High Temperature Ceramic Electric Heaters

Fibercraft™ Low Mass Vacuum Formed Ceramic Fiber Heaters

Fibercraft™ low mass vacuum formed ceramic fiber heaters are a heating element and insulation together in one complete unit. These heaters are manufactured using high quality, high purity ceramic fiber with a low sodium inorganic binder. They are offered with maximum operating temperatures of 1100°C (2012°F) or 1200°C (2192°F). .

The Fibercraft™ advantages include lower operating costs, increased radiant energy, longer life, low heat loss, more energy efficient, faster heat up, greater temperature uniformity, faster recovery rates, reduced process cycle time, less maintenance, faster cool down, less installation time, and greater productivity.

	FIBERCRAFT™ 1100°C (2000°F) HEATERS VF-360 These cylindrical heaters use a helically wound iron-chrome-aluminum wire partially embedded in the ceramic fiber. Leads can be standard (single strand) or braided (two strands twisted). The heaters are available with intregal vestibules with the opening sized to meet the need of the application.

	VF-180 Theses semi-cylindrical heaters use a helically wound iron-chrome-aluminum wire partially embedded in the ceramic fiber. The heaters can be used in pairs to surround an existing pipe or tube. Leads can be standard (single strand) or braided (two strands twisted). The heaters are available with intregal vestibules with the opening sized to meet the need of the application.

	FIBERCRAFT™ 1200°C (2200°F) HEATERS VFR-180 These semi-cylindrical heaters use a helically wound iron-chrome-aluminum ribbon partially embedded in the ceramic fiber. The design allows for heat to radiate off the coil in three (3) directions. The heaters can be used in pairs to surround an existing pipe or tube. The heaters are available with intregal vestibules with the opening sized to meet the need of the application. Leads can be standard (single strand) or braided (two strands twisted).

	P-VFR These low mass plate heaters use a helically wound iron-chrome-aluminum ribbon partially embedded in the ceramic fiber. The design allows for heat to radiate off the coil in three (3) directions. Leads can be standard (single strand) or braided (two strands twisted). Length and width can be customized for most applications.

	FP-VFR The FP-VFR has flanges that allow these heaters to be constructed into boxes, L-shapes, and other configurations. They use a helically wound iron-chrome-aluminum ribbon partially embedded in the ceramic fiber. The design allows for heat to radiate off the coil in three (3) directions. Leads can be standard (single strand) or braided (two strands twisted). Length and width can be customized for most applications.

Ceramic Refractory Heaters

	RL 180° Semi-Cylindrical Heaters 1010°C (1850°F) 80-20 Nickel-Chrome wire is helically wound and placed in a grooved ceramic refractory holder. The wire is exposed but can be embedded if required. Leads can be standard (single strand) or braided (two strands twisted). Available with insulation packages, with or with out vestibules. Length can be customized for most applications.

	RH 180° Semi-Cylindrical Heaters 1200°C (2200°F) Iron-Chrome-Aluminum wire is helically wound and placed in a grooved ceramic refractory holder. The coil is embedded with thermal compound cement, to prevent it from growing out at the grooves due to expansion. Leads can be standard (single strand) or braided (two strands twisted). Available with insulation packages, with or with out vestibules. Length can be customized for most applications.

Cast Plate Heaters

	PH-C Cast Plate Heaters (without side flanges) 1204°C (2200°F) Cast plate heaters are available in almost any size. The large ID grooves allow for much larger gage wire, therefore higher watts per square inch of heater surface than most standard plate heaters. Most options are available on the PH-C including thermocouple holes, braided leads and site ports to list a few. The standard sizes can be found in the brochure but almost any size can be manufactured by Thermcraft.
