Foil Laminated Heating Elements

Advantages of Foil Heaters

Foil heaters give commercial and industrial users more heating options in low-moisture environments. These heating elements offer a long-lasting heating solution that remains robust, effective, and reliable throughout its lifespan.

Foil-laminated heating elements are generally constructed from a flexible fiberglass heating element. This element is glued or laminated between foil sheets that lock in place to give the heating element more effective heat transfer. JenTer Technologies produces foil-laminated heating elements that are:

• Built to last. Our heating elements are laminated in foil sheets layered with a powerful adhesive. This adhesive provides strong initial and ultimate bonds that create a long-lasting and reliable heat transfer system.
• Customizable. JenTer can form foil-laminated heaters to match customized patterns and shapes. The heat can be concentrated in specific areas of the element or be distributed evenly. Each heating element production run can be customized to fit customers’ project needs and specifications.
• Simple to install and use. Our foil-laminated heaters are built for residential, commercial, and industrial processes that stay below 600°F. The heating elements don’t need expensive or complicated mounting to stay in place and deliver heat.
• Efficient. Our aluminum foil sheets ensure better heat transfer than other heating element styles. The foil provides complete surface contact so more heat energy is dispersed throughout the system as built.

FAQs

WHAT IS A FOIL LAMINATION HEATER?

A foil laminated heater is a low-cost, highly flexible heating element. It is made by laminating a resistance wire heating element between two sheets of a substrate such as foil, Polyimide, or Silicone. The foil has an adhesive that bonds the two sides of the foil, as well as the heating element wire, securely in place. They can be built to be moisture resistant for use in a wide range of applications.

WHAT IS THE TEMPERATURE RANGE OF A FOIL LAMINATION HEATER?

At JenTer, we provide our customers with foil laminated heaters that are built to operate in maximum temperatures of approximately 600°F to -40°F. Various build considerations determine the specific range. Moisture resilient silicone heaters work for ranges up to approximately 450°F.

WHERE ARE FOIL LAMINATION HEATERS USED?

The durability and reliability of foil laminated heaters make them a practical choice for low-moisture types of systems and applications. They are a common choice for medical equipment, automotive components, electrical appliances, and in the food equipment industry.

WHAT ARE THE STANDARD SIZES OF FOIL LAMINATION HEATERS?

JenTer manufactures custom foil lamination heaters to meet the needs of our customers. The ability to manufacturer these heaters to meet the specifications of the appliance, system, or equipment makes them a cost-effective option.

HOW MUCH DO FOIL LAMINATED HEATING ELEMENTS COST?

As with any type of custom product, the cost of foil laminated heating elements is dependent on several factors. The size and type of foil laminated heating element combined with the heating needs, including concentrating heat in parts of the element, all come into consideration.
