Process air heaters are robust hot air components used in industrial and commercial processes. Each heater is designed to work within a range of airflows and air pressures. Generally speaking, Heat Torches are low-flow high-pressure air heaters. Flow Torches are high-flow low-pressure air heaters. The Cool Touch™ heat torch option minimizes the skin temperature of the heater and helps protect people and products from hot surfaces. Applications include drying, curing, melting, cutting, baking, heat shrinking, de-soldering, metallization, heat staking, sterilization, air scrubbing, laminating, adhesive activation, hot air curtains, and air knives.
Tutco-Farnam has designed over 2,000 different custom air heaters used in factories and OEM equipment around the world. Durability, long life, rapid response time, and efficient heat transfer are goals of the heater design engineer. Our line of pre-designed process air heating solutions evolved from our custom design experience. Over time, we found that some solutions were easily adaptable to a variety of heating applications. Pre-designed solutions are customizable and made to order, so they may not be available for next-day delivery.
