ceramicsilicon nitride

Flat heating elements made of silicon nitride are normally rectangular. Various measurements and batch sizes up to our mold diameter of 400 mm can be produced. The special properties and the low mass of ceramic allow fast heating rates, a uniform temperature distribution and high control accuracy. Small heating elements can be operated with very high surface power at short cycle times. In comparison to metallic heaters the surface of ceramic stays very smooth due to its low thermal expansion even when operated with changes in temperature. The high strength of hot- Advantages Your advantages: You can generate the heat exactly at the spot where it is needed Fast heating rates reduce processing time and increase Your yield through shorter cycle times The inert and chemically resistant ceramic material avoids any contamination of your system Customized design Our in-house designs make any modification in size, configuration, or performance simple and convenient. Mounting-bracket holes and bores for temperature sensors can be included. Laser-cut vacuum grooves can be added as well. Our flat heating elements come already flat ground, however they can be ground further up to a flatness of < 10 μm to meet specific requirements. A variety of shapes formed to the contour of the product or tool to be heated are possible as well.
