Engineered for dependable, high-intensity process heating, these Ceramic Insulated Channel Strip Heaters deliver efficient, uniform heat in a compact, rugged package. Built with a T304 stainless steel rectangular sheath, they feature a helically wound resistance coil threaded through premium ceramic insulators for even watt distribution and long service life. All internal voids are densely packed with high-purity magnesium oxide to maximize thermal conductivity and dielectric strength.
- Rectangular tube design provides full-surface contact in milled slots for maximum heat transfer.
- Available across a wide range of wattages and lengths to suit diverse industrial applications.
- Watt densities optimized for performance and longevity.
- Max. sheath temperature: 1200F (650C).
- Durable T304SS sheath resists corrosion and ensures reliable operation.
- Positive electrical connections via screw terminals or lead wires.
- Minimum order quantities vary by configuration; fast shipping available on many options.
Installation Guidance
For surface mounting, Channel Strip Heaters must be securely clamped along their entire length to a smooth metal surface to ensure proper heat transfer and prevent hot spots. When mounted using tabs, firmly secure the terminal end; keep the opposite end free to allow for thermal expansion.
Ideal Uses
Perfect for dies, molds, platens, sealing bars, tank heating, packaging equipment, and other applications requiring precise, consistent surface heating in a slim profile.
Why Choose Ceramic Insulated Channel Strip Heaters?
The robust stainless housing, high-purity MgO fill, and ceramic core construction provide excellent thermal efficiency, electrical insulation, and durability. This design ensures rapid heat-up, stable operating temperatures, and long-term reliability in demanding environments.
