Key Features & Benefits
Compact, High-Intensity Heating
Heat Torch heaters deliver robust thermal output in a small cylindrical design, ideal for equipment with limited space or for point-of-use heating within complex systems.
Precise Temperature Control
Open-coil elements reach operating temperature quickly and cool down rapidly. This enables tight control bands, fast cycling, and consistent performance—even under variable flow conditions.
Broad Temperature Capability
Depending on the model, Heat Torch units can achieve outlet temperatures up to 900°C (1652°F). This wide range supports demanding industrial, research, and manufacturing processes.
Low Pressure Drop
Engineered internal geometries minimize airflow restriction, ensuring your compressor, blower, or delivery system operates efficiently without unnecessary load or energy loss.
Flexible Configuration Options
Customers can select from multiple voltages, wattages, terminal styles, mounting hardware, materials, and insulation options. Custom options include:
- High-temperature internal components
- Chemical-resistant housings
- Pressure-rated bodies
- Extended leads or protected terminal enclosures
- Integrated control solutions
UL-Recognized Safety & Compliance
All Heat Torch assembly components meet stringent safety standards under UL File #E365755. The design supports safe operation under high temperatures and continuous-duty industrial use.
