Heater Pads
Heater pads, also called heater mats, are heating equipment designed to regulate and maintain the temperature of various industrial manufacturing processes. These mats comprise electric heating elements embedded in a flexible, insulated material. A heating pad is placed directly on or under an object or surface that requires heating, such as pipes, tanks, or equipment in industrial environments. Electric heater mats are extremely flexible, cost-effective, and easy-to-install pads that last long. Additionally, heater pads are beneficial in environments and applications requiring heat for processing.
Popular Types of Heater Pads:
A heating pad comes in various types based on their materials and lamination. The most common heating pad types include:
- Silicone Rubber Heater Pads – These heater pads comprise a thin layer of silicone rubber embedded with heating elements. A silicone heater mat is highly flexible and durable and resists water, making it a highly preferred choice for scenarios requiring uniform heat distribution in both high and low-temperature applications. A silicone heater pad is subdivided into wire wound and etched foil heater mats widely used in heating applications.
- Micathermic Heater Pads – Micathermic heater mats consist of mica sheets coated with a thin layer of resistance wire. The mica serves as an insulator and substrate for heating elements heating appliances efficiently. A mica heater pad can withstand high temperatures and incorporate protection features to prevent accidents. These heaters are classified further into flat and band design heaters ideal for flat surfaces.
Typical Applications of Heater Pads:
Heater pads are extensively used in a broad range of industrial heating applications, including:
- Air Heaters
- Food Processing and Packaging
- Medical Equipment
- Enclosure Systems
- Industrial Ovens
- Residential Heating Appliances
- Chemical Reactors.
