Cool |
All of our heaters also have a heat sensitive (color changing) decal on the front of the heater that gradually changes from red to black as the heater increases in temperature, and it returns to red when cool. Our ceramic heaters are available in standard white or a yellow temperature-sensitive glaze which changes color when energized. The yellow glaze will start to turn to a butterscotch/brown color at approximately 200°F (93°C). The temperature change occurs between 200-500°F (93-242°C.) We provide these elements with our color changing decal as well which changes from red to black (transition temperature is approximately 400°F (205°C). |

Applications
Almost anywhere a non-contact heat source is needed, including
heating, curing, cooking,
and drying. Though ceramic,
the elements are fairly rugged and are more durable than
quartz, and cleaning is easy, with their splash-proof, non-corrosive, glazed
finish, which also makes them the ideal choice for use in food handling, medical
facilities, or other antiseptic applications. The large variety of sizes,
shapes, and watt densities allows ceramic elements to be highly useful in zoning
arrangements such as plastic thermoforming where
complex heating patterns are needed.
Private Labeling
Private labeling of decals with the customers logo or name and part number in either
black or our red temperature indicating ink, is available. The customer must be willing to
purchase large quantities of decals (at least one 11" x 17" sheet is the minimum order.) One
sheet contains approximately 580 decals
of 8 pt. Arial Bold font. Larger fonts
will have less decals per sheet.
You may also provide your own camera ready
artwork in .eps, .pdf, .bmp, .tif, or other formats. A 1.5" x .5" logo will be approximately
112 decals per sheet.
The maximum size is about 1.5".

LTE Elements - More for Less
There are advantages from using extra large ceramic elements, which are
manufactured by only a few ceramic heater makers. Ceramic heater
manufacturers worldwide have standardized on the regular sized emitters in order
for the variety of finished products to be able to be used interchangeably.
Since the product originated in Europe, the standard size element was made to
metric measurement which often times creates problems in adapting to American
machines. The engineers at Mor Electric Heating Assoc.,
Inc. designed the LTE
element and Ceramic Radiant Panel (CRP) to get maximum
watt density in a square foot area with a "building block" design for panel
construction or single use. Panel makers are now discovering that using
LTE elements in large panels enable them to cover a specific area with less
elements. Less elements means less handling, less electrical connections,
fewer elements to zone and lower maintenance.
Because LTE elements cost more than the standard size, actual savings from using
large trough emitters is experienced through time and labor saved. The
other advantages come from improved watt density, because larger elements,
placed closer together, leave fewer gaps.
