CERAMIC STRIP HEATERS

JB Heater’s Ceramic Strip Heater is designed to withstand higher temperatures, making it a reliable and cost-effective heating solution for various applications. Often referred to as component heaters, strip heaters use surface area to transfer heat efficiently. They offer an affordable way to heat surfaces or small areas, fitting within many budget constraints. When used as radiant heaters, they can be equipped with fins to increase surface area and improve heat transfer to the air.

Our Ceramic Strip Heaters are dependable flat heating elements, providing efficient heating for both common and industrial applications. Their seamless sheath design ensures dimensional stability, particularly in milled slots, making them suitable for demanding environments.

Construction

Ceramic Strip Heaters are built with ceramic insulation, which quickly transfers heat from the resistance wire to the sheath, maintaining low internal temperatures and extending heater life in high-stress conditions. The resistance wire is precisely placed to ensure uniform temperature distribution across the width and length of the heater.

The inner construction features a wound nichrome resistance coil, threaded through ceramic insulator pieces. The coils are connected to screw terminals or high-temperature lead wires, ensuring a secure connection. MgO (magnesium oxide) is used to fill the open spaces around the coils, improving thermal conductivity and dielectric strength, resulting in efficient heat transfer and durability even in high-temperature applications.
