ICH-101 Ceramic Full Trough Infrared Heating Elements (FTE) feature concaved shape, which is often used in accordingly shaped heating systems with distributed heat radiation sources. Such a curved shape also allows the emitter to increase the effective heating area.
ICH-101 Infrared ceramic trough heaters (250 - 1,000w) are manufactured using refractory materials resistant to aggressive chemicals and extreme temperature changes. Ceramic glaze (zirconium oxide) coating protects the emitter surface from moisture and harmful vapors.
These ceramic heat emitters are made of high-alumina chamotte containing 65 to 72% Aluminum oxide. Sintered high-alumina ceramics' high thermal conductivity allows obtaining the most uniform temperature across the radiation surface, providing uniform and high-quality radiant heating.
The ceramic infrared emitter should be installed together with a reflector at some distance from each other.
It is recommended to keep 200 mm (8 inches) to the material being heated.
Supplied with standard 100 mm (4 inches) ceramic beaded power leads.
ICH-100 series infrared ceramic heaters are used in the production heating equipment: thermoforming, drying chambers, infrared tunnels and panels, heating and drying conveyors, and various commercial heaters.
