Watlow Thick Film Heaters
Unique, New Heating Technology from Watlow
Watlow Thick Film Heaters can be applied in areas where space is at a premium or where conventional heaters cannot be used because the voltage and wattage combination precludes using other types of resistive heaters. Because of the nature of the thick film circuit, this heater can be designed to vary heat output across the entire surface. This feature will correct virtually any temperature uniformity problem that current designs may be generating. The thick film can be applied to many substrates including stainless steel and quartz.

Thick film on stainless steel provides a low-profile heater that has the ability to be laser cut or machined to fit any CAD-generated, two-dimensional shape. Due to the direct surface contact, these thick film heaters ensure greater heat transfer and faster response through thermally stable and inexpensive substrates. Ideal for clamp-on applications, many sizes are now available from stock.

Watlow’s new thick film heaters on quartz glass are ideal for use in many applications where visibility and corrosion resistance are required. Thick film on quartz substrates provide a low-profile heater that can be cut or blow molded to fit a variety of shapes and sizes. Since quartz is an efficient radiator of heat, thick film on quartz can be utilized as effective radiant heaters.

Thick film nozzle heaters are now available in a variety of sizes from stock to replace conventional band, cable, and cast-in heating technologies. Thick film offers an extremely low profile along with superior performance and temperature uniformity characteristics when compared with conventional heaters.
