The infrared ceramic heaters provide medium and long wave infrared radiation, are normally used in material priming processes and in plastic thermoforming, although their range of use increases in many more industrial processes that require remote heating by means of of this radiation.
These heaters are normally manufactured by a resistive spiral that can be nickel chrome inserted with a through a special treatment in a ceramic body, this allows it to withstand high temperatures that can range from 350 to 750 degrees, can incorporate thermocouples type j and type k. If a radiation temperature application is desired, this heater has an efficiency of 85% in most applications.
