Temperature uniformity and efficient heat transfer.

Best Used For: 

A wide variety of applications.

Thermal Spray

Method of applying materials onto a base material by heating particles, creating a semi-molten state. Particles then propelled by high velocity onto a substrate and adhere via a mechanical bond.

Benefits: 

This technique is considered the "cold method of welding", where high temperatures can be achieved in the heated pocket, while the temperature of the part itself usually remains under 200°F.

Best Used For: 

Utilized to apply metal and ceramic based coatings.

Thermalon

Thermalon rolls are electrically heated rolls that deliver quicker warm-up times and rapid temperature recovery; with lower energy consumption.

Benefits: 

Thermalon boosts productivity through reduced maintenance downtime and improved temperature control. Thermalon can be easily retrofit to replace existing liquid systems.

Best Used For: 

Electrically heated rolls.
