Technology (Lufran) Process Heaters


We are a distributor for Process Technology
a manufacturer of
Immersion Heaters, Heat
Exchangers, In-Line Heaters, Level and Temperature Controls.
They recently purchased Lufran, Inc.,
who we were also a distributor for. All of the former Lufran part #'s can
be crossed over to Process Technology part #'s. Please call us or e-mail for
details.
Their
products are designed specifically for heating and cooling of chemistry in wet
process manufacturing environments. Industries serves include electroplating,
anodizing, printed circuit board, cleaning technologies, pharmaceutical, food,
and biomedical. In addition to their standard
products many custom products engineered specifically for your application are
available.
INTRODUCING:
THE SAFEONE FROM PROCESS TECHNOLOGY:

Uses a positive temperature coefficient
(PTC) semiconductor ceramic-heating element, which is extremely resistive to
electrical current flow above a specific designated temperature. The PTC
material acts as its own high-limit thermostat – allowing current to flow when
cold and limiting the current flow when hot. In other words, the semiconductor
element self-regulates its maximum temperature. Due to the
self-regulating design of the Safe One heater, it's impossible to bypass the
thermal fuse – because there is none! Safety is built-in, not added on.
Can be safely wired to ANY voltage from 120 volts to 480 volts, with
single- or three-phase power – with no change in heat output. Thus, fewer units
need to be stocked. Any risk of over voltage damaging the heating element is
eliminated.

ELECTRIC IMMERSION HEATERS
Process Technology electric
immersion heaters are designed for the demands of corrosive chemical
heating. Open tank, screw plug and flange configurations are
available. A wide variety of sheath materials ensure long life
regardless of the chemistry. Materials include: fluoropolymer, quartz,
titanium, 316 stainless steel, 304 stainless steel and plain steel.
Sizes as small as 100 watts for laboratory environments and as large as
54,000 watts (flange heater up to 270,000 watts) for industrial
applications are available. Many standard configurations are available
from stock. Quick lead times are available for custom configured
heaters. (Manufacturing lead times can be as short as two or three
days.) Heaters are UL, CSA and CE. |
