Tempco Cartridge Heaters are designed for heating water and other liquids for applications including medical equipment, plastic molding, semiconductor manufacturing and more. Like other cartridge heaters, they’re capable of operating at low, medium, and high wattage densities, while withstanding extreme temperatures of up to 1400F.
Tempco manufactures different types of cartridge heaters, including hi-density, low-density, and immersion for the most comprehensive and diverse selection possible. They are also designed for Multi-Purpose or Highly Specific Single Use depending on their intended use. Tempco cartridge heaters are available in swaged or unswaged variations, and at low and high wattage densities.
Tempco Cartridge Heaters are available in the following types:
- Hi-Density Cartridge Heaters
- Hi-Density Miniature Cartridge Heaters
- Hi-Density Cartridge Heaters (Metric Sizes)
- Low-Density Cartridge Heaters
- Immersion Cartridge Heaters
- In-Line Forced Air Heaters
- Pennybottom Cartridge Heaters
- Underwater Pelletizer Die Cartridge Heaters
