Porcelain Heaters

About Porcelain Heaters

Porcelain heaters are a type of electric heater known for their efficiency and durability. These heaters use porcelain insulators that encase a high-resistance wire, typically made from nickel-chromium (NiCr) alloy. The porcelain material provides excellent insulation, heat resistance, and protection against corrosion, making these heaters ideal for industrial and commercial applications where consistent, high-temperature heating is required.

Porcelain heaters are often used in situations where heating elements need to be protected from environmental factors such as moisture, chemicals, or mechanical wear. The porcelain casing ensures that the heating element remains intact and functional, even under harsh conditions. They can be found in various forms, such as tubular, strip, or band heaters, and are commonly used in applications like injection molding machines, extruders, hot plates, and other process heating systems.
