Creating a new product, or using an innovative technology solution to upgrade or enhance an existing product, is always possible for an OEM. New options in flexible heaters provide greater efficiency, faster heating, and more compact heaters for any type of equipment or product.
JenTer specializes in flexible heater solutions for all types of applications. As one of the leading flexible heaters manufacturers, we work with OEMs in all industries to create and produce the ideal heaters to meet your requirements. This customized approach ensures the heater material, specifications, temperature range, and life cycle is the right fit for the equipment, device, or product.
Why Flexible Heaters?
Our flexible heater solutions are designed to work on any shape or style of surface. We produce heaters via a variety of methods to allow the heater to conform to the shape of the surface.
As the heaters conform to the surface or mount area, they are ideal for more complex shapes. These heaters can be mounted on a curved surface, or on a complex shaped surface, without adding bulk, or mass, to the design. At the same time, we focus on creating optimal thermal heat transfer, ensuring uniform heating to the specific temperature required for the system, device, or application.
In our role as flexible heater manufacturers, we offer fully customized heating solutions. Our engineers can create heaters that are rugged and durable yet also incredibly thin. We create custom flexible heaters for military applications, as well as commercial and industrial applications, that are produced to stand up in the most aggressive environments.
Different materials and types of flexible heaters can be used in adverse types of environments that would be problematic for traditional heater solutions. We have heaters that are chemical resistant, moisture resistant, and offer maximum flexibility for compact heating solutions in very small spaces.
Open Coil Flexible Heaters
Also known as open coil heating elements, these mica or ceramic heaters offer high levels of efficiency while also providing temperature control. We manufacture a variety of styles and sizes of these wire wound heaters, including the option to choose voltage dropping coils for applications where a low voltage source is required.
Strong, durable, low cost to produce, and offering a long duty cycle, these are one of the most economical and efficient heaters for instant heating needs.
Foil Heating Elements
One of our most popular options in heating elements is our line of foil heaters. Thin, flexible, and extremely durable, these are also one of our most efficient flexible heating solutions. The use of the foil exterior allows for complete contact with the surface as well as optimal heat dispersion on the surface.
Our customers can expect efficiency and performance improvements with fiberglass foil heaters over traditional styles of covered heating elements. The design of these heaters includes a fiberglass heating element that is laminated between foil sheets.
We use an extremely strong adhesive to complete the laminating process. This allows these heaters to be formed to provide distributed or concentrated heat for residential, industrial, commercial, and military applications. These flexible heaters are ideal in applications where temperatures typically stay below 600° Fahrenheit.
Silicone Rubber Heaters
As one of the top flexible heater manufacturers for silicone rubber heating solutions, JenTer can create the ideal heater for your desired application. These are one of our most durable heaters that can stand up to abrasion, wear and tear, and even outdoor use. The design allows them to contour to any surface, and they can be easily bonded, or vulcanized, onto metal surfaces for superior heating and heat transfer.
The silicone rubber material is water and chemical resistant, which adds to an extended duty cycle for these heaters. For steady temperatures, without the need for a fast or high thermal ramp-up, these silicone rubber heaters are a very good choice.
These heaters can use a thermostat to allow temperature control or heat up to a specific temperature. Maintaining a set control temperature offers higher efficiency in any type of application.
Making the Choice
The key to choosing the most efficient flexible heating solution is to match the heater to the specific application and use environment. This is where working with the team at JenTer to customize flexible heater solutions is the best way to build efficiency, performance, and temperature control.
