At TUTCO-Farnam, the majority of our custom-designed heaters use mica board machined to meet the customer’s specifications.

TUTCO received a unique request from a customer seeking tubular heating elements for electric branding irons designed for wood and leather applications.

TUTCO was approached by a customer with a unique requirement for heaters to be integrated into portable equipment designed for honey harvesting in remote areas where beekeepers manage their hives.

As we study heat transfer and any thermal system, we will need to consider the three types of heat transfer, which are conduction, convection, and radiation.

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

While there are many factors that determine a heaters upper temperature limit, understanding temperature limitations in a heater is essential for maximizing heater performance and ensuring safety.

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.
