The Caloritech™ FS Finned Strip Heater is a versatile and economical heating source typically used across 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); original equipment (air conditioning, laboratory equipment, food packaging, ovens, presses, drying equipment). The fins improve heat transfer in free or forced air heating applications.
Features & Benefits At A Glance
- Constructed of specially selected, high grade materials, including high temperature alloy resistance wire, corrosion-resistant aluminized steel sheath (suitable for maximum sheath temperature less than 538 °C (1000°F) and 0.022″ (0.559 mm) thick cadmium plated steel fins
