PTC Cartridge Heater for Medical Equipment
Our cartridge heater is crafted from a sturdy cylindrical stainless steel tube, offering outstanding resistance to corrosion. Within, a precisely wound heating wire gracefully coils around a high-quality ceramic core, creating the powerhouse of this remarkable heater.
The coil count is meticulously customized to the heater's power requirements, ensuring superior heat distribution and extending its operational life. This intelligent design also reduces oxidation of the heating wire, even at high temperatures. Be it heating solids, liquids, or gases, our cartridge heaters shine in efficiently transferring heat through conduction when in direct contact with the heat sink. Perfect for molding plastic and rubber components in the automotive industry, these heaters are equally indispensable in sectors like food processing, chemical, electronics, medical equipment, packaging, and nuclear industries.
Beyond our comprehensive standard offerings, we excel in custom-designing and producing cartridge heaters uniquely tailored to meet your specific needs.
