Temperature sensors find wide applications in our everyday life. They are used in thermometers, domestic water heaters, microwaves and refrigerators and a variety of other purposes. What is a Temperature Sensor? A temperature sensor is a device that measures the temperature of an object. This can be the temperature of the air, the temperature of […]

Production facilities around the world rely on specific heating capabilities to meet their demands. Cartridge heaters are used widely across industries for heating plastics as well as metals in many Process Heating Applications. What is a Cartridge Heater? A cartridge heater is a cylindrical heating device that delivers accurate and consistent heating for a variety

The growth of process heating technology has resulted in packaging innovations such as heat-sealed packages, tamper-resistant bottles and shrink wraps. Many effective packing methods require process heating. It is common for automated machines to use or add various sorts of heating products throughout the packaging process, which includes laminating, drying, pasteurizing, curing, flashing, evaporating, sterilizing,

Measuring our body temperature is common and not new to us, but have you wondered how we check the temperature of other objects? Our household thermometer is not enough to tell us that, hence we use a temperature sensor, for the same. What is a Temperature Sensor?  A temperature sensor is a device used to

A temperature controller, as the name implies, is a device that regulates the temperature. It accomplishes this by measuring the temperature and comparing it to the required value. The difference between these two numbers is then determined. Temperature controllers are important to ensure safe and effective operation and to prevent damage to any of the

Basics of Ceramic Infrared Heaters Most ceramic heaters consist of Nichrome (NiCr) that are contained within other insulating materials like silicone, mica or magnesium oxide. These materials serve as electrical insulators and also poor conductors of heat. Ceramic infrared heaters come in several shapes and sizes depending on their specific applications. They are manufactured in

The Basics of Coil Heaters Coil heaters differ from cartridge heaters in that they are formable electric heaters which are used to heat tools from the outside in.  The form factor of these heaters is smaller than cartridge heaters and are easier to get into complex shapes needed for three-dimensional heating.   Another common name for
