A high-volume garment manufacturer using a large heated fabric press to mold and form accessories faced a challenge with the Mica Band heaters used in the press.

An automotive customer had an issue with a heater they were using in a curing oven where the application required using a liquid mist on a new material they were curing.

A blown film manufacturer approached TUTCO with a unique requirement for special machined heater assemblies to be used in a specific process that did not have common off-the-shelf options.

TUTCO engineered a highly customized tubular element assembly capable of withstanding exposure to the diverse chemical solutions present in the manufacturing process.

In the design of a custom open coil heating element, several factors need to be considered when selecting the optimum coil(s) for an application.
