Selecting a cartridge heater is no different than selecting other types of heating elements. There are many factors you must consider such as the application, environmental conditions, temperature capabilities and voltage.

A PID controller is more advanced than an old-fashioned wall-mounted thermostat and performs more calculations when determining how to control a process.

Typical heaters won’t fare well in a moist environment. They’re not built to withstand water or other liquids. The standard seal on most heaters is porous, and most high-temperature lead wire insulation may actually wick moisture into a heater.

TUTCO provided a highly efficient tubular heating element designed to fit perfectly within the required envelope of the equipment. The tubular heating element was engineered to deliver consistent and even heat distribution across the sheets of plastic.
