How do I recognize a high-quality heater?

1) Thermal design

Depending on the task and area of application, the heating must be designed accordingly.

High-quality heaters enable safe and long-lasting operation, even under harsh industrial conditions. The purchase price pays for itself over a much longer service life and the daily use of the product and its reliable function ensure satisfied users, who in turn can produce quality.

Of course, every manufacturer claims to supply high-quality products. So how can you tell the difference?

1) Thermal design

Depending on the design (and calculation), the required heating output for a specific surface to be heated can be achieved with a heating element of varying length. The longer (and therefore more expensive) the heating element, the lower the specific load and the more uniform the heat transfer. Conversely, short (cheaper) heating elements have a high specific load and - depending on heat transfer - possibly a shorter service life.

2) Materials and components used

In a heating system, the heat resistance of all materials and components must first be guaranteed at operating temperature in continuous operation. Even when defining “continuous operation”, compromises are sometimes made. For us, this means 24/7/365 and accordingly all our products are subjected to extensive, multi-month long-term tests in an external laboratory during development. In addition, experience from many years of practical operation is regularly incorporated into improvements.

• High-quality and safe (certified) components:
• A robust connection cable with the correct conductor cross-section
• Housing and connectors made of impact-resistant plastic
• A robust housing made of EPP (Expanded PolyPropylene)
• Mechanical components such as buckles, fasteners and hooks made of break-proof plastic in industrial design

3) Labeling, documentation, packaging

• Type plate with clearly visible technical data, manufacturer contact and CE marking.
• Declaration of Conformity
• Easy-to-understand instructions for use
• Well-thought-out packaging that protects the product during transport and ensures safe storage when not in use.
