucks, Valves, Exhaust & Pump Systems.

Advantages of Heating Plates with Square Cartridge Heaters: -> Simple plate manufacture due to rectangular groove geometry, no deep-hole boring -> Simple heater installation by bending and pressing along the plate surface -> Complex plate geometries with bores and openings -> Optimal heat transfer due to 75% surface contact -> No casting with heat conductive compound -> Uniform temperature profiles due to thermally optimized groove layouts/power distribution and utilization of insulation plates -> high process temperatures (up to 450°C in aluminium, up to 700°C in stainless steel) Example "Heated Stamp": D=100 mm out of tempered tool steel up to max. 700°C continuous temperature. Fitted with 2 Square Cartridge Heaters 1500 W/ 230 V, 4,5 x 4,5 mm x 600 mm, with 50 mm unheated at the termination end. Annealed and formable with a nickel sheath, resistant up to 850°C surface temperature. Connection by fibreglass insulated pure nickel high-temperature leads (max. 500°C)

The Freek heat transfer nozzle heater type especially addresses manufacturers and users who operated their hotrunner nozzles with cast-in heaters in the past and would like to stick to their engineering know-how without paying the high price of this former heater design. The standard material of our patent pending Freek heat transfer alternative is brass, with or without coating, basically with a slit. Characteristics of our HotMicroCoil nozzle heaters sheathed by a reflection tube are easy mounting and variable heat distribution. Because of its direct touch and toleranced fit, the heater allows a very good heat transmission to the nozzle. In all our HotMicroCoils with reflection tube the assembly of a thermocouple is possible and recommended for bigger diameters and power. Also most common nozzle heater solutions are HotMicrocoil heating elements with clamp bands with diverse locking mechanisms.

We can offer flexible heating elements manufactured from three different insulation materials: silicone, polyimide (Kapton) or polyester. Each of these materials possess different properties which make them suitable for diverse applications. Silicone heaters can also be produced in very large sizes, whereas polyimide is significantly thinner and polyester unbeatable in price when it comes to high quantities. All three of them are bespoke products made according to your needs, so within the bounds of what is technically feasible you as the customer can determine almost every feature of your heater. This can include; voltage, wattage, dimensions, shape, sensors, leads, plus much more. Due to their low thermal mass flexible polymer insulated heaters distinguish themselves by a very short response time and excellent controllability.
