The ULTRAMIC heaters from Watlow are designed for thermal applications where the high performance of an advanced ceramic heater is required to ensure optimal effectiveness of the equipment and process. ULTRAMIC heaters are constructed of aluminum nitride (AIN) and incorporate a thermally matched proprietary heating element that provides maximum performance in challenging applications. AIN is especially suitable for applications requiring a clean, non-contaminating heat source. Additionally, the excellent geometric stability ensures consistent part-to-part thermal contact during heating cycles. Watlow AIN heaters can operate up to 400C (752F) with an ultra-fast ramp rate of up to 150C (270F) per second depending on the .

The MI strip heater is a thin, responsive heater setting unmatched standards for performance and durability. It makes use of the most advanced heater construction techniques, including embedding a nickel-chromium element wire in an exclusive mineral insulation. Watlows exclusive mineral insulation is a material with a much higher thermal conductivity than the mica and hard ceramic insulators used in conventional heaters. This thin layer of insulation brings the element wire closer to the heater sheath, resulting in easy heat flow from the element wire to the sheath. This allows the wire to run cooler than conventional heaters and increases heater life.

The diverse RAYMAX radiant panel heater product line from Watlow allows for customers to solve virtually any application requiring radiant heat.

Providing a high degree of technical support such as conducting application testing at Watlows facility, calculating the watt density and temperature requirements and recommending system components such as sensors and controllers.

Watlow offers several styles of sensors for use with flexible heaters. These sensors are available as preset or adjustable thermostats, thermocouples, thermistors, RTDs or thermal fuses. They can be integrally mounted (encapsulated in silicone rubber) to sense the temperature of either the part or the heater sheath. The thermostats can also be ordered separate from the heater, allowing direct control of your process temperature, if desired.

A current transformer (CT) provides a signal that is proportional to and isolated from the load that passes through it. The signal from the CT can be measured by a temperature or power controller. The value from that measurement may be used to trigger an alarm, detect an open heater or a shorted SSR, or to indicate the current. Choose the model that provides a measurable output for the planned load current.

These accessory components are used with Watlow temperature and process controllers and power controllers to reduce the effects of electromagnetic interference (EMI) and electromagnetic noise. Arc suppression devices are used to protect controller outputs when inductive loads are controlled. EMI filters are used in applications that must meet CE requirements to remove noise associated with operating power controllers.

Temperature variances exist in all systems, regardless of materials, working fluid or system design. There is no process that involves heating a particular medium where temperature of that medium is the same throughout-temperature gradients will always exist. Sensing the temperature at just one location in a process is acceptable for many applications because temperature gradients are often insignificant.Note: Sensor point locations are measured from protection tube tip. Please specify point location when ordering.
