Industrial heaters are used to heat a variety of materials. They are available in many different shapes, sizes, and configurations. There are many different types of industrial heaters. Choices include air heaters, band heaters, coil heaters, cable heaters, cartridge heaters, cast-in heaters. Air heaters are used to heat air. This category includes forced air products and all types of radiant and space heaters. Band heaters are ring-shaped heaters that clamp onto a cylindrical object and heat via conductive heat transfer. Coil heaters and cable heaters are heating elements formed from straight (uncoiled) segments of round or square heating cable. Cartridge heaters are cylindrical heaters that are inserted into a heated substance. Cast-in heaters are made-to-order tubular or wire heaters that are cast into a part. These parts are designed to be an integral component of a larger piece of equipment.
Enclosure heaters are designed for use within enclosures. They prevent freezing and provide protection and humidity control. Flexible heaters can be molded to the shape of a heated object. Forced air use forced convection to move air past a heat source with a fan or blower. Immersion heaters are industrial heaters that are used in applications that require immersing the heater in the substance to heat. Flange and screw-plug varieties are easy to use and quick to install. Other unlisted, specialized, and proprietary types of industrial heaters are also available.
