What are Ceramic Heaters?
Ceramic heaters are durable electric resistors that effectively emit radiation at long wavelengths. Widely used in industrial and engineering fields, this type of heater has a wide range of applications, from thermoforming trays to the packaging industry, paint curing and drying. Additionally, they are effectively used in outdoor heating processes such as print drying, preheating, and infrared saunas. In addition to their long lifespan, they have the ability to quickly heat a large area due to their high heat dissipation capacity. With these features, ceramic heaters provide a reliable heating solution by quickly and uniformly providing heat in various applications.

Technical Information of Ceramic Heaters
Ceramic heaters are a type of infrared technology product that can be produced in various sizes. For example, they can be found in different dimensions such as 245*100 mm, 100*100 mm, 122*122 mm, and 60*60 mm. Thanks to specially formulated body compositions, they can withstand temperatures up to 750 degrees Celsius and provide the possibility of achieving 1000 watts of power with FFE models. Their flat surfaces provide homogeneous infrared distribution and they are long-lasting.
Ceramic heaters can operate through infrared ceramic emitters and exhibit reliable performance due to solid cast elements embedded in the ceramic body. There are flat solid fuel heater body parts with different radiation outputs for different applications.
These types of heaters operate by emitting heat similar to solar heat and are long-lasting due to their ability to rapidly convert electrical energy into heat.
Ceramic type heaters are generally produced in two different forms. The most common ones are semi-curved models, but flat and flat-surfaced ceramic heaters are also available.
These heater models can produce power between 125 W and 1000 W depending on their size, and the supply voltages are usually 230 V and 400 V.
These types of heaters have various applications, including cube sugar machines, plastic vacuum packaging machines, thermoforming machines, textiles, printing and paint drying processes, automotive paint drying systems, industrial ovens, and IR drying panels.
Application Areas of Ceramic Heaters
1. Electronic Devices: Heaters are commonly used for thermal control or temperature adjustment in electronic devices such as televisions, radios, electric vehicles, and appliances.
2. Industrial Heating and Cooling Control: They are used in applications requiring heating, cooling, and temperature control for industrial processes. For example, they are preferred for temperature control in systems such as industrial ovens, refrigerators, and chillers.
3. Thermoelectric Devices: They are used as temperature sensors for thermoelectric devices such as thermoelectric generators, Peltier coolers. These devices are typically used in cooling or heating applications, and ceramic heaters play an important role in temperature control of these devices.
4. Heating Elements: They are used as heating elements in household appliances such as electric kettles, ovens, bathroom cabinets, dishwashers, and in industrial applications. In these devices, ceramic heaters are used to control temperature and maintain the desired temperature level.
Types of Ceramic Heaters
Ceramic heaters offer various designs and features suitable for different operating conditions. These may include:
Flat Ceramic Heaters: Simple-designed ceramic heaters typically in flat and compact sizes. These heaters are preferred in various industrial and household applications.
Wire Heaters: Ceramic heaters produced in thin wire form. Their wire form provides flexibility in some applications and can be easily adapted to different shapes.
Strip Heaters: Resistant bands made of ceramic materials, typically wide and strip-shaped. They offer a more homogeneous performance in heat distribution.
Powder Heaters: Ceramic heaters made from ceramic powders, usually small in size. Their lightweight and small size make them preferred in some special applications.
High-Temperature Heaters: Ceramic heaters that can be safely used at temperatures above 1300°C. They are particularly preferred in applications requiring high temperatures such as industrial furnaces.
Low-Resistance Heaters: Ceramic heaters with an unusual resistance value. They are used in applications requiring low resistance in some special cases, such as high-current circuits.
