Heaters for Thermoforming / Vacuum Forming of Plastics

Thermoforming is the heating and molding of plastic sheet or film of a variety of thickness and sizes. All of the electric heater options available are listed below.

Salamander Ceramic Heaters. Individual elements are 96% infrared energy efficient with a maximum temperature of 1292ºF.   Standard voltages are 120, 220, 230, 240 and 480 and standard wattages range between 150 and 1000. CRP. (Ceramic Radiant Panel) Our 12" x 12" stainless steel modular reflector panel with 3 LTE size ceramic heaters for a modular building block design or as a stand alone unit and can be mounted on angle iron gridwork.
ALEX. Aluminum extrusion housing case pre-wired for 1-5 FTE type ceramic heaters.  The reflector is polished stainless steel.  Can be mounted in any direction, or side by side to make a larger panel. Solar Products FBA-Series. Similar to the F-Series heater, with holes drilled in the heater face to allow for forced airflow through the heater.  The purpose of the airflow is to provide combination infrared/convection heating.  The heater can be as wide as 24" (610mm) and as long as 72" (1829mm), though not this wide and long in the same heater.
Solar Products F-Series. Industry standard in thermoforming and can be used in most other process heating applications. Solar Products Q-Series. As wide as 12" (305mm) and as long as 24" (610mm).  The QP model has a maximum watt density of 40 wsi (62 kw/m2). The QH model has a maximum watt density of 60 wsi (93 kw/m2).
Solar Products M, G, K Series. The G-Series heaters have also become an industry standard in thermoforming.  The M-Series heaters, with a hard-coated aluminum face has increased durability of a metal face that is often required in the thermoforming industry. Chromalox CP Panel Heaters. Flat-Faced Wide Area Radiant Panel Heaters. Woven refractory cloth with a black ceramic coating on the front. 0.55 - 18 kW. 120, 230, 240 and 480 Volt. 1650°F Max.
