Product Details
Caloritech™ SD Series radiant strip heaters and component heaters feature opposite end terminals and serve as a versatile and economical heating source for a wide range of applications, including surface heating (platens, dies, molds, tanks, piping), process air heating (drying cabinets, ovens, baking ovens, vacuum dehydrating ovens, moisture protection for motors), dropping resistors for line applications in railroads and load banks, winterizing (hoppers, conveyors, ducts, car heating, thawing), and original equipment in air conditioning, laboratory equipment, food packaging, ovens, presses, and drying equipment. The FS Series finned strip heaters are equipped with two offset bolt-type terminals at one end. These heaters can be controlled easily using a heating control panel, mechanical thermostat, or cost-effective bi-metal thermostats that can be installed directly on the heater surface. The heaters feature mounting holes to securely fix them to the wall housing, with a terminal extending from the sheath for straightforward electrical connections. Custom options include the possibility to request lead wires through special order to extend from one end of the strip heater for enhanced installation flexibility, allowing the temperature controller to adapt to specific configurations. The strip heaters are encased in an aluminized steel sheath, providing both corrosion resistance and an aesthetically pleasing appearance. These aluminized steel strip heaters are suitable for applications with a maximum sheath temperature not exceeding 1000°F (538°C); for higher temperatures, stainless steel heaters are recommended. The technical specification of these heaters requires knowledge of the operating temperature, which is application-dependent, to select the appropriate wire with a suitable temperature rating for the insulation jacket.
