Applications
- Operating Temperatures up to 200ºC
- Precise even distribution of heat
- Available with self adhesive backing
- Thermostatic Control available
Applications:- recommended for heating lower / mediumn temperature applications.
Used for Drums, Cylinders, flat plates, Water Basins, Food Process Machinery, Chemical Industry, and many more.....
Design:- All Silicon Rubber Heaters are manufactured to conform to the EEC Low Voltage and EMC Directives
and are CE marked accordingly.
Silicone rubber because of its high temperature tolerance and superb electrical insulating properties are well suited
to the production of heater mats. The heater mats are produced by laminating the evenly spaced resistance wires between
two sheets of silicone rubber, reinforced with a glass textile to give improved mechanical strength.
These surface heaters are suitable for applications where precise heating is required. Fine resistance wires
accurately and precisely positioned over areas of almost any shape or size. The close even spacing of the wires
ensure a uniform heat distribution over the entire working area. The maximum continuous operating temperature for
a silicone rubber heater mat is 200°C, allowing for a generous safety margin for short term over-temperature
excursions as high as 230°C. Being thin and light weight, silicone rubber heater mats have a low thermal mass and
therefore have rapid heat up characteristics and a fast response to temperature control.
Heater mats can be manufactured in almost any size and shape to suit the application, including holes and cut outs
without disturbing the even distribution of heat. Also available is a range of in-built temperature limiters or
temperature sensors to suit customer's instrumentation.
Our surface heaters can be supplied with an acrylic self-adhesive backing to allow for easy positioning and assembly.
These heaters can also be manufactured with eyelets, straps, hooks or Velcro as further options for fixing.
As for heaters which are not for static applications we can supply a more rugged silicone material to
allow for repeated handling which will give a longer life.
Design
Consists of smooth PTFE tube sheathed with stainless steel, insulated by silicon foam (200°C) union with stainless steel
free nut ( BSP with cone 60°), temperature control by PT100 or thermocouple type J or K centered on the heating hose.
Elmatic Heated Hoses will heat electrically any type of flexible hose, either single hoses or
multiple hoses bunched together. We can also heat hoses supplied by customers, or advise on suitable alternatives.
