Ceramic Heaters
Ceramic Heaters are a variety of efficient, durable resistors that glow infared long wavelength. Ceramic Type Heaters are used in many different industrial and engineering applications. Thermoforming pans are effectively used in outdoor heating and infrared saunas such as packaging industry, paint curing and drying, printing drying, preheating. These resistors, which can emit very high heat, have a very long lifespan because they undergo high heat. These resistors provide easy heating due to their ability to spread heat quickly and simultaneously throughout the entire area.
Technical Information
Such resistors be easily produced in different sizes for years with infrared technology. In addition, the other less preferred dimensions are 245*100 mm – 100*100m – 122*122 mm and 60*60mm. Thanks to the specially formulated body doughs, it is possible to achieve 1000 watts of power with FFE models of ceramic flat resistors that can reach up to 750 degrees Celsius. Ceramic Heaters
with a flat body surface and where you can achieve homogeneous infrared distribution have durability that you can use for many years.
Solid cast elements embedded in the of ceramic flat resistors that can work through infrared ceramic emitters allow you to achieve reliable operation. The heater body parts, which are flat solid fuel, also have different radiation outputs for different applications.
Such resistors provide heat close to the sun’s temperature. Ceramic flat resistors, which have the ability to convert the energy obtained from electricity into heat in a short time, are long-lasting resistors.
