Designed for versatility, the rectangular tube gives full surface contact when used in a milled slot, maximizing heat transfer area and efficiency. For surface mounting installations, Channel Strip Heaters must be securely clamped along their entire length to a smooth metal surface to ensure proper heat conduction and longevity.

Installation Guidance:

• Secure the terminal end firmly when supported by mounting tabs.
• Keep the opposite end loose to allow for thermal expansion.
• Select watt density and length to suit your heat profile and mounting surface.

Ideal for platen heating, molds, dies, sealing equipment, and other process heating tasks, these strip heaters combine durable stainless steel construction with efficient ceramic insulation for fast heat-up, even distribution, and dependable temperature control. Choose the configuration that fits your voltage, power, and application requirements to achieve consistent, energy-efficient performance.
