SPX-C Custom Tank Heater Pads
For freeze protection and process heating applications on plastic, metal and composite surfaces.
SPX-C heater pads are specifically designed to provide the unique product and system features essential for the safe and reliable application of heat to the surface of heat-sensitive plastic, FRP and metal tanks, hoppers, chutes and other custom applications.
SPX-C heater pads are custom designed with pad
dimensions and power outputs available for each unique application. The SPX-C can be engineered with ultra-low watt density for freeze protection on extremely heat-sensitive composites and is also available with watt densities up to 0.60 Watts a square inch, for
maximum maintain temperatures up to 180°F(82°C)
The total construction of the SPX-C heater pad is completely waterproof. Each SPX-C heater is supplied with a rugged, encapsulated, factory made power termination complete with over-braided cold leads in custom lengths to suit your application. The SPX-C heater pad uses a proprietary heating element with continuously spot welded connections. This heating element is laminated into multiple layers of NEMA grade flame retardant, epoxy-glass composite to form a flexible, lightweight heater pad that is easily and quickly installed onto flat or curved surfaces.
Optional factory-applied adhesive backing can be used to bond the heater pad directly to the heated surface, allowing one person to complete a simple and effective installation in a matter of just a few minutes. The SPX-C heater construction also includes an internal aluminum ground shield for full compliance with the latest requirements of the National Electric Code. Each SPX-C heater pad is custom designed for its application, ensuring that the gentle, low-watt density heating will provide the right amount of power for the circumstances, regardless of environment, while protecting the structure and contents of each piece of equipment heated.
