Fibercraft™ Low Mass Diffusion Heating Elements

Fibercraft™ Low Mass Diffusion Heating Elements
The Fibercraft™ design incorporates helically wound flat ribbon, conventional wire or powdered-metal wire that is embedded in the vacuum formed ceramic fiber heating element insulation. By using this unique construction, Fibercraft™ elements more than triple the effective radiating surface. The result is maximum heat dissipation, lower operating costs, decreased thermal response time, and improved temperature uniformity.
FC-200
For:
- Low Temperature Operation
- Rapid Thermal Response
Ideal for LPCVD and thin oxidation processes, the Fibercraft FC-200 provides fast recovery and rapid cool down rates. These low-mass elements give you repeatable performance. Unique thermal engineering is used to increase the radiating surface, extending element lifetime. Available with heater surfaces coated black.
FC-200L
For:
- Low Temperature Operation
- Rapid Thermal Response
- Longer Life
The FC-200L offers all the properties of the FC-200 combined with the additional features of Kanthal™ APM powdered metal wire to provide longer life. Improved lifetime for LPCVD and thin oxidation processes. Available with heater surfaces coated black.
The Benefits of Kanthal™ APM Powdered-Metal Wire
Powdered-metal wire increases the overall effectiveness of a heating element in high temperature applications. At 1100°C, powdered metal wire lasts twice as long as conventional heating element wire. At lower temperatures, the difference is even greater. At high temperatures, powdered-metal wire also shows superior resistance to sagging. Powdered-metal wire also has a higher tolerance to corrosive atmospheres, making it a better choice for processes employing HCI.
