Multiple industries make use of flexible heaters. These heaters offer many advantages, including precision in their operation and durability. Manufacturers produce custom made heating elements that match specific industry and product requirements and regulations. At JenTer Technologies, we offer custom flexible heating elements that provide the perfect heating solution for many applications.
Flexible Heating Elements and their Benefits
Various flexible materials are used in the production of custom flexible heating elements, including aluminum foil, butyl, silicone rubber, and polyimide. These materials provide various benefits, including resistance to chemicals, moisture, and UV damage.
Flexible materials allow engineers to build heaters in various sizes, shapes, and thicknesses. They can also be made with custom watt densities and multiple circuits.
Custom Solutions for Flexible Heaters
Temperature control is one of the most important factors that needs to be achieved for industrial applications. A number of different components that are used in conjunction with custom made heating elements facilitate the heating process and make heaters more versatile in various applications. Some of these components include:
- Sensors: Nano materials represent one of several technologies that, when added to the heater build, can improve its versatility and performance. It is an electrically conductive material that produces electrical resistance to produce heat. The sensor is a self-regulating device and is able to adjust the ambient temperature in a room automatically. This results in a reduction in the consumption of electricity.
- Thermostats: This device is used to maintain standard control of the heating element. Thermostats are also useful as thermal cutoffs for other control systems.
- Controllers: These devices are used to control various aspects of the heating process. Multi-function controllers, for instance, allow users to control the temperature, safety disconnects, and power switching of the heater. With this device, the user only needs to monitor a single device instead of multiple devices.
The installation of these components in flexible heaters helps ensure a stable and accurate heating process.
