Component heaters
Component heaters
Heaters supplied as components come in numerous combinations of materials, watt densities, shapes, sizes, and more. Ensuring safe, reliable, and efficient operation requires that every design aspect aligns with the specific application. Our sales offices are ready to assist you in defining the component that best meets your requirements.
Tubular Heating Elements
Tubular heating elements are the most versatile heat source, suitable for heating liquids, air, gases, and solids through conduction, convection, or radiation. They can be formed into an almost limitless variety of shapes. DIRAC Industries offers a wide range of sheath materials and standard diameters, along with a variety of fixing glands and electrical terminations. Cooling fins can be added if needed, and there is even a version designed for hazardous areas.
Cartridge Heaters
Cartridge heaters are commonly used for heating metal parts by insertion into drilled holes. We offer two ranges: high watt density and low watt density, available in both metric and imperial sizes. A large selection of electrical terminations is available, along with various fixing glands, collars, and flanges. Type J or K thermocouples can be incorporated if required.
Mica Heaters
Mica insulated heaters are designed for heating flat or cylindrical surfaces by conduction and can be tailored to the requested shapes and sizes. Mica band heaters are mainly used in the plastics industry. For operating temperatures between 350°C and 450°C, ceramic insulated heaters are also available.
Cast-In Heaters
Cast-in heaters are highly customizable in terms of shapes and sizes, making them ideal for the food industry and plastic extruders.
Flexible Heaters
Flexible heaters are available as rubber mats or as heating circuits printed on plastic films, offering a multitude of possible applications. They can be attached to surfaces using clamps, laces, or adhesive, and can be combined with sensors or thermostats for precise control.
