Strip Heater with Fins

Strip heaters, often known as component heaters, are a simple way of using surface area to transfer heat effectively. Our Strip Heaters are made from high grade chrome wire insulated in refractory/Mica which possesses high thermal conductivity. As the leader in heaters industry, Elmec Heaters offers a variety of quality strip heaters. Strip heaters can be clamped or bolted onto objects or solid surface contact heating over large areas and are primarily used in indoor applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

A finned strip heater  is an electric heating element that incorporates metal fins onto its surface. The fins significantly increase the surface area, allowing for more efficient heat transfer to air or other media, making these heaters ideal for air heating and drying applications.

Strip heaters with fins offer increased surface area for better heat distribution and are more efficient at transferring heat.

  • Maximized heat transfer: Increased surface area from fins enables rapid and efficient heating
  • Uniform heating: Consistent temperature distribution avoids hotspots
  • Energy efficiency: Faster heating reduces energy consumption
  • Quick temperature response: Heaters reach the desired temperature rapidly
  • Easy installation: Mounting holes or slots allow for flexible installation

Our strip heaters with fins are typically made from stainless steel or other heat-resistant materials for durability and longevity

Industries such as food processing, plastics, packaging, HVAC, and drying/curing processes frequently use finned strip heaters for their reliability and efficiency in air and surface heating applications.
