|
The most efficient, cost-effective
and versatile heating element on the market
|
|
Ceramic silicon carbide electric heating elements are designed for high
temperature (1800°F to 3000°F) thermal processing applications - for use in furnaces
or kilns, as a radiant heat source.
As the most efficient, cost-effective and versatile heating element on the market,
Ceramic silicon carbide elements are used in many types of industrial furnaces. Since
there are no standard sizes and shapes of the products being heated, and no standard
dimensions or wattages in furnace designs, Cermet elements are available in a wide
variety of sizes and geometries - customized to meet your specific product, process and furnace criteria. specific product, process and furnace criteria.
