Applications
Cool Touch™ inline heaters are engineered for high-temperature performance in environments where operator proximity, compact equipment layouts, or exposed tooling require low external temperatures. Their insulated, triple-pass design enables precise, focused heat delivery while keeping the outer shell cool enough for safe handling and integration.
Staking and Heat Forming – Apply precise heat to small thermoplastic components for staking, forming, or assembly in production or R&D environments.
Curing Coatings and Adhesives – Deliver uniform heat to cure adhesives, coatings, and films with consistency, improving bonding and process reliability.
Adhesive Activation – Activate pressure-sensitive or heat-activated adhesives in small components, packaging, or electronics assembly.
Drying Processes – Efficiently dry materials, coatings, or parts with controlled airflow, reducing process times and improving product quality.
Heat Shrinking – Shrink tubing or wrap materials accurately around components without damaging surrounding areas. Sterilization – Provide high-temperature airflow for sterilizing laboratory instruments, packaging, or medical components, particularly in small-scale or benchtop setups.
Adhesive activation – Improve bond performance by applying uniform heat to tapes, films, or structural adhesives.
Laboratory Research and Testing – Deliver precise thermal input for material studies, prototype testing, and experimental setups requiring controlled air heating.
OEM and Production Line Integration – Compact, reliable heating for assembly systems, automated stations, or modular equipment requiring localized, repeatable heating.
Prototype Development and Process Optimization – Ideal for engineers and researchers developing or refining thermal processes, allowing for fast iterations and adjustments.
Electronics Rework and Soldering Support – Focused airflow is suitable for de-soldering, reflow, or delicate thermal applications on small electronic components.
Material Conditioning and Preheating – Preheat components before bonding, forming, or processing, ensuring consistent quality and minimizing thermal shock.
The Cool Touch™ 200’s combination of high exhaust temperatures, operator-safe external surfaces, and compact, triple-pass design makes it an exceptional choice for precision heating tasks across laboratory, industrial, and OEM environments. Its ability to deliver consistent, high-performance heat while minimizing external temperature and energy loss enables users to achieve safe, reliable, and repeatable results in applications where accuracy and efficiency are essential.
Advantages Over Conventional Heaters
The Cool Touch™ 200 provides several key advantages that set it apart from traditional small air heaters and hot air tools:
Higher Airflow Capacity – Up to 70 SCFM supports large-scale processes not possible with compact heaters.
Superior Durability – Thick stainless-steel construction withstands industrial loads and continuous operation.
Improved Thermal Stability – Large internal mass stabilizes output temperature, even under fluctuating demand.
Versatile Integration – Wide range of voltages and fittings simplifies adoption across industries.
Energy Savings – Because the triple-pass setup maximizes heat transfer and minimizes losses, it can be more energy-efficient than simpler designs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely. The heater supports thermocouple fittings, integrated thermocouples, and flexible conduit options for closed-loop control. This is recommended for precision processes requiring tight temperature regulation.
The Cool Touch 200 is the largest, highest-capacity heater in the Cool Touch family, supporting up to 100 SCFM and power levels up to 12,500 W. It is designed for heavy industrial applications requiring extreme thermal output while maintaining a cool external shell.
Its internal design maximizes thermal transfer surface area and heat retention, allowing it to reach temperature quickly and maintain stable exhaust temperatures even under variable airflow, power cycling, or high-volume continuous flow.
Thanks to the triple-pass design, the exterior stays significantly cooler than a conventional single-pass heater operating at the same output temperature. While the surface may warm, it is substantially safer to touch and reduces the need for external shielding.
