Product Details
Caloritech™ SS Series radiant strip heaters and component heaters feature offset terminals at one end and serve as a versatile and economical heating source, commonly utilized for various applications such as 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 railroads and load banks, winterizing (hoppers, conveyors, ducts, car heating, thawing), and original equipment (air conditioning, laboratory equipment, food packaging, ovens, presses, drying equipment). These strip heaters are equipped with two offset bolt-type terminals, making them easy to control through a heating control panel, mechanical thermostat, or cost-effective bi-metal thermostats installed on the heater's surface. The design includes mounting holes for secure installation on wall housings with accessible electrical connections, and upon request, lead wires can be provided through special order to enhance installation flexibility. The selected wire must correspond to the operating temperature, which varies by application, ensuring a suitable temperature rating for the insulation jacket. The heaters are encased in a stainless steel sheath, offering corrosion resistance and an appealing look, and are suitable for applications with a maximum sheath temperature of 1000°F (538°C). For applications requiring higher temperatures, stainless steel heaters are recommended.
