ALEX (Aluminum
Extrusion) Reflector Assembly Housing for Ceramic Infrared Heaters


En Español
We also manufacture:
Custom size reflectors manufactured to your desired size
and specifications.
CRP panels - modular 12" x 12"
with LTE heaters

Our standard ALEX reflectors are a
complete reflector assembly with reflector, outer case and terminal blocks
and they can be mounted in any direction, or side by side to make a
larger panel. They are pre-wired for FTE
or HTE type
ceramic emitters and cannot be used with our FFE, HFE, QFE,
HSE or LTE type ceramic emitters. They require at least the standard 6"
(152.4mm) leads with pin terminals. The outer case is extruded aluminum and the reflector is
polished stainless steel. Our
replaceable thermocouple does not fit in our ALEX reflector
assemblies. Use our FRK
thermocouple instead.

ALEX/FFF (Holds three
FTE heaters)
The electrical conduit can be connected to either
end since they have a removable hole plug in the end cap. There is a green
ground screw in the terminal connection area and one or more TB-2 terminal block
connections which require heaters with at least 6" (152.4
mm) leads.

Position adjustable mounting style.
|
 |
1/2" conduit knockout.
|
 |
More durable and sturdy extruded aluminum.
|
 |
Stainless steel reflectors resist corrosion
better.
|
Built-in interlocking channel
A channel on each side of the
extrusion allows them to be interlocked
together using 16 gauge sheet metal. By customizing the size of the sheet
metal pieces, and the angles that they are placed, an oven can be constructed.

Mounting System
Standard mounting via a 1/4-20x1.5
stud, 2 hex nuts,
lock washer
and 2 washers:

 |
Adjustment for mounting hole spacing is possible because the
stud screws into a t-slot nut
with a ball/spring,
which slides in the groove of the top terminal cover extrusion. |
