Flexible Tubular Heater

Flexible tubular heaters make the heating of complex platens, shapes, and machines, possible. Flexible tubular heaters are completely flexible, and may be shaped at will. Around pipes, along platen paths, and other challenging shapes.
Excellent replacements for traditional tubular heaters, which are not flexible and most can be custom made in most cases.

Benefits: Flexible Tubular Heater

The Flexible Tubular heaters compress into the groove and provide excellent heat transfer. Straight lengths available Ex-Stock eliminate costly downtime associated with waiting for custom bent tubular heaters. Engineered with a robust design incorporating greater thermal mass, our Flexible Tubular Heater is user-formable with a flexible solid casing that stays in the groove, yet is easy to install.
