The packaging industry needs a heat solution that can provide repeatable and reliable results over a long life span. We design and manufacture heaters for plastic packaging, drying, cup making, bag forming, filling, sealing, and many other packaging applications. Our heaters have been shown to increase line speed, reduce power consumption, and provide faster heat up and cool down than the competition.
Optimizing Energy Efficiencies
Packaging equipment manufacturers are actively working to minimize energy consumption and thus their carbon footprint. However, one area that often gets underestimated is the efficiency of heaters. At Tutco Farnam, we specialize in optimizing efficiency across controls, heater placement, and heater selection – areas that can significantly contribute to these gains.
Engineering and Support is a big part of what we do. Offered on an application by application basis. With our extensive heat application experience, chances are we have done something similar to your application. We can even assist you with your process design. While we generally will not design your process for you we are happy to assist.

Tutco Farnam offers the very best in design and enginering of custom heaters and heating components. Our capabilities are ideally suited to meet demanding production schedules, and we are committed to keeping up with the constant changes occuring in manufacturing and product design.
During a visit with a long time customer we were walking the factory floor. I asked an assembler on the floor how we could make the heaters easier to install. All he could comment on was how much of a pain it was to snake 48” leads through his gantry. And then when they failed, heaters are like light bulbs in that they do fail, this customer did not like having to string the lead wires. To solve this problem we now offer a 3 pin connector directly on most of our heat torches. Easy install and easy replacement.
