Flexible Tubular Heater
SKU: FLEX
The FLEX is a robust tubular heating element with excellent thermal properties, which can freely be bent by hand. Each heater must undergo an individual test i.a.w. (VDE 0700).
WHAT ARE FLEXIBLE TUBULAR HEATERS - TYPE FLEX
Flexible tubular heaters of type FLEX are robust, hand-bendable heating elements designed for industrial thermal management. They offer excellent heat transfer properties and can be easily shaped manually in three dimensions to fit complex contours, making them ideal for applications in sectors like plastics moulding and manufacturing where precise, uniform heating is essential.
ADVANTAGES OF FLEXIBLE TUBULAR HEATERS - TYPE FLEX
These heaters offer numerous advantages that make them a preferred choice for industrial applications. Their hand-bendable design allows for effortless shaping without the need for special tools, enabling simple installation into complex grooves or contours in three dimensions. This flexibility supports low bending radii and accommodates 3D geometries, ensuring precise fitment even in tight spaces. With excellent heat transfer properties, they deliver uniform heating up to 700°C sheath temperature, promoting efficiency and reliability in demanding environments like hot runner systems in the plastics industry. Additionally, their stainless steel construction provides durability against harsh conditions, while compliance with rigorous testing guarantee safety and consistent performance. For our customers, this means reduced downtime, cost-effective solutions, ultimately enhancing operational productivity and peace of mind.
