Flow Torch™ 200
The Flow Torch 200 is a 2” diameter stainless steel air heater designed for high flow rates at low pressure drops. It incorporates an open coil spiral wound element of the highest grade material which provides quick heat up and cool down cycles with maximum heat transfer. The Flow Torch 200 is capable of operation with airflows of up to 115 SCFM and a maximum operating pressure of 120 PSIG*. Maximum output temperature is 900 °F (482 °C). Standard power of 0.5 kW to 6 kW is available in 500 watt increments.
The Flow Torch 200 offers reliable, long-life performance and reduced operational costs. Applications include hot air curtains, air drying, baking, chemical processing, dehumidification, laminating, web drying, textile applications, ink drying, paint baking/drying, plastic curing, metallization, exhaust gas heating, hopper drying and sterilization. Optional equipment includes thermocouple and thermocouple fittings, stainless steel inlet and outlet reducers for hose or pipe. Control Panels are also available to provide precise temperature regulation. Regenerative Blowers available with complete systems. All Flow Torch Heaters are UL recognized components under UL file number E365755.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. All Flow Torch heaters—including the 200 series—use UL Recognized Components under UL file E365755, helping meet safety, compliance, and quality requirements in industrial and laboratory environments.
Yes. Optional thermocouples, thermocouple fittings, and control panels are available to enable closed-loop control, providing improved accuracy, process stability, and safety.
The open coil design enables rapid thermal response, often reaching operating temperature in seconds. This fast cycling capability makes it ideal for applications requiring tight temperature control or frequent thermal adjustments.
Yes. In fact, it is well-suited for regenerative blower systems, which deliver the high airflow at low pressure drop needed to maximize the heater’s performance and efficiency.
The Flow Torch 200 offers higher airflow capacity (up to 115 SCFM) in a compact 2-inch body, making it ideal for small-scale processes requiring high air movement with minimal pressure drop. Its open coil design enables faster response times than insulated or closed-element heaters.
